Would you like to try win some cash?

After the heat and excitement of the Wild Gambler slot game from Ash Gaming, now comes the sequel but you’ll need a coat this time. Rather than being set in Africa with lions and zebras, the follow-up game is set in Antarctica. Wild Gambler – Arctic Adventure is a worthy sequel and you can certainly win some great cash prizes.

This is a five reel and 20 payline game. Those 20 paylines are fixed but there are still some important monetary decisions to be made. The cost of playing the game runs from £0.20 to £40. Simply go for a stake that fits your budget perfectly and won’t ruin your enjoyment of the game if your bet goes down. There is another decision to make and all will be revealed shortly. The symbols in this game fit the theme with walruses, penguin, moose and arctic foxes. There’s also the ten to ace playing cards which have at least been given a frozen look. There is some animation involved in the symbols and when you really land a big win, the game loves showing you that. The background goes dark and Big Win flashes up with gold coins falling down the reels. The amount you’ve won keeps on climbing and you’ll hope it goes all the way up to a Super Big Win. The wild symbol in this game is the polar bear, forget the cuddly toys because this one really is wild. It can substitute for all other symbols except for the scatters and help create winning combinations. There’s also a scatter symbol which is the silver coin. As you’ll read there are some special features in this game that take a bit of getting used to. Playing some free games is definitely recommended and make sure you have a thorough look through the paytable.

Just like in ‘Wild Gambler’ there’s a Lock and Spin feature that really changes the way you play this game. When you get a wild appear on screen then you have the option to lock it in place for the next spin. However to do this you need to pay an extra amount and the exact cost is revealed to you and it’s your choice whether you accept or not. If you do then the polar bear suddenly finds itself frozen inside a block of ice. If a wild lands underneath the locked wild then that’s good news because the multiplier for that locked wild is increased by one and can get as high as x5. There’s also the Play Your Way feature. This can also turn any symbol into a locked wild and increase the multiplier but again it’s going to cost you if you want to use this.

The scatter symbol in this game is the silver coin. If you can get three or more of these anywhere on the reels then this triggers the free spins round. Just how many of the silver coins appears determines how many free spins you receive. Three get you seven free spins, four gives you 12 and five ensures you have 20 free spins and that can really bring in some good wins. That’s even more likely as all wilds are frozen during the free spins and any new ones that appear will also become frozen.

This is another innovative slot game from Ash Gaming. The ability to lock wilds and also play your way increases the strategic part of this game but also the cost of playing it. There are some big wis to be earned here and it’s fun to try doing just that.
