Polar Party - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Fun Ta Gaming whisks us away to the depths of the Antarctic in this fun slot, but relax - the jolly characters in this game will keep you in a cosy mood, even if they look a bit chilly!

The game works on a cascade or avalanche mechanism, meaning new symbols drop into the 4x4 frame from above as symbols disappear below either in a new game or as winning lines disappear.

The penguins are wild and substitute for all other symbols and trigger a bonus game when four appear consecutively on a row. In the bonus game, the penguins take up positions in the four corners of the frame and remain there for three rounds of the bonus mode. Each round comes to an end when no winning lines are formed.

The other symbols are a crab, a fish, an octopus and a shrimp, all taking part in the game as a friendly seal observes the proceedings.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

Polar Party is a fun game based on an animal theme. It is set in the Antarctic - we know this as the wilds are jolly penguins, which only inhabit the south pole. They are joined by a seal, who watches on as the game progresses and shows off his juggling skills in the bonus game. The other creatures taking part are a crab, a fish, an octopus and a shrimp.

All the characters are frozen in ice as they fall onto the reels; however, once a winning line is hit, they break free and are released into the sea below. Our friendly seal, who is perched to the left of the reels, gives the player a round of applause.

The reels in the base game are set on an ice flow offshore, framed by columns of ice shards. In the background, we are treated to a great view of the edge of the icecap.

Once in the bonus game, we move to a similar scene at night-time, with the southern lights - or aurora australis - in full flow. The seal moves to the right and balances a ball on his nose while he checks out the game.

The soundtrack could have come from a Disney movie, perfectly capturing the mood as our cartoon characters tumble onto the frame or dive into the sea.

Our verdict

This a fun game and a great design from Fun Ta Gaming, as we would expect from this designer.
Easy to understand and simple to play, Polar Party will attract fans of slots with an avalanche feature. The simple 4x4 set-up means that the game is simple to follow; what’s more, you are sure to become attached to the characters, who are frozen in blocks of ice until you release them back into the sea when you hit a winning combination.

We found that once in the bonus game, we could rack up the winnings courtesy of the fixed wilds and the high variance of the game coming into play.

Give Polar Party a try and we guarantee you will be frozen to the screen!
