Arctic Wonders

Get dressed because we are taking you to a cold place! If you are sensitive to the cold, you might not like it as much. Arctic Wonders is a video slot designed by Habanero Systems with the idea of treasure hunting below the freezing point. Let’s analyze this game and see whether putting on your glows pays off.

Theme

Set in the North Pole, this game is best to play from a warm house and a cozy bed! With snowflakes and blueness in the background, make sure to put your warmest clothes on before you start spinning the reels.

Speaking of which, the reels are clearly marked and divided by ice blocks. The symbols are placed against the icy surface and everything about this game screams cold. The included symbols are gloves, the map, glasses, pickaxe, a frozen fish, an igloo, an eager Eskimo and wildlife including seals, wolves, penguins and polar bears.

Although icons are slightly cartoonish, they are pleasant to look at. The sounds are neutral and they are only heard when you spin the wheels.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Arctic Wonders has 3 rows and 5 reels with 25 partly adjustable pay-line. In other words, you can set it to 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 3 and 1. You must be anxious to press “Play” but before you do that it is important to set your wagering. Under the reels on the right side, you will spot “Coin” and “Bet Level”. The first one ranges from 0.01 to 20, while the second one can be set up between 1 and 10.

Other useful functions are “Bet Max” and “Auto-play” that can be regulated up to 500 games! It is a great feature in case you want to take a break.

Features

Although this game appears to be slightly childish, you will not think so when you hear about the features! This release integrates:

• Northern Lights 
• Polar bear Free Game Feature 
• Penguin Free Game Feature

The northern lights symbol substitutes every other icon but for polar bears and penguins. It will expand over the entire reel for a magical sight!

To unlock the polar bear feature, three or more polar bear symbols need to land anywhere on the reels. The players receive 5 free games with the northern lights icon covering the fifth reel during the first spin and moving to the left with every other spin. All prizes are doubled!

When three or more penguins show up on the reels, the penguin free game feature is triggered. During this extra round, they players will have 8 free spins with all of the wins quadrupled! It is possible to retrigger this bonus, but polar bear icons are excluded during in this feature.

Last but not least, there is always a chance for a progressive jackpot. It is awarded randomly and it can appear at the conclusion of any game.
