Coyote Moon is a five-by-four-reel, desert-themed slot featuring 40 flexible paylines. The game was available in land-based casinos before IGT made it accessible to everyone with a computing device. IGT has made minor tweaks to the original version.
This IGT produced slot is set upon the desert plains of North America, featuring a combination of animals and birds upon the reels, the most prominent of course the Coyote in the title. The tan colouring and the patterns on some of the symbols give the slot something of a Native American feel, bringing to mind the decoration of a tepee or a wigwam – the bonus symbol showing the silhouette of a figure playing an instrument further enhancing this feel. The highlights of this IGT slot are the stacked wilds in play throughout and the free spins bonus round.
Graphically this slot has a particularly crisp feel, with each symbol neatly within a box, the boxes neatly stacked together. Aside from the playing card symbols which are somewhat basic, all of the other symbols are excellently drawn, showing both wildlife alongside plants and flowers, as well as the abandoned bones of a Buffalo. The most striking symbol of all is the title one, featuring a full moon with the silhouette of the Coyote howling into the night sky. As you might expect, you’ll also hear the howling of the coyote when playing, with other wildlife adding to the assortment of sounds.

Playing Coyote Moon
Perhaps the first thing you’ll notice when playing is that each of the five reels is four symbols high. This is somewhat unusual as a whole, but not for IGT who are renowned for mixing the format of their games up some. There are a maximum of 40 win lines in play on the reels, although you’ll have the option of reducing this number to 30, 20, 10, 5 or even play just a single line. Your other option is the line bet amount which you’ll multiply by your chosen number of lines to give you the total stake for the spin.
It’s the coyote moon title symbol that you’ll want to look out for, as this is both the wild and the top paying symbol. As the wild it will substitute for any other symbol apart from the bonus one, therefore giving many additional wins. This wild is stacked on the reels, making for a slot where you can gain wins in large clusters, especially when the wild fills an entire reel, or even more.
Should the coyote moon symbol appear five times in a row on a win line you’ll win 1,000 coins. This is by far the highest win on the reels, with the hummingbird and the deer both paying 400 coins for five. The reptile and the buffalo skull are joined by the playing card symbols from 9 to Ace on the reels. As well as the top prizes, each symbol will pay out when landing three or more consecutive symbols on a win line from left to right.
You’ll have the option of using the auto play feature. The slot will play itself for 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 spins while you sit back and enjoy the excellent visuals, only halting should the free spins round come into play.
Coyote Moon Feature Round
The red silhouette of the music playing figure is the bonus symbol in the game and appears on the centre three reels. Should this land on all three, you’ll enter the free spins round. The 5 free spins you’ll gain may seem something of a small amount, however the fact that there are extra stacked wilds during the feature more than makes up for this – it would be very surprising if you didn’t have at least one big win during this round.

Free Coyote Moon Slot Game
In many respects this is a very enjoyable game, especially when you consider the fine looking images on the reels and the accompanying sound, these alongside the stacked wilds that make such a difference to the game. However, the fact that there are no bonus features outside the reels – and no Jackpot amount to be won, makes the game a little predictable at times, lacking in the variety that additional features might bring. Nevertheless, this slot will have fans, especially those players who don’t mind waiting a little longer for those multiple wins that stacked wilds will bring.
