Curse of the Werewolf Megaways review
Curse of the Werewolf Megaways puts the player against a monster on a full-moon night. Pragmatic Play released it in 2020 as a six-reel Megaways game with variable reel heights, and it calls the result highly volatile. Its main feature is a free spins round with a progressive element and an attacking werewolf symbol that removes lives. One detail needs care before anything else: the RTP is stated differently in two places, and both figures are covered below.
Six reels of changing height
Wins run left to right on a Megaways layout, where the height of each reel varies. The official rules describe variable reel heights without giving a grid size or ways count, so neither is stated here. The wild appears only on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, which means it cannot land on the first reel and cannot help start a win there.
The Bonus symbol is the other key piece. It appears on every reel and can be of any size, according to the rules. Three of them are enough to start the round.
The free spins round
Three or more Bonus symbols start the round, and the count sets the number of spins. The awards are listed below.
The studio says the round has a progressive feature, and the rules add a symbol that exists only here: the Attacking Werewolf. It stays inside the free spins, and its hit removes between one and five lives. The material we have does not say whose lives these are or what happens when they run out, so we do not describe the end of that mechanic.
Free spins awards
Three Bonus symbols award 8 free spins, four award 10, five award 12 and six award 15. Each extra symbol therefore adds two spins until the last step, where the sixth symbol adds three.
Attacking Werewolf
This symbol appears only during the free spins and substitutes for another symbol. Whenever it hits, it removes from one to five lives, the progressive element the studio refers to. Its role is therefore tied to the round and cannot affect the base game.
Two RTP figures
The catalogue lists 96.5%, which is a house edge of 3.5% and a cost of about $35 per $1,000 wagered. The official rules document gives a theoretical RTP of 94.5% instead. At 94.5% the edge would be larger, and the same stake would cost more over time. We report both because the sources disagree and we cannot tell which of the two the game uses.
Using the catalogue figure, a 100-spin session costs $0.70 on average at $0.20, $3.50 at $1 and $17.50 at $5.
Volatility and the missing cap
Our catalogue gives no volatility and no max win for this game. The studio's text calls it highly volatile and speaks of colossal winnings, but offers no figure for them. Taken together, that means the swings are said to be large while the ceiling is unknown, so it is not possible to say how a bankroll is likely to behave.
Megaways peers
Christmas Carol Megaways, also from 2020, lists 96.5% and a 20,000x max win. The Dog House Megaways shows 96.55%. From 2021, 5 Lions Megaways and Chilli Heat Megaways list 96.5%, Buffalo King Megaways 96.52% and Power of Thor Megaways 96.55%, each with a 5,000x cap.
Pros
- Free spins from 8 up to 15, scaled by the Bonus symbol count
- Bonus symbols can appear on every reel at any size
- A free spins round with a progressive feature and an Attacking Werewolf
- Free official demo available
Cons
- RTP is given as 96.5% in the catalogue but 94.5% in the official rules document
- No max win or catalogue volatility; only the studio calls it highly volatile
- The wild cannot appear on reel 1
Verdict
Curse of the Werewolf Megaways is a Megaways horror slot with one central bonus and clear award tiers: 8, 10, 12 or 15 free spins. The RTP is 96.5% in our catalogue and 94.5% in the studio's rules document, so check the in-game info if the figure matters. The studio calls it highly volatile and gives no cap. The free demo is a safer place than a real stake to see what the werewolf does.
