Polar Bonanza (Northern Lights) 

This slot was released on 2 December 2024, and it pays tribute to our fluffy friends in the North Pole; polar bears. In this Polar Bonanza an expanding polar bear symbol will trigger the bonus round; as well as other North Pole-specific features. Symbols found in the base game are: penguins, owls, snow leopards and walruses. You will also see a ‘W’ symbol which represents the wild symbol.

A piggy bank symbol will collect line wins, other line win symbols are card symbols: Q, J, K and A. Within this game there are several bonus rounds that can be hit. Three ‘bonus’ symbols will trigger the free spins bonus, which will give you up to eight free spins.

You can also find the polar mania bonus, where giant polar bears will appear on the grid and getting one of them to expand across three reels will trigger the polar mania bonus round. Within this bonus, you will get three free spins with only polar bears and wild symbols landing inside of the reels, making for a potentially lucrative win if triggered. Additionally, when in the game, random wilds will also stick and increase wins up to 5x throughout.

Another way to up your wins, in both the base game and bonus game, is the +1 polar coin feature. This feature will be added to the multiplier to increase your cash wins. This polar coin can multiply by up to 10x.

Finally, the last feature is the pot bonus. The pot bonus will require you to land a ‘seal’ symbol on reels one and five, during the same spin. Once you have landed both seal symbols you will be awarded a fixed jackpot prize of 20x, 50x, 500x or 5,000x. This feature can also be triggered in both the base and bonus games.
