Residing as a small community dominion with an inner military, the Cossacks have been around for over 400 years. Being a semi-autonomous mixed ethnic group (near the Dnepr River- Ukraine/Russia) valued for its combat qualities, the Tsars and Nobility often used them as guards or to fight in the war.
But, mainly for their uprising against imperialism and enslavement, acting in the name of independence, we now know them now as adventurers and rebels.
Unfortunately, with the video slot of Estonia-based Studio, you will get closer to the fantasy world of the popular series The Witcher instead of the real history. You will set your foot inside an ominous forest, where treasures are waiting to be taken but be careful of the Bears, Wolfs, and giant wild Boars.
Up to 46656 different paths can be taken in this dangerous remote woodland. The slot is built with Medium-High Volatility, sufficient hit frequency (of near 32%), an RTP of 96.19% (by default) and 10000x the total bet maximum potential.
It’s a remarkable machine in terms of graphics and design, animations and special effects, soundtrack and narrating- just full package. One delightful game. However, this is no game for low-rollers. You’ll soon see that regardless of the WonderWays and the constant Multipliers, the paytable will not yield the profits that will allow your limited balance to last long.
The game is wondrous in many ways. The very first surprise you get is the outer and inner zone. The inner-main area (4×5) has a window around it, making the total of a 6×6 layout. If you play without the boost feature (Foxify), then the window will often be filled with ‘X’ or blocker symbols – which mean and pay nothing.
Once you switch the Foxify on, the blockers will no longer appear. But, here comes ‘the but’ – switching on the Foxify comes at a price – x5 the normal stake! The paytable changes then drastically.
For example, if you play via 1 CAD without the Foxify, the top-value symbol (Roman) delivers 1.50 CAD for 6OAK. However, if you have the Foxify ‘on’ and keep on playing with 1 CAD, then with the same highest-paid combo 6OAK Roman images, you will be paid just 30 cents.
So, think carefully if you would like to have the function active. On the other hand, it improves the prospect of appearing the 2 Symbols Modifiers (in the base spins) and the likelihood of triggering the Bonus.

Bonus Features of Cossacks the Wild Hunt slot
- Rolling Reels – The cascading technic is embedded during the entire game. However, there is a slight difference from the usual collapsing way. While the symbols in the inner zone will tumble down after a win has been paid (during a cascade) in a familiar way, the symbols in the outer area are entirely replaced between the cascading waves.
- Multipliers – The Multiplier will be reinstated after the end of each cascade in the base game, while in the Free Spins will not be reset during the cascading waves – it will only go up (from there, the advertised unlimited Multiplier).
- Wilds – The capital letter ‘W’ is the wild card in the forest. It doesn’t value itself but replaces any missing icon (except Scatter) in forming a winning combo. The ‘W’ can appear only inside the inner zone.
- Foxify feature – This feature is an optional booster. It is available only in the base game. It increases the bet by 5x and removes the ‘X’ or blocker symbols. It amplifies significantly the chance to launch the 2 Modifiers and, most importantly, will bring you closer to triggering the Free Spins.
- 2 Symbols Modifiers – Available only in the base game are the 2 Modifiers: To Arms (when arrows will hit the playing field and transform random symbols creating 6OAK) and the Wilds Release (when some of the 4 main reels can be smashed by blades and on the bottom symbols can shift into Wilds).
- Free Spins – The H/U/N/T capital letters are the scatters, which appear only inside the inner zone. Landing all 4 of them and 8 Free Spins will be triggered. More Scatters in the base game will deliver +2 FS.
- The Bonus starts with x1 Multiplier, which increases with every win and will not be reset till the end of the Free Spins.
- During the FS, an Axe symbol can drop inside the inner zone. If you collect 4 Axe icons, your reward is 3 extra FS.
- Foxify feature cannot be active for the Bonus, and ‘X’ or blocker symbols appear during the entire round.
- Buy feature – For the prize of 100x/250x/400x bets, you can purchase 8 Free Spins, with starting Multiplier of 1x/10x/20x respectively, which will be launched immediately.
