The International Game Technology, or IGT, software studio is the developer and producer of Coyote Moon, a Video Slot with 5 reels and up to 40 paylines. The game is non-progressive, and the Top Jackpot in the base game is 1000x the total stake.
The theoretical RTP is 92.5 to 94.97%, and the betting range of 0.01 to 40 per spin should suit the budget of almost every player. It is, however, also possible to spin the reels for free if you feel like just relaxing, or you want to practice a little more and get comfortable with the game before placing any real wagers much like Australian bookmakers that offer demo mode to their punters. On the days when you are really busy, you can also activate the AutoPlay feature to keep the game going as you carry on with other things. You don’t need to miss out on any potential wins.
Coyote Moon Look and Feel
The game is based on ancient desert cultures of the southern United States, and this is carried through wherever possible. The reels are set against a backdrop of a night sky, with a full moon in the top right-hand corner. The reels themselves resemble the canvas used in the traditional tents of desert-dwelling people, and are decorated with subtle ethnic designs.
The expertly-done regular higher-value symbols include a lizard, the bleached skull of an animal, a deer and a hummingbird. Lower-value symbols are the standard playing cards, in a simple font that blends very well with the rest of the game. Traditional Slot machine sound effects and the sound of reels turning make the game feel more authentic. Animations punctuate every win, and the howling wolf sound effects in the background will immerse you even more.
Coyote Moon Bonus Features
The Wild Symbol is, fittingly, a coyote howling at a huge full moon. This image can stand in for any regular icon to complete paying combinations, which opens up a lot more winning possibilities. The Wild Symbols also often appear stacked, to help you win even more.
The only symbol that the Wild cannot replace is the Scatter Symbol, which takes the form of a hand-drawn red figure that is reminiscent of indigenous art. These icons don’t have to be consecutively lined up along an activated payline to win; as long as 1 are seen in any position on each of the Reels 2, 3 and 4, the Rising Moon Bonus Round will be activated.
The Rising Moon Round involves a set of 5 free spins, and immediately multiplies a player’s total bet by 2. Stacked Wild Symbols are also more common in this round than the base game. During the Rising Moon game, the red Scatter Symbol figure becomes green while all other icons take on a purple colour. This adds to the feeling of traditional magic and mysticism that the game evokes. If you manage to spin 3 of the green Scatter Symbols, the Bonus Round will be triggered again. This can continue indefinitely, and can make the Coyote Moon Video Slot game extremely rewarding for players.
