Polar Heatwave

4.9 out of 5 stars.

Polar Heatwave by Dragon Gaming is based on one of the most unique and scenic premises you will come across in terms of visuals as well as gameplay. Based against the backdrop of melting polar glaciers, the game celebrates the arrival of summer in the South Pole, which allows animals to step out of the dead of winter and enjoy the fresh warmth of the sun. 
The reels display an interesting variety of symbols, including low paying playing card symbols as well as medium and high paying polar animal symbols like seagulls, seals, and penguins. The Wild symbol is represented by the penguin, which can replace substitute all regular symbols on the reels and not the Scatter. The Scatter or Bonus is represented by the Sun. Landing more bonus symbols means you not just unlock more free spins to get rewards, but also raise the temperature bar gradually, bringing summer warmth to the pole. As bonuses augment, the temperature bar progresses from 20°C to 0°C to unfreeze both game elements and opportunities. 
The Polar Heatwave slot game, however, has a fairly small betting range of 0.20 to 90.00. Add to that the medium volatility of the game a below-average RTP of 95.5%, and it becomes clear that the game is not meant for high hitters and seekers. And yet, the unique gameplay makes for one of the most enjoyable and distinct slot game experiences you could have these days.
