ABOUT THE ARCTIC VALOR SLOT 

If you’re not afraid of the cold, then it's time for a chilly adventure in this Norse mythology-themed slot game powered by Microgaming. The game is set in an arctic temple built like a chilly cave. There are icicles hanging from the ceiling, and they play an important part in the game’s bonus feature later. The setup of the temple cave feels quite ethereal, with northern lights shimmering gently in the background and snow tiny snowflakes falling gently onto the reels. 

The game is based on a pretty epic premise as it features Valkyries, a team of stunning female warriors frequently mentioned in Norse mythology. Aside from the backdrop, the reel itself has a cool appearance too, and the game features some cool animations to make things even more interesting. The background music is interesting as well. It’s not quite the epic tune you might expect from a slot based on ancient warriors, but it’s still great quality sound and adds an entertaining effect to the slot. 

GAMEPLAY 

WAGER

Arctic Valor is played on a six-reel board, with four rows for each reel. The game has an “any adjacent pays” rule, in which you can form winning combinations with three or more identical symbols as long as they fall on adjacent positions on the reel. This results in a total of 4,096 winning ways in this game. Winning combinations can also start anywhere on the reels and in any direction. Each spin in the Arctic Valor slot costs $0.15. 

SYMBOLS

Unlike other similar games where the low-paying symbols are card royals, all the symbols in Arctic Valor are themed. The four beautiful Valkyries all offer the same payout of 0.66x for a six-symbol combination. Other symbols include crossed swords, bow and arrows, a helmet, a shield and four different snowflake types. 

The snowflakes pay 0.53x your wager for any six-of-a-kind combination while the other symbols (helmet, shield, swords and arrows) pay 0.6x your wager for getting six symbols on adjacent reels. 

This Wild symbol in this slot is the word “Wild” printed in a fun-themed font. It can substitute for any of the game symbols to form winning combinations. The Scatter symbol is a special snowflake that triggers the bonus round. 

SPECIAL FEATURES 

The main special feature in this slot is the icicle feature. As mentioned above, this feature is triggered by the icicle on the roof of the temple cave above the reels. This feature can be triggered randomly on each spin. When the icicle feature is activated, the icicles fall onto the reels, covering up to three reel positions. 

You will be prompted to break the ice by clicking on them with your mouse. The mouse press can either reveal an instant cash prize or trigger bonus Wild symbols. The cash awards will be paid out as a multiple of the total stake for that round. 

ARCTIC VALOR FREE SPINS FEATURES

The special blue and pink coloured snowflake is the Scatter symbol in this slot. Three or more of this Scatter symbol will trigger the free spins feature, with seven spins. During this bonus round, icicles will drop on the reels with each spin, awarding cash payouts and Wild symbols. 

The four Valkyrie symbols can appear as stacked symbols during the Arctic Valor bonus round. When this happens, the size of the icicles will increase beyond the maximum of three positions.

Another way to get free spins to play casino games is through casino bonuses. Online casinos offer free spins all the time to boost the overall playing experience for players. For instance, new players on the EnergyCasino website will get no deposit-free spins as a Welcome Bonus on the website. Existing players can also get free spins and other bonus offers through EnergySpins rewards, reload bonuses, EnergySpins rewards and tournament prizes.
