Thunderkick might like an outlandish theme but they certainly know how to create a good-looking slot game. Yeti: Battle of Greenhat Peak contains the glossy imagery we’ve become accustomed to - set against snow-filled, Alpine backdrop the reels include A to J royal values alongside cherries, lemons and melons. The best standard symbol is the yeti. Land 5 of these on a payline and you’ll pocket an award equal to 35 times your total stake.
The moustachioed man sporting a rather fine pair of green lederhosen is the game’s wild - he can land on all 5 reels and replaces all symbols apart from the scatter (the giant carrot!). The main action on offer on Yeti comes via the pair of feature rounds:
- Wild Attack feature - land 2 giant carrot bonus symbols on the same spin to trigger this respin round. Up to 3 sticky wilds are added here. You can also activate the main Bonus Game feature from here with 10 free spins.
- Bonus Game feature - 10, 15 or 20 free spins are on offer if you land 3, 4 or 5 carrot scatters on the same spin. Land a carrot bonus symbol here and it is collected in a meter. For every third carrot collected, an extra 2 free spins are added to your tally.
A sticky wild is also added to the reels. If you manage to fill the whole meter, an extra 5 free spins are awarded instead of the usual 2. Up to 31 free spins can be won here with up to 3 extra random sticky wilds. The standard wilds remain locked in position until they form part of a winning combination.
There’s always a danger such unusual themes can become a bit too wacky. Thunderkick keeps things on the right side of zany. The superb design helps, as of course do the features which offer plenty of action. This isn’t a particularly volatile slot game as it offers maximum wins of 845 times your stake on each spin – however, you’ll get plenty of play for your investment.
Thunderkick is one of the most innovative developers around and Yeti: Battle of Greenhat Peak is another entertaining, off the wall game. If you’re tired of pirates, China and ancient Egypt, then this should provide a welcome diversion. I also suggest you take a look at Wild Heist at Peacock Manor as you can win nearly 8,500 times your stake on every free spin!
