Wild North

Play’n GO’s Wild North, released in 2015, takes players to a snowy northern forest where forest animals, the Northern Lights and falling snow create a chilly gaming experience. Animal symbols on the paylines bring wins up to 2,500 the bet in the middle of the snowy landscape, while the Northern Lights appear in the sky when the bonus games begin.

One of Wild North’s special features is its seven different bonus games, which bring variety to the free spins. During the bonus games, the win potential increases through special features such as multipliers and symbol combinations, or through various prizes revealed behind the tiles.

Journey into the Northern Wilderness

Wild North is a traditional slot played on a 5x4 reel layout with 40 fixed paylines. Wins are formed when at least three matching symbols land on a payline, starting from the left. Majestic music and the sound of icy winter winds enhance the game's northern atmosphere, while the growl of a lynx signals the appearance of the Wild symbol. When a bonus feature is triggered, the snowy landscape is illuminated by the Northern Lights, and the wolf, lynx, owl, bear, and reindeer each lead to their own unique bonus game.

Who is this Game for?

Wild North is well suited to players who enjoy northern landscapes and the beauty of a winter scenery. Its low to medium volatility provides a steady gameplay experience, with wins expected to occur fairly regularly. Combined with its relaxed pace and charming winter setting, the game is an enjoyable choice for players looking for a calm slot experience.

In 2026, Play'n GO released Wild North Radiant Skies GO Collect, an updated version of the original 2015 Wild North. The newer release features enhanced graphics, a collection mechanic used to trigger bonus games, and slightly revised bonus mechanics, while preserving the original game's northern theme. If you enjoy Wild North, the newer version is well worth trying.

Players looking for other animal-themed games, Play’n GO’s new high-volatility slot Colt Lightning Inferno features wild horses in the stormy prairie landscapes. For those looking for Nordic-themed games, Troll Hunters 2 can be another interesting choice, with wins forming in clusters and Wilds with multipliers appearing on the reels.
