I would say this is a very high variance slot altrough it is listed as medium. and i belive most of the RTP goes to the freespin bonus where you can get 100spins with 10X
i tryed in fun mode and got bonus after 500 spins (300down) with 1bet and 18 in return.
game play : IMO the game play is too boring for me and the zoom when you have 4OK is annoying after few times. its one of the game where you play just to hit the bonus and nothing else.. but im sure many people will love it.

Total agree with this!I would say this is a very high variance slot altrough it is listed as medium. and i belive most of the RTP goes to the freespin bonus where you can get 100spins with 10X

I've done pretty well as for as x bet goes. But I'm digging the subtle features of the game, like clicking the guy face which triggers someone throwing a snowball at him or clicking the sub which shoots it across the screen etc etc.

But, I did give it another shot and at 60c got the feature and won 100 free spins at 10x the bet. Ended up with over $190 in wins from that. So, it was better that time.
I got my first taste of this slot tonight in a tournament. $2500 start. $15.00 per spin.
Bonus feature showed up when I had about 500 bucks left. It paid 700 and then I spun the 1200 to zero without a second bonus feature.
390 spins in total. 57% RTP.
I was out of the tournament in about 30 minutes auto-spinning.
Not a very good first impression.
Who knows? Maybe it'll be better next time.
You should be so lucky you actually got a bonus. $2500 start balance - had a $1200 line hit and 356 spins later no bonus and zero out. They call this medium variance? Tuts don't even go that many spins without hitting a bonus and that's as high variance as they come.
From a review perspective - It plays too much like StarStruck and I hate how it slows down the reels if a 5 of a kind of the lower paying symbols is approaching. I find it exciting for the premium symbols but a waste of time on the 10s and Js etc.
Maybe its just me but the reels blend in with the background too much and I find it hard to distinguish between the different reel symbols because of this.
The bonus is fun and has nice potential with up to 100 spins and 10x multiplier (if you can get the bonus that is) If the bonus can go in such cold streaks where you can go hundreds of spins without hitting one that isn't going to appease players except for a select few that will hit big. The rest will go broke fast.
Seems to be the norm for me.
3rd try, again in tournament.
2k start $15 spins. 1 bonus round - 11 spins that all hit zero.
209 spins in total. 36% RTP.
That's 3 tournaments, $5500 in total and still around 50% RTP. lol
Maybe next time I'll hit something huge and bring it up but that doesn't sound very medium variance.

First, congrats on your win.
That said, that's NOT good.
$0.60 x 100 spins x 10 multiplier = $600 worth of spins
$190 = 31% RTP during those 100 spins.
Yeah well, let me have my moment! I am like the previous poster............. that's the math..... I know it averages low over all, but, it was still fun, and I had about $11 in my account before I got that, so, to me it's a win.
Way to Go !! Keep it fun. If I brought my calculator with me on every spin, I would have no need for my Naked Roof Dancing get rid of the evil gambling spirits ritual !! Enjoy your moment

Actually that IS good. Although your math is likely on point, the logic in the post is not. Free is free.
She's got 100 spins at $6.00 each and won $190. It shouldn't matter if it's "free" or not. 100 spins at 10x is the holy grail of this slot and seems to be the only way to win something decent. You make it sounds like I'm being greedy but I'm only looking at the math.
It's good for her, I'm happy for her and "something is better than nothing", sure, but in the grand scheme of things it's not good at all.
I dont know about you guys but i dont see the free spins as "free" i invest my money either to lose it or gain more. if its free i would get it without i invest a cent wich is not the case.

Hi Guys,
Perhaps some numbers that will help everyone enjoy this game the way it was intended- first off on the medium variance quotation - the
variance of arctic is very close to that of fortune falls. (slightly over half that of tut). The big difference with fortune falls however is the
feature frequency. For arctic that is 1 in 145 spins on average which is accounting for the perception of higher variance. (fortune falls has
a much higher feature frequency).
1 in 145 spins means that you need bankroll for enough spins to start with - to give you some feel for what a 1 in 145 average means :
- when something hits 1 in 145 in average, the odds of hitting it in 100 spins are 1-((144/145)^100) ~= 50%
- the odds of hitting feature in 145 spins ~= 64%
- the odds of hitting feature in 200 spins ~= 75%
- odds of hitting in 500 spins ~= 97%
This type of feature frequency is typically associated with higher variance slots, which is most likely what is causing some of the responses
above. In arctic however variance is lowered with more wins in the front and a feature that has a flatter average result. (reaching the
queen has an odd between 1/39 and 1/6 depending on how many scatters you hit. - much more than the odds to reach maxpay in FF)
In conclusion, when playing this game make sure you've got enough initial spins to start it from and keep your fingers crossed
Cheers,
Enzo

It's not fair to apply that math to free spins. If that was the case most free spins at any casino would yield low RTPs. $190.00 on a $0.60 cent bet is good any day of the week provided you didn't have to blow through $600.00 to get the $190.00.



Well, I don't suppose I could have a large dollop of ketchup and a side order of fries with my words when I eat then, can I?
Having blown my entire balance of nearly $200 on this slot yesterday, only getting the free-spins twice (paying bet x0.5 & bet x 3.5) in about 600 rounds, I raided $50 from my "rainy day funds" to have one last go...
Today it was like a different animal! Got free-spins loads of times and bank slowly built up...
Raised my bets from 40c to 80c to $1.20 when it seemed to be dying...
But then I got the feature and made it to the top!
Half-way through my 100 spins I hit 5 Eskimo in a canoe, including a wild for a mega-win - and the last spin gave me 5 Penguins.
Total = bet x 1,559.5 = my best win ever by MILES!![]()

Your RTP is set at that stake skiny.
You know otherwise we wouldn't be able to read about your lousy sessions on the tournaments three times a day, and I'm always looking forward to it![]()
