Flaming Wolf Link&Win is an online slot from Swedish studio Barstruck, a new Games Global partner. What we have here is an animal-theme spinner that has a heavy Arizona, planes of America vibe to it, implementing the Link&Win mechanic.

At the time of writing, this was the only game in Barstruck’s portfolio, which should not be super surprising as this company debuted in 2024. Developed in 2021, Link&Win is a gameplay system that the Games Global team invented, and it is a highlighted feature in games by many of its affiliated developers.

Aside from it, Flaming Wolf Link&Win also looks to spice up its gaming entertainment with a Win Booster option, four jackpot rewards, and a free spin bonus.

At first sight, I found the warm colors and graphics of this online slot easy on my eyes and thought it had a polished look, although a bit unoriginal. Still, I had no reservations about giving it a shot and supplying you with my detailed Flaming Wolf Link&Win review below. Read it to learn if this title is any good or a dud.

I do not know what it is with these landscape and animal slots with Monument Valley-style backdrops. Wolf Gold may have something to do with the rise of these games and their popularity, and Pragmatic Play has more than a few from this category, including a range of Buffalo King titles, such as Buffalo King Untamed Megaways.

Flaming Wolf Link&Win does not differ dramatically in terms of its presentation from some of its prime sub-genre competitors. It also reminded me of Northern Lights Gaming Bison Moon slots, which are also Link&Winn ones.

The gaming entertainment here transpires on a 5x3 grid, with classic royals, animals synonymous with the US, and moon tokens. There are loads of colors in this spinner, and they have gotten adjusted to feature just the right amount of saturation and warmth.

The music in Flaming Wolf Link&Win, which accompanies the action, is an easy-listening western-inspired tune, which gets complemented by some light and no-so-light sound effects. I could have done without the tease animations, but I like how appropriately sized all the buttons are right off the 5x3 layout.

You need to set a wager size to start playing the Flaming Wolf Link&Win online slot. The betting range in this Games Global-distributed product moves from 10c to $20 per spin. Pick a size that suits you best, then click on the right-side spin button, the biggest one in the vertical stack, above the chip icon (the bet selector).

Concerning win-formation, you get treated to twenty-five paylines that pay left to right for combos that hit on adjacent reels. Flaming Wolf Link&Win has four royals, A, K, Q, and J, supplying prizes from 2x to 4x when five matching ones from this group land. You need at least three for a payout. 

Their premium counterparts are a caribou, a bear, a cougar, and an eagle. These produce wins from 7.5x to 25x for five-of-a-kind combinations. 

A golden howling wolf is the scatter of this Barstruck gaming product, and the wolf is the wild. He can substitute pay symbols and generate wins of 500x when he shows up five times on the 5x3 grid. This wolf is fire, pun intended.

Landing six to fourteen Link&Win symbols anywhere gains you access to the Link&Win feature, where each of these tokens uncovers a jackpot or cash prize. The mode starts with three respins, where only special symbols and blanks appear. Landed Link&Win tokens remain in place for the duration of the round, resetting the spin count back to three.

The four Flaming Wolf Link&Win jackpots are:

• Mini – 50x
• Minor – 150x
• Major – 750x
• Mega – 5,000x

These get awarded for each link token they appear on, and fifteen are what get you the mega prize.

The free spin bonus in this slot activates via three scatters. In it, the middle three reels join into a 3x3 block. Hitting a jumbo block adds ten more spins. Note that the scatters only appear on the middle three reels.

You also get a Win Booster option, which costs 2.5x and boosts your odds of bringing the Link&Win feature to life.  

I’m not going to beat around the bush. I used the Win Booster option. And it paid off for me. I go into the Link&Win feature and go out of it with a prize of 225x. So, this was well worth it in my book.

Around twenty gaming rounds after I exited the Link&Win feature, I got into the free spin bonus and walked away with a reward of 55x from it. Thus, things were looking good for me in my session, which I budgeted at $70 but ended with $113 extra in my pocket. In my eyes, this was not a bad night’s work, spinning at $1. I hope you get so lucky enjoying this game.

Flaming Wolf Link&Win is a high volatility online slot with an RTP setting of 96.08%, and a theoretical max win of 12,650x, capped at $253.000.

If you have played any other Link&Win titles from other Games Global partners, then you will instantly know what the deal is here. Essentially, the whole appeal of this slot rests on you being a fan of this mechanic. If you are, then you are likely to like this game. If not, I do not see it doing much for you.

Flaming Wolf Link&Win looks nice enough, but it does not have a presentation that will blow your socks off, and it does not offer anything unique. It is only a solid entry in its genre and a decent option for its fans.

A Link&Win game I prefer to this one is WWE Legends Link&Win and ones with a similar theme to Flaming Wolf I fancy more is Bison Moon Megaways Ultra Link&Win.
