Nowadays slot games are themed after every theme imaginable. You'll have ones after super hero characters, movies, games, days we all like to celebrate and what not. Not all that often you see a game themed after the arctic region of earth though. Polar Pioneers is based on this exact theme and emphasizes the journey through coldest region known to human kind.
The game is developed by industry leaders in their field, Microgaming, and was launched quite a while ago – in 2009. Having that said, it still easily lives up to the desires of today's players field, including ones with highest standards and desires in mind.
This slot is also quite packed with features. Among the common ones like free spins, a wild ''substituting'' symbol, you'll also get a custom developed bonus game that will take you on a challenge through the coldest region known. The maximum win is more impressive in coins than cash, but $30,000 is also plenty to get excited for, at least for the majority of people anyway.
One feature making this game unique is the ''2nd respin''. When 2 scatters make an appearance, you'll get a chance to stick them to the reels and re-spin the other ones. Three scatters award free spins so this is a nice little boost with a pretty high chance of actually getting the free rounds awarded.
The game isn't an ordinary slot and it's neither a classic one either. However, it is really easy to play and understand. MicroGaming actually prides themselves for the user experience created by their games, which comes along the high quality graphics and exceptional features. In other words, Polar Pioneers is a game that will fit both, experienced players and ones that have just started their journey in the online slots world.
If you are somewhat familiar with how this company develops their games, you'll recognize the player panel offered right away. Only a couple of buttons featured, for changing the most important aspects of game-play.
Firstly, the +/- buttons are used to change the denomination of coins offered. In this case, coin betting range is quite ''thin'' and you can choose between $0.01 to $0.10 as the size. However that is greatly balanced with having an option to bet up to 20 coins per pay-line, which is changed by ''Select Coins'' button.
To change the amount of lines that are played, use the ''Select Lines'' button. Anywhere between 1 and 20 lines can be played in the Polar Pioneers slot.
Lastly, if you are a fan of having a handful of more advanced options, the expert mode is a great fit. It can be switched by using the ''Expert'' button that is located right on the left from all the other ones.
Similarly as with all other video slots, when playing Polar Pioneers, you should always choose option of playing the highest amount of pay-lines offered. In this case that amount is 20. This might be more expensive, but it also maximizes the frequency of wins. You'd also hate to see a big win forming only to realize that you forgot to wager on that particular line, wouldn't you? Exactly.
