Polar Riches

What would you do if you bumped into a polar bear wearing a diamond encrusted earring? If you're anything like us you'd probably find it entertaining. This is the unique experience provided by various members of the Polar Riches cast which is combined with features such as free spins, multipliers, wilds and scatters.

Polar Riches Theme

Do you remember when cartoons went HD? It was surprising just how much brighter they were and the same can be said for this slot. These enhancements can be seen from the outset within the starry background and fifteen reel icons which appear after every spin.

The HD graphics set a chilly tone, it's almost enough to make you shiver. Thankfully the bling loving polar bear along with other icons are on hand to warm up the slots appearance and atmosphere. These include a gold toothed shark, Mr T styled walrus, a penguin wearing a Rolex watch, the Polar Bear(wearing an earring), the Northern Lights, Yetis and an arctic fishing hole. There's also a number of standard figures such as 10, J, Q, K and A graphics.

Betting Options and More Functions

The button layout is well thought out with an up and down button added to change coin values. Players are allowed to select from 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 or 0.25 coin values which are then used on up to twenty paylines. In actual fact players can hone bets by placing a maximum of ten coins on each active line which means bets between 0.01 and £/€/$50 are possible.

Automatic spins have also been included as an optional extra. Players can toggle the number of auto spins they want and let the reels spin either until the preset number expires, they stop the reels or a feature is awarded.

Polar Riches Slot Features

The smiling yeti isn't just a friendly fellow but also gives a helping hand by substituting for other icons to create and double winning combinations. This is one of three icons which animates too with a cheeky wide grin whenever his wild card creates a winning combination.

The Northern Lights,or Aurora Borealis for the science bods among you, plays as a scattered symbol which means it can award prizes when two or more appear anywhere on the reels. This handy feature pays up to 200x your bet too.

Three fishing hole bonus icons will award a pick me style game. You first choose one of six fishing holes to discover up to 7 free spins. Another screen then loads and you choose a fishing rod to reveal a multiplier which is applied to any free spin win.

Our Take on Polar Riches

The features are similar to other Chartwell slots, which puts them on par with competing brands. The brilliant graphics, or the HD nature of them at least, is the first thing that impressed us. We also enjoyed the subtle animations used on the wild, bonus and scatter icons with the smiling yeti being our favorite.
