Slot Review: Polar Pioneers

Personally, we’re getting to be fed up with winter already! With March – and the promise of spring – just around the corner, we’re ready to throw out our mittens and snow boots and fill our closets with sandals and short-sleeved fashions. It’s not quite time, however – the darned weather just won’t cooperate! Polar Pioneers is certainly a game appropriate for the doldrums of winter, reminding us that, while the weather outside is frightful, it still beats the heck out of foraging in the Arctic wilderness! Offering a fat jackpot, smooth gameplay, and great graphics, we think that you will really like this online slot game!

Polar Pioneers is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot from Microgaming. This is no slot game for sissies: coin values start high at one dollar, and range all the way up to twenty bucks. You can bet up to five hundred coins, or twenty coins per payline. If you are doing the math in your head, be prepared for your jaw to hit the floor – you can bet as much as ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS per spin on this game, a sum that is just extraordinary by any industry standards. The extravagance of such a wager is justified by the top jackpot of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. This kind of wealth is just amazing to us!

The theme of Arctic exploration is strongly supported in this slot game. The reels are set in a background of icy glaciers and snow, and the reels are filled with such icons as an icebreaker ship, a golden watch, and thick-soled snow boots. Letters and numbers encased in ice are also present. There are wilds and scatters, as well as a second chance re-spin feature and a gamble option that gives you the chance to further increase your booty!
