Introduction

Based in Brighton, 1x2 Gaming is part of the 1x2 Network, a UK developer of various casino games that are available on many international gaming sites. 1x2 has been in business since 2002 and in that time has established a major presence, with 1x2 Gaming free play slots of all kinds very widely available. In Arctic Fruits they have transplanted the traditional fruit machine format into a polar landscape which might remind players of IGT’s Icy Wilds slot, but the arctic setting is really where any similarity ends. The 1x2 game is one of many free play slots that deliver very simple conventional game play with a contemporary twist.

Arctic Fruits has a five-reel, three-column grid with 20 paylines. The minimum bet per line is 0.20 and the maximum is 50. There are eight regular symbols: Lucky 7, Watermelon, Grapes, Strawberry, Plum, Orange, Lemon and Cherries. The wild is a large ice-bound W.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

The visuals are very simple. We appear to be looking out from an ice cave at a frozen landscape dotted with bare branches. Icicle clusters hang down and snow gently falls on to the scene. The reels are very plain, the sound effects crisp and the removal of the winning symbols accomplished by instantly freezing them in blocks of ice and then shattering before new symbols fall into place. That’s about it. The soundtrack is a slightly overblown orchestral piece that would suit a rather more dramatic visualisation, but you can always mute it.

Arctic Fruits RTP and Variance

How to Play Arctic Fruits

  1. Click the coins icon to open the bet menu. Use the inner plus and minus buttons to move up and down across the range of bet options or the outer plus and minus buttons to select the minimum and maximum. 
  2. Click the Autoplay button to the right of the coins icon in order to open the auto play menu. Select 5, 10, 20, 50 or 99 spins. You can also set a loss limit, a return limit and a single return limit. You can set auto play mode to stop whenever a feature is triggered and on any kind of win.
  3. Click the nine-dot menu and then click the cog icon to open settings for various options. This is where you can turn on Quickspin mode.
  4. Click the Play button on the far right or press the space bar to start playing at the current total bet value. 
  5. You can press the Start button again (it now features a ‘stop’ square) to halt the reels at any time during the spin.
  6. The balance meter at the bottom left of the screen will show your current balance.
  7. Only the highest win on any line is paid.
  8. Whenever a winning line pays out, the symbols are removed and new symbols will descend from above to fill the vacancies. All removed symbols are replaced with random symbols. If the new symbols also form a win, they too will pay out and more symbols will in turn replace them. This will continue until no more wins can be formed.
  9. Wilds substitute for all regular symbol and can appear on any reel. 
  10. The win multiplier increases with each new cascade until it reaches the maximum. It remains at the maximum level for any following cascades until there are no more winning combinations. The multiplier values are x1, x2, x3 and x5.

Arctic Fruits Review: Our Verdict

As soon as the game loads you realise that this is a very straightforward fruit-themed slot. There are no surprises and no new ideas. Without free spins or gamble feature or any kind of bonus game, much of your interest rides on the steady build-up of multipliers, but this isn’t really sufficient to make up for a general lack of excitement. Passes the time.

FAQs

What does RTP actually mean?

RTP denotes Return to Player. This represents the average percentage you might receive in winnings over an average game session.

What does variance mean?

Variance or volatility is an indicator of the frequency and the size of pay-outs. If a game is classified as having high variance, the pay-outs will be large but infrequent, while low-variance games pay smaller amounts but more often.

Are the spin results genuinely random?

Yes. All the spins in the game are governed by random number generation algorithms. This means it is not possible to exert any influence over the results, and there is no connection between one spin and the next. All spins are totally random, and therefore the game is one of pure chance.
