The Silver Fang video slot machine first made an appearance on the online gaming circuit during August 2009 and runs on Microgaming software. It promises to engage players with their extremely realistic graphics and Native American cum Lord of the Rings inspired background score. The designers of the game have added wolves and elks into the main display of the game in order to render a more realistic picture of the ice sheeted tundra where the backdrop of the video slot is set. A pack of ravage wolves apparently have a sense of dominance over the ice heaped peaks of North Europe. This setting makes for a very interesting and engaging slot game.

The betting range per payline for this video slot is between $.01 and $.05. While this is not particularly ground breaking, the number of paylines in itself is quite staggering. An interesting set of symbols have been used to denote winning combinations on the machine. These symbols include the Spoor, the Wolf, Moose, Howling wolf, and the official Silver Fang brand mark. Popular icons from card games like the Jack, Queen, Ace, 10 and King have also been incorporated in a bid to create 50 different winning possibilities.

The actual game has 5-reels and a whopping 50 paylines. More paylines translate to more winnings for players. 50 paylines is among the largest number of paylines for video slot machines in the Internet space currently. A maximum payout of 125,000 is possible. The Spoor of the wolf pack is the scatter symbol for this exciting video slot game. When 3, 4 or 5 paw trails appear on the reels, the free spins feature is set off. A maximum of 15 free spins can be received by players. Players who get five paw trails get a massive 50 times multiplier. Those who get 4 and 5 paw trail symbols get multiplier bonuses of 20 times and 5 times respectively.

The Howling Wolf has been assigned the role of a wild symbol in the machine. Any player who manages to get five wild symbols on spinning the wheel gets a winning payout of 1000 coins. The Silver Fang slot also has an exciting feature called ‘Gamble’. This tab is present on top of the main display screen. Every time a player gets a successful payline, he can choose to gamble his winnings by clicking on this tab. The gamble can net him a multiplier between 2 times and 4 times of the winnings hedged. If he predicts the exact card color he gets double the winnings. Additionally if the player can accurately predict the right card suit he can get 4 times his winnings. The game has preset gambling limits and players can use the feature so long as that is not breached.
