We encounter animal-themed online slots with a pleasing regularity and it’s always a good day when another one pops up for review. This one is called Polar Riches, it’s from Amaya Gaming and it’s all about those creatures which live in Arctic conditions. Not only that, they like living there and this particular bunch sport a range of expensive jewellery.

Polar Riches plays out over five reels and twenty paylines and those snow-covered reels are set against a backdrop of a clear sky at night in which sparkling stars look out over the landscape.

The low value symbols are 10, J, Q, K and A but all draped with a carpet of snow; the more valuable symbols are a penguin, a walrus, a polar bear and a shark. All the animals are accessorised with an item of expensive jewellery – the shark is notable for a big gold tooth.

The scatter symbol displays the Northern Lights, the grinning polar bear is wild and there’s a fishing hole in the ice which is a bonus symbol.

Free Spins

That hole in the ice bonus symbol is also a scatter symbol and if you can land three or more anywhere on the reels you will trigger this feature. To determine the number of spins awarded you will first need to pick one of the fishing rods and then to determine the multiplier for the round you will need to repeat the process.

You can get between 4 and 7 spins with a multiplier between 3x and 6x and once you’ve picked, the spins will begin automatically. It’s not possible to re-trigger the feature from within the spins.

Polar Riches Online Slot Playing Tips

If you’re just trying to trigger the features, there’s no need to activate all paylines; the scatter symbol are all active even if you are only playing on one payline.

Verdict

This is quite a cheery, cute slot which may be a little dated but it’s good fun. What it lacks in creativity in makes up for in character so it’s worth a brief flutter.
