Graphics and Theme

The design and overall feel of Arctic Magic is crisp and clean, with well-executed graphics and symbols. The sharp detailing from the background to the symbols gives the impression of a well thought out theme from start to finish. The background for the game is a mountain-dominated landscape, blanketed in deep snow. The dark fir trees and steep gorges contrast starkly and impactfully with the ephemeral northern lights that dance in the night sky. The board is a very faint set of blue lines, which almost blend into the background to give the impression that the symbols are levitating in mid-air.  Cold blue numbers and letters represent normal symbols. Simultaneously, special symbols take the form of the various distinctive animals found in extremely cold environments. For example, there are moose, polar bears and arctic foxes. The music is a graceful melody which harmonises with the gentle surrounds.

There are two main bonuses for Arctic Magic. The first concerns the impact of the wild symbol in the game. This symbol is represented by the game’s logo of a snowy summit with the game’s name labelled on it. This symbol can replace any symbol of the game, apart from the Free Spins scatter. Landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination will give you 1.11, 22.22, 222.22 or 1,111.11 x your stake respectively. If it is involved in any win with other symbols, the base rate determines that it will at least double your stake. This is why in this game the wild is referred to as the Multiplier Wilds feature.

The other main bonus is the Free Spins feature. Players can activate this feature by landing 3, 4 or 5 of the snowflake scatters on the reels. After landing one of these combinations immediately, a pay-out sequence will follow of 2, 5, 20 or 500x your stake respectively. The free spins round then starts in earnest, with 15 free spins awarded. Every win that you achieve once within this bonus feature is subject to a 3x multiplier, meaning that free spins can be especially lucrative in this game.  The Free Spins round can also be retriggered from within the feature.  You can therefore be given a maximum of 30 free spins at any one time.
