How Wild Gambler Arctic Adventure plays
Arctic animals share the reels with card symbols that look as if they were carved from ice, and the cards make up the lower pays. Wins form along 20 paylines on a grid of 5 reels and 3 rows. At the top of the paytable sits the polar bear: five of them on a payline give the largest line prize, which is listed in the key facts table.
The bear has a second job as the wild. It stands in for every other symbol except one, the Free Spins coin, which is the game’s scatter. Three, four or five coins open the bonus round, and the more of them land, the longer that round is. For how sticky wilds compare with other kinds, see our guide to wild symbols.
Free spins: wilds that lock in place
Three, four or five Free Spins coins award 7, 12 or 20 free spins. Once the round begins, every polar bear that lands during the free spins locks into position and stays on the reels until the round is over. As a worked example, four coins give 12 spins, and a wild that locks on the first of them stays where it is for the 11 spins that follow.
Locked wilds and the 5x multiplier
A locked wild can grow in value. Each time another wild lands in the position where a locked wild sits, the locked wild’s multiplier rises by 1x, and it keeps climbing until it reaches 5x, the most any one locked wild can carry. That multiplier applies to the line wins the wild helps to form. As a worked example, a locked wild already at 5x stays at 5x, however many more wilds land on it.
Similar games you can play at Fortune Games
Wilds that stay put drive the Wild Gambler Arctic Adventure bonus, and Ice Cave works with a related idea: its Ice Wilds freeze in place and remain on the reels until a Hammer Wild lands and clears them. Arctic Enchantress shares the frozen setting, a wintry kingdom where stacked enchantress wilds nudge up or down until they are fully in view. Wild Gambler is also among the tiles above. Fortune Games has an app on the App Store and Google Play.
Frequently asked questions
Which animals appear in Wild Gambler Arctic Adventure?
A moose, an Arctic fox, a penguin and a walrus are among the animal symbols, and the polar bear joins them as the wild. The lower-paying symbols are card symbols styled as if cut from ice. Of all these symbols, the polar bear pays the most for a line of five.
Is there a progressive jackpot in Wild Gambler Arctic Adventure?
No. The game carries no progressive jackpot in either the base game or the free spins. Its largest line prize comes from five polar bears, and during the free spins a locked wild’s multiplier, which can reach 5x, increases the line wins that wild is part of.
Do the multipliers in Wild Gambler Arctic Adventure reset during the free spins?
No. Once a wild has locked during the free spins, both the wild and any multiplier it has built up stay in place for the rest of the round. Nothing is cleared before the last free spin has been played.
