Theme and graphics
Microgaming have once again confirmed their status as a leader in the video slot industry by releasing a stunning game with exciting gameplay. The main theme of Arctic Fortune is Vikings, and the reels are filled with treasure, maps and warriors travelling through uncharted lands. In the background, you’ll see a snow-covered clearing and the snow continuing to fall. You’ll also be accompanied on this adventure by a great soundtrack that will make you want to spin the reels again and again. Arctic Fortune is perfectly optimised: the game loads quickly and doesn’t slow down a bit, be it on desktop computers, phones or tablets. You only need a web browser to play, so there’s no need to download anything. If you’re interested in Vikings, don’t overlook this slot. It has a medium variance: you can expect frequent small payouts, but big winnings may have to wait.
Gameplay and Paylines
On the reels of Arctic Fortune you can come across three different Vikings, a treasure chest, a ship, a white wolf and a bunch of grapes lying around a cup. Payouts range from 12 to 1,500 coins. Before you can start playing, you’ll need to place a bet. In Arctic Fortune, this can be done by changing the number of coins per line and the coin value using the -/+ buttons at the bottom of the screen. The first can be between 1 and 10 and the second between 0.01 and 0.20. If you don’t want to spin manually all the time, you can use the auto play feature. It allows you to set a certain number of spins and relax by simply watching the reels spin. You can disable this feature at any time and return to manual control.
In Arctic Fortune you’ll have as many as 1024 winning lines, giving you the best chance of making winning combinations on each spin. You need to catch at least 3 symbols in one of the lines to get your payout.
Pay special attention to the blonde-haired Viking, which is the best symbol in this game. For a combination of 5 of these you can win 1500 coins.
Free spins
A roll of 3, 4 and 5 scatter symbols when the mode is activated is guaranteed to add 3, 4 and 5 freespins to the player respectively. Before the Free Spins start, a mini game with arcade shooter elements starts. A small cut-scene is shown, in which a Viking with a bow walks into a cave.
The user plays as the Viking. The task is to shoot at spiders crawling down the cave wall. Killing black spiders adds free spins, while killing red spiders adds winnings multipliers. At the end, a level boss appears, for killing which the user receives even more freespins, as well as instant winnings in coins. Then, the mini-game ends and a number of free spins are triggered, with the resulting winnings multiplier.
The maximum reward that can be obtained
The mini-game will result in 40 freespins, X6 winnings multipliers and 9000 coins. The game cannot be replayed, during free spins, on a repeat of three or more scatter symbols.
