Slot Review: Northern Lights

The aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, are a spectacle that attract people from all over the world to visit the otherwise tourist-unfriendly Arctic Circle. Caused by the collision of charged particles in the Earth’s ionosphere congregating near one of its magnetic poles, these amazing colored lights seem like they could not possibly be a natural phenomenon… yet, they are! These beautiful miracle of nature has been captured in an online slot game by the Cryptologic software design firm.

Northern Lights is one of seven Rapid Fire slot machine games linked to a common progressive jackpot. These titles are a huge attraction, because they offer the opportunity to get lucky ON ANY SPIN, regardless of whether you land a winning combination! This progressive jackpot usually pays out several hundred dollars, and hits often! By itself, Northern Lights has a very respectable six thousand coin jackpot, or thirty thousand dollars with a max bet of nine five-dollar coins. This is a five-reel, nine-payline punter with an Arctic theme of blue and indigo.

On the reels, you will meet the people and creatures that reside in the Arctic Circle – Eskimo hunters with spears and snowsuits, the igloos in which they live, killer (orca) whales, seals, and polar bears. This game has wild and scatter symbols. Three scatter symbols (an iceberg) take you to a fun bonus game, in which you have to guide a polar bear from one ice floe to the next in order to cross the water. Keep playing until your bear falls in, and collect your cold cash!
