Arctic Queen Slots
Arctic Queen is a nature and animal themed online video slot game created and launched by well known software developers WGS Technology in 2011 so it is old enough to be a classic. If you are looking for an exciting gaming experience with some healthy win potential and plenty of surprises particularly during the free spins then you need look no further.
The gaming grid brings together 5 reels with 3 rows and 25 paylines in order make wins. Players will need three and up to five matching symbols in consecutive order on a winning payline for prizes which pay out from left to right apart from the scatter which can pay anywhere in the game.
A harsh and frozen landscape under a twinkling night sky forms the backdrop to the reels with the crisp graphics and artwork kept on the simple side as is the soundtrack.
A variety of betting options enable punters to make their wagers which start from a minimum of $0.25 per spin and upwards to a maximum of $250.00 per spin which provides plentiful and appealing choices for both casual players and high rollers.
The optional and useful Autoplay button enables spins to be pre automated up to 1,000 before hand which can aid those who are conscious of maintaining a particular gaming budget. Likewise, it is a handy tool for those who dislike manual play and prefer more fluidity along their gameplay.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage is 92.53% and this game plays with high volatility. Whilst this brings appeal to high rollers it may be more of a challenge to less experienced players who can expect some winless streaks between payouts so patience and care will need to be exercised.
Gameplay is made simple and intuitive. The special symbols in the game are the wild which is shown as the Arctic Queen herself and who appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and the free games scatter is represented by the iconic Northern Lights. This scatter carries its own payouts of 100x for a winning combination of five on the reels. Any wins made with the Arctic Queen pays double for punters and it also substitutes for all the other gaming symbols with the exception of the scatter to make more favourable winning combinations.
The other regular gaming icons are all taken from the frozen tundra of the north and include a huskie dog, a seal, an igloo, a pair of mukluks and the royal playing cards 9 through to Ace. The huskie provides the top payouts of 5,000x for a set of five, the seal pays 3,000x for five, the igloo 500x for five and the playing cards pay out between 300x. 200x and 150x for a combination of five.
The free spins feature begins when players land three scatters on the reels and where 8 free spins are awarded and these can be retriggered whenever two or more scatters appear. As a nice addition, all wins have a multiplier of 3x applied to them so all wins are tripled during this feature.
Arctic Queen slot game is fully streamlined and optimized. This means it can be played seamlessly from either a desktop or across tablets and mobile smartphones such as iOS Apple, Android and Samsung.
