Frozen Tropics

The beautiful beach froze for unknown reasons, and along with it did the 3-4-4-4-4-4 grid and the symbols. However, this won’t stop them from awarding payouts or increasing the win multiplier!

Wild Symbols – can replace any symbol in a winning combo, except for the Scatter.

Scatter Symbol – land on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game and can trigger the bonus round. The Frozen Tropics is a Scatter-paying Pragmatic slot, but it pays up to 100x for 6 on the reels only in the base game.

Tumble Feature – the tumbling mechanism appears quite frequently in Pragmatic Play free slots, and the first example that comes to mind with not only this feature active but also a similar theme is the Sweet Bonanza Xmas demo – frozen treats in a tumbling mechanism. Anyways, the Tumble feature removes all symbols (except for the Scatter) part of a winning combination and moves the remaining ones down to the bottom of the reels. The empty cells left behind are filled with new symbols gliding from above. Tumbling continues like this, win after win, until there are no more winning combos on the reels.

Frozen Symbols – this feature is part of the gameplay, so there’s no need to trigger it in a specific way – any win will do. You’ll notice the symbols in the Frozen Tropics demo land in three different levels of frozenness. Some are down-right ice blocks, while others are only partially frozen or completely dry. Frozen symbols are immune to tumbling – they won’t disappear if they’re part of a tumble but will melt down 1 level – from level 3 to level 2, and from level 2 to level 1 with each winning.

If a symbol is at level 1 (aka not frozen at all), and is part of a win, it will disappear and leave behind a +1x multiplier, which will be added to the total multiplier. This total multiplier applies to all subsequent wins in the tumbling sequence.

Wild symbols behave differently here. When they explode on reels 2 and 5, the multiplier left behind ranges from 5x to 100x. Reels 3 and 4 are not that giving, allowing a wild multiplier of 2x. The total multiplier resets back to 1x after every spin, so you need to put in the work for every spin of the reels.

Free Spins – Three or more Parrots can unlock the Free Spins, awarding 10 Free Games. The Frozen Symbols feature is active in the Free Spins, with a spicy detail: the total multiplier doesn’t get reset on every spin. It keeps growing spin after spin. More Free Spins can be added for at least 3 Scatter landed during the bonus round.

Buy Free Spins – getting straight to the Free Spins can be done from the base game by activating the Bonus buy option. This way, you can trigger the Free Spins instantly for 100x the total current bet.

Plane tickets to the Frozen Tropics start at € 0.20, with business class bets reaching up to € 240. The RTP here is a bit under 96%, sitting at 94.14% in the base game and 94.07% when the Buy Free Spins option is active. Multiple ways wins are also added to the total prize, with all wins being multiplied by the base bet. The max win here is capped at 9000x.

There’s something magical in the frozen fruit and icy waters behind the reels – as if it’s all going to be alright, even if everything’s covered in snow. The frozen green plants that made it above the snow give you the impression that this is not the way this beach should look like, but it also doesn’t look wrong. Maybe they’re all under some spell that can be lifted only by you bringing all symbols to frost level 1. We don’t mind it though; the cold never bothered us anyway.

It’s a tropical Christmas on the reels in the Frozen Tropics slot! Frozen symbols land on the 3-4-4-4-4-3 reels, waiting to melt one level down in a winning combo. Once they get to their standard, iceless form, they leave a multiplier after forming a win that’s to be added to the total multiplier. Wild symbols are the real MVPs, contributing with up to a whopping 100x value to the total multiplier! Now that’s what we call a Happy Tropical Christmas!
