Theme of The Game
Tropical islands and winter creatures don’t really mix well, one could even consider them complete opposites, but Play n Go managed to make it work as a theme in their latest slot machine, Hotel Yeti Way. We’re getting the Yeti on holiday in this case, experiencing various water sports, ranging from surfing, to bungee jumping, or scuba diving. Going beyond the features that are offered, I appreciated the design quality as well, going from the Tiki style hut shown in the background, to the symbols present on the reels.
Speaking of symbols, the Royals are first, the ones of lower value, icons showing the 10 to A logos. Its themed symbols will show us hats, sunglasses, sunscreen bottles, and a Shark. These are often stacked symbols, so they can end up taking over entire reels. You also see the Yeti in the game, as one of the wilds.
Developer
Play n GO, the developer behind the release of Hotel Yeti Way, is the same company that has worked on slots like The Paying Piano Club, The Green Knight, Reactoonz (1 and 2), and many more. There is a lot of variety in the themes they go with, though they have their share of common stories as well (particularly Ancient Egypt themed games).
How To Play Hotel Yeti Way Slot
It’s going to be a bigger game area that you play with, but the bets don’t have much in common with it. A betting range between $0.10 and $100 is available, for you to choose from.
Hotel Yeti Way relies on ways to win, with 4096 possibilities available on its 6×4 reels. At the same time, there is potential for more ways to win (up to 262,144), but only during free spins. Having 3 or more symbols that match, landing left to right, is needed to get paid.
Special Features
The regular wild is going to be the one used only as a substitute, forming new winning combinations together with regular symbols.
Things get more exciting once the Yeti Wild shows up, since he brings a random feature with it. You see the Yeti doing one of three activities, as a game modifier:
- Bungee Jumping will transform up to 4 reels into full wilds.
- Surfing will give you up to 8 wilds in random locations.
- Scuba Diving has respins, where you try to get Shark symbols, in order to get even more rounds. Up to 24 re-spins can trigger in total, and the Sharks are going to remain on the reels after each one. Fill the reels with Sharks, to get a 12,288x prize, even in the base game.
What you really want though, is the free spins feature. Provided that the scatters landed 3 or more times, the game gives you 8 to 20 free spins. There are versions of the free spins built around each of the three wild features, guaranteeing you that they will be triggered when the Yeti shows up.
The free spins have an additional feature, where the number of ways to win can be doubled on one or more reels. Get this to happen on all reels, to get up to 262,144 ways active.
Maximum Payouts
The potential is excellent, and Hotel Yeti Way can pay as much as 30,000x the stake during its free spins, and up to 12,288x during the base rounds. The volatility is very high, but the RTP looks fine, at 96.18%.
Summary
Overall, I enjoyed a lot of things about Hotel Yeti Way. The slot comes with enough features for you to explore, even in the base game, and the free spins are the ones that bring the real excitement.
