Hood vs Wolf Slot by PG Soft

Rock-Paper-Scissors decides your bonus round. Not a random trigger, not a scatter count - an actual interactive RPS game between you and one of the two title characters, with your free spin count riding on whether you pick correctly across three rounds. It's a level of player input you almost never see in slots, even if the outcome is still ultimately random on the game's side.

Getting there takes patience. A tug-of-war collection bar sits above the reels, tracking Hood on one side and Wolf on the other, both starting at zero. Hood Power and Wolf Power symbols land during base game spins, and whichever character has more on a given spin pushes the bar - the difference between the two counts gets added to the winner's score and subtracted from the loser's. First one to reach 18 triggers that character's feature. With both features hitting roughly once every 229 spins, you'll spend a lot of time watching that bar inch back and forth before either side breaks through.

The two features play out differently despite sharing the RPS structure. Wolf Feature awards 5 free spins per RPS round won, each spin placing 1 framed position on the reels. Land a Wild, Hood, Basket, or Flower inside that frame and 3 to 8 random Wilds scatter across the grid. Hood Feature also gives 5 spins per round won but with 5 framed positions per spin instead of 1 - and Wolf, Claws, or Tail symbols landing in those frames transform directly into Wilds. Hood's version spreads more frames but converts fewer symbols per frame. Wolf's version concentrates on a single position but floods the grid when it connects. Win all three RPS rounds in either feature and you walk away with 15 free spins total.

Between the main features, a Mini Janken triggers whenever Rock, Paper, or Scissors symbols appear as a pair on reels 2 and 4. The winning symbol of the two pays a prize - it fires about once every 23 spins, keeping the base game from going completely dead between collection bar pushes. The anime-styled characters - Hood in red cloak, Wolf in grey fur - fight it out against a dark forest backdrop rendered in that flat, cel-shaded PG Soft look from their earlier catalog. One number worth knowing: the theoretical max is 4,000x, but a billion-spin simulation only produced 360x. That gap between math ceiling and practical reality is wide, even for a 2019 release.
