How Arctic Moon: Lock & Respin works

The layout here is so simple and stylish, with the reels housed in a huge iceberg. The game has big bold reels that are just perfect for mobile screens, and the symbols are beautifully illustrated. The 5x3 grid contains JQKA symbols, along with fish, walruses, puffins and killer whales. Spot the polar bear for really big wins - this is the wild symbol for the game.

As well as these standard symbols, you'll see two bonus symbols as you spin. The setting suns, which have cash values attached, trigger the Lock & Respin feature when six or more land on any spin. The Ice Spins crystals, which only appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, trigger the free spins bonus round if you find all three.

Ice Spins

This feature initially awards five free games, which are played on a special reel set. The middle three reels are linked, creating one giant 3x3 symbol. This can produce some amazing wins. There is also a chance for the giant symbol to land as a wild, as an Ice Spins scatter (awarding five extra spins) or as a sun scatter - triggering the Lock & Respin feature.

Lock & Respin Spins

If six triggering symbols (or one 3x3 symbol) hit during any spin, they lock in place and a special reel set springs up around them. The bright suns turn into brillant white moons, and the reels become a block of ice. Three respins are awarded initially, giving a chance to land more moon symbols. Any new symbols found will reset the respin counter back to three. If a full reel or row is filled during the round, it expands by two places, potentially increasing the reel size to 7x5!

When no new symbols are found and the counter reaches zero, all values in view are paid. This can include the game's three jackpot prizes, as follows:

• Mini (30x the stake)

• Mega (100x)

• Major (2500x)

It is possible to win multiple jackpots on any Lock & Repsin round.

Arctic Moon: Lock & Respin summary

If you are familiar with cash collector slots, then Arctic Moon: Lock & Respin won't bring too many surprises. It does add the expanding reels for the bonus round though, which is certainly a nice touch. This is a volatile slot, and it has an RTP significantly under the average, but the maximum prize is over 10,000x the stake, so there is plenty worthwhile here. The game design and reel action are decent enough, and players who want to try something new, while still recognising the features and rules, won't go far wrong with this slot.
