Let’s take a trip back to the early 2000s for a moment and remind ourselves how much fun Yeti Olympics was; for the uninitiated it was an endlessly entertaining multi-sport event in which a Yeti would bash a penguin about in an effort to win the competition. While Rabcat’s Penguin Splash isn’t quite like that the graphics are certainly reminiscent and it’s almost as entertaining.
Penguin Splash is a five reel online slot with twenty five paylines and the snow-framed reels sit just above a hole in the ice through which the penguins dive. Five cavorting penguins stand on the ice to the left of the reels, just waiting for their chance to help out when the free spins start.
A whale. a walrus, a seal and a polar bear make up the main symbols with 10, J, Q and K as the lower value ones.
Special symbols include a fish wild and a penguin scatter which activates the main feature.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
Up to twenty five free spins are on offer here and to get things started you will need to land three of more of the penguin symbols anywhere on the reels.
This is where the penguins on the ice get involved – a random number will jump off into the water and leap towards the reels, high-fiving a penguin on the reels. Each dive and high-five is worth five spins so all five penguins diving would equal twenty five spins.
More spins are available by landing more penguins during this round and, as you can see from the video above, more diving and high-riving takes place to determine the extra number of spins. All wins are paid at 2x the base game value.
Gamble Feature
If you’d like to gamble your most recent win just click the ‘Gamble’ button below the reels. Now just try and predict whether the next card drawn is red or black to double your money. There’s a limit of five correct guesses but a wrong guess will lose you everything.
Penguin Splash Online Slot Playing Tips
The feature is triggered by scatter symbols which means they don’t need to land on an active payline. Low rollers can therefore play with just one payline for the same chance of activating the bonus but lower payouts of course.
Verdict
This is not the most compelling slot we’ve ever played but it’s good fun, especially if you wasted your time playing Yeti Olympics a decade ago. The feature is pretty easy to trigger so it’s a game for those who like the extras.
