Polar Pioneers

Polar Pioneers is a video slot from Microgaming that will literally send chills down your spine. One look at the graphics and imagining the adventures that inspired the game will take you to an era when intrepid explorers braved the elements to conquer the Arctic. All the symbols faithfully recall these days, with the olde worlde equipment well reproduced. This is a solid and good looking slot.

Polar Pioneers Slot has a standard configuration of 5 reels with 25 paylines, and you can choose a coin size to bet per line from between 1c to 10c. This means that it can be really inexpensive to play this game - and if you want to make it a richer experience, simply increase the number of coins that you bet per line (you can go up to 20 coins per line that will total a maximum bet of $50 per spin). The top payout at this setting is a handsome $30,000, and you get a Wild symbol to help you win - this is the Explorer symbol. There's also a Gamble feature where you pick a color and a suit for a hidden playing card, which will double or quadruple your payout, respectively, if you guess correctly.

Another extra feature that this game has is the re-spin feature. This is triggered when you get one or more of the Scatter symbols on an active payline. The scatter is the Huskies symbol. As soon as you hit one, that reel is held, while the others re-spin once, effectively giving you an extra spin for free, with a higher chance of hitting a winning combination. There is also a proper Free Spins feature, which you access if you get 3 or more of scattered Huskies. All wins during free spins are doubled, making for a top payout of $60,000.

There's always something special about playing a new MGS game - and this one, while nothing particularly flashy, certainly doesn't disappoint in any way.
