Hotel Yeti-Way Slot review
When you think of beaches and sunbathing, yetis are not something that immediately springs to mind. Well, Play’N Go wants to challenge that with the uniquely themed Hotel Yeti-Way slot game. The title follows a Yeti as he heads down to the beach and partakes in all sorts of fun activities. It’s a crazy idea for a slot theme but if anyone can make this work, it’s Play’N Go. Of course, the developer doesn’t just rely on its theme, and it has loaded the slot up with bonus features and some good winning potential. So pull up a sun-lounger and hit the spin button to find out what Hotel Yeti-Way has in store.
Hotel Yeti-Way Theme and Design
Play’N Go is clearly having a lot of fun with the Hotel Yeti-Way theme and design. The slot is based around a fun-loving Yeti that has headed to the beach on his holidays and is now sitting swigging cocktails and catching a tan. The slot has a really fun animation style, with a bird flying around the reels keeping things lively. It is all complemented by a chilled Hawaiian-style soundtrack.
How to Play Hotel Yeti-Way
Hotel Yeti-Way has a rather unique theme, but the gameplay, at least for the base game, is kept nice and simple. The fun unfolds on a slightly bigger-than-normal 6x4 grid, allowing for 4,096 ways to win, though this can just up significantly in the Bonus Spins round that we will cover later.
The slot has an RTP of 96.18%, and it is rated as highly volatile by Play’N Go. It has a maximum win on offer of 30,000x the player’s stake. All of these numbers are the kind that we really like to see.
Hotel Yeti-Way Bonus Features
The Hotel Yeti-Way really shows what it is packing with its bonus features. Firstly, there are three different Wild features that can be triggered at random when the Yeti Wild lands. The first is the Bungee Jumping feature, which creates 1-4 stacks of Wilds on the reels, the second is the Surfing Yeti, which adds up to eight additional Wilds in random positions on the reels, and the third is the Scuba Diving Yeti, which triggers a respin. If a Shark symbol lands during this respin, another respin is issued. The maximum number of respins available is 24.
Landing three or more Scatters in the slot will trigger the Free Spins round. Three Scatters will reward 8 spins, while 4, 5, or 6 will reward 8, 12, 16, or 20 respectively. At the start of the round, players get to choose the type of Free Spins round they get.
The three rounds involve the Three Wild features. The Bungee Jumping increases the chances of 4 Stacked Wilds, the Surfing Spins add up to 8 Wilds, and the Scuba Diving Spins reward a respin whenever you land a shark. Choosing the type of spins that they take allows the players to just the volatility, with the Surfing Spins offering medium volatility, Bungee Jumping offering medium-high, and Scuba Diving offering high.
During the spins, the reels become dynamic. On every free spin, one or more reels have a x2 payway multiplier. This doubles the number of winning ways on that reel. Up to six of these can activate, allowing for the number of ways to be multiplied by 64. This leads to a whopping 262,144 different ways to win being active.
Hotel Yeti-Way Slot Verdict
Play’N Go has put together a really fun online slot with Hotel Yeti-Way. The game has a really unique and enjoyable theme that helps to make it memorable, but its most memorable factors come from its gameplay. The potential 30,000x the player's stake win is certainly notable, and the Wild multipliers and features help to keep both the base game and the Free Spins round super engaging.
