Fish & Chips Games, the UK-facing slot studio celebrated for its unmistakably British sensibility, has launched its second title, Wolf of London, a Victorian Gothic werewolf slot with serious bite.
The release marks a deliberate tonal shift from the studio’s debut effort, Bus Stop Bonanza, which found its comedy in a rain-soaked bus shelter rather than the gaslit fog of Victorian London.
Wolf of London drops players onto fog-bound streets after dusk, where lantern light flickers and something unseen waits just beyond the window, setting a distinctly darker mood than anything the studio has attempted before.
The game opens on a 5×4 reel set carrying 1,024 paylines, giving players a solid mechanical foundation before the slot begins expanding into something far more atmospheric.
Every Rising Moon symbol that lands stretches the grid a row deeper, with up to three triggering simultaneously, pushing the reel set all the way to a full 5×7 configuration.
Collectible Crystals, the engine driving the game’s primary feature, land exclusively on those newly unlocked rows, meaning players must earn their way deeper into the fog before the rewards reveal themselves.
Wolf of London ships with an RTP of 94%, a hit frequency of 20.3%, medium-high volatility, and a maximum win of 3,095x bet, with a default top prize of 386,875 euros sitting in the shadows.
The marketing team at Fish & Chips Games spoke plainly about the creative direction, saying: “Our first game was a bus stop in the rain. This one is a fog-bound street and something on the other side of the door. Both are British, they are just different halves of it. The reels grow because we wanted players to go and find the thing, rather than be handed it on spin one.”
Phill Taylor, Head of Region Europe at Yggdrasil, offered his own assessment of the release, stating: “With autumn and Halloween on the horizon, Fish & Chips unleash Wolf of London: a Victorian Gothic hunt for a vast audience. Its crystal collection mechanic saves player progression across sessions, a genuine retention driver that feels natural, while expanding reels keep every spin feeling like a step deeper into the dark.”
The session-saving crystal mechanic Taylor highlighted is a notable design choice, carrying progression between plays rather than resetting with every new session, adding a layer of long-term engagement rarely found in standard slot releases.
Fish & Chips Games continues to carve out a recognisable identity in a crowded market, balancing quintessentially British themes with mechanics that reward patience and exploration over instant gratification.
With Halloween approaching and appetite for dark-themed slots traditionally peaking in autumn, the timing of Wolf of London positions the studio well for one of the industry’s most competitive seasonal windows.
