Arctic Enchantress - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Arctic Enchantress from Neon Valley is a slot packed with features and different ways to win. This 243 ways game includes 4 jackpots, the Link&Win feature and up to 20 free spins as its main features. Additional features include the Column Boost, which progresses wins during the Link&Win feature; the Wild Nudge, a random feature during the base game that nudges the stacked wild fully into the column; and the Win Boost, an optional feature that brings you one step closer to the Link&Win feature in exchange for a 1.5x increase in bet. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Arctic Enchantress is set in a fantasy winter wonderland full of snow-covered conifers and an ice palace in the background. Snowflakes gently fall on the scene, where the reels are suspended in an icy frame and icicles hang from the jackpot displays. The symbols include a polar bear, an arctic fox and a snowy owl, together with a frosty red rose and a pine cone. The low symbols of A, K, Q and J are made of gems and edged in gold. The Enchantress herself is the Wild, which is stacked three symbols high, while the remainder of the symbols are the Link&Win ice orbs and the golden castle scatter. The soundtrack is magical but repetitive, but the animations, especially the Link&Win animations, are beautiful.

Arctic Enchantress Bonus Features

Free Spins

Land 3 or more free spins scatters to activate the free spins feature. 

3x scatters = 10 free spins
4x scatters = 15 free spins
5x scatters = 20 free spins

During the free spins, all wilds will nudge to cover entire columns. Free spins can be retriggered at any time during the feature.

Link&Win

Landing 6 or more Link&Win ice orbs in any one spin will fill the Link&Win meter and trigger the feature. If the Win Boost is active, landing 5 or more ice orbs will trigger the feature. All ice orbs carry a cash prize or a jackpot prize. At the start of the Link&Win feature, the ice orbs are frozen into place, with 3 free spins granted. If more ice orbs appear during the 3 free spins, additional free spins are added. 

If a full column of ice orbs is frozen, the Column boost is activated, with the cash prizes on the orbs in complete columns increasing with each spin. 

The Link&Win feature ends when all free spins have been used with no extra ice orbs. All cash prizes, including any jackpots are then added up and won. 

If all 15 positions on the reels are filled with ice orbs before the free spins are exhausted, the Mega jackpot will be won. 

Link&Win can be triggered during the free spins round. 

Arctic Enchantress Review

Arctic Enchantress is a highly volatile slot that has a variety of features. During our test run, we triggered both a Link&Win and a free spins bonus on separate occasions. The win boost feature didn't feel worth using for just one extra orb per spin, and it's easy to forget it's activated, meaning you may be betting more than you realise. The random wild nudges on the base game are very rare but they become instrumental during the free spins round for increasing the chances to win. Overall, we found Arctic Enchantress an entertaining slot, but if the high variance is off-putting, Greentube's Arctic Empress slot has a similar theme with a range of features but with a medium volatility. Alternatively, take a look at some more Neon Valley free online slots or some of the other free play slots available to play.
