Six or more Money symbols trigger three Money Respins, keeping those symbols on screen. Each new Money symbol resets the respin counter to three; a free-spin retrigger adds three spins. Money Respins can also begin during free spins. ## Find your answer - [Compare the features](https://howtocasino.uk/best-slot/wolf-gold/#compare-features) - [Follow the respin counter](https://howtocasino.uk/best-slot/wolf-gold/#respin-reset) - [Prizes and units](https://howtocasino.uk/best-slot/wolf-gold/#prizes-and-units) - [Check the version](https://howtocasino.uk/best-slot/wolf-gold/#original-game-and-gb-listings) ![Wolf Gold counter examples: two free spins remaining plus a three-spin retrigger gives five; one respin remaining resets to three when a new Money symbol lands.](https://howtocasino.uk/illustrations/wolf-gold-reset-and-add.png) Illustrative counters for original Wolf Gold. Free-spin retriggers add three; a new Money symbol restores the Money Respin counter to three. This is an explanatory diagram, not a game screenshot. ## Two triggers, two different bonus rounds This guide covers Pragmatic Play’s original Wolf Gold, played on five reels with three rows and 25 paylines. | Rule | Free spins | Money Respins | | --- | --- | --- | | Trigger | Three scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5. | At least six moon-shaped Money symbols. | | Starting allocation | Five free spins. | Three respins. | | What happens on screen | Reels 2, 3 and 4 combine into one giant symbol; payline wins remain relevant. | The triggering moons stay in place. The other symbols disappear; only moons and blanks can land. | | How the counter changes | Three more scatters add three spins. | At least one new moon restores the counter to three. | | How prizes are counted | Winning combinations are paid under the paytable. | All held moon values are collected at the end. Filling all 15 spaces also awards Mega. | Sources: - [Wolf Gold: original supplier description and Basic Game Info](https://www.pragmaticplay.com/en/games/wolf-gold-slot/) — Pragmatic Play.

During the feature, the three middle reels act together as a giant symbol. A further set of three scatters awards another three spins; Pragmatic Play states no limit on the number of these retriggers. The retrigger is an addition. If two spins remain after the current spin has been used, a three-spin award leaves 2 + 3 = 5. It does not replace that balance with three.

Its Money symbols stay on the board, and every new moon remains until the round ends. A respin with no new moon reduces the counter; one or more new moons sets it back to three. | Illustrative event | Respins left | Moons held | | --- | --- | --- | | Six moons trigger the feature. | 3 | 6 | | No new moon. | 2 | 6 | | No new moon. | 1 | 6 | | One new moon lands. | 3 | 7 | | Three successive respins add no moons. | 0 — round ends | 7 | A successful respin restores three opportunities; it does not add three to the previous counter. Several moons on one respin still produce one reset to three. Filling all 15 spaces ends the feature even if respins remain.

Add every held moon at the end, including those that triggered the feature. For example, if the opening moons total £10 and later moons add £2, the moon total is £12. These are invented cash totals, with no jackpot award or separate line win included. Filling all 15 spaces adds the Mega Jackpot to the moon total. MrQ describes Mega as 1,000× the total bet; Pragmatic Play also states 1,000×. At an illustrative 50p total bet, that extra award is £500. This calculates Mega alone. It does not establish the maximum payout of the whole round. The checked pages do not establish numerical Mini and Major prizes. Read their displayed amounts in the exact game rather than assigning figures from another Wolf Gold title. > **Total bet and bet per line are different units** > > With 25 lines and an illustrative 50p total bet, the bet per line is 2p. The three-scatter award of 1× total bet is 50p. Ordinary line-paytable amounts use the bet-per-line base. For Money Respins, add the displayed cash values; multiplying that cash total by 25 again would count it incorrectly. If values are shown as coins, check their stated cash conversion.

The free-spin feature and the moon-collection round are therefore distinct mechanics that can occur within the same bonus. A respin reset remains a reset to three; it is not a three-free-spin retrigger.

Read the full title as well: Wolf Gold Ultimate has additional respin grids in its own supplier description. Those rules do not describe the original game. This guide also excludes PowerJackpot and 4Pack editions. **Sources and limits of this explanation** Checked on 6 November 2026 using Pragmatic Play’s public descriptions, the two operators’ own game pages and the Gambling Commission register. We also read all three pages of an undated original-title rule sheet hosted by the non-GB operator YesPlay. Its bonus mechanics agree with the supplier and GB operator descriptions. The foreign-hosted rule sheet helps explain paytable units; its RTP, autoplay, quick-spin and other interface settings are not applied to current GB games here.

Promotional spins offered by a casino have their own eligibility and conditions. A promotion beside the game description does not change the game’s three-scatter trigger.

The wolf is the game’s wild symbol; use the actual symbol and paytable when reading a result.
