Free slot: Hotel Yeti Way

How Hotel Yeti Way works

Welcome to Hawaii, on a beach holiday with Yeti, far from his natural habitat. From surfing to scuba diving to bungee jumping, Yeti invites you to participate in his favourite activities and helps you hit the jackpot in exchange!

Hotel Yeti Way is a slot developed and published by online gaming provider Play'n GO. It has been available at most online casinos since 15 July 2021.

Its payout ratio (RTP) is average at 96.4%, but it is its volatility and especially its winning potential that are impressive, especially for a Play'n GO slot. Indeed, it is possible to win up to 30,000 times your initial bet on Hotel Yeti Way!

The grid is quite large with 6 reels consisting of 4 symbols each.

In both base game and free spins, there are several features available thanks to the Yeti Wild which randomly activates one of these 3 actions when it appears on the grid:

• Bungee jumping -> Yeti creates 1 to 4 stacked Wilds;

• Surfing -> Yeti adds 2 to 8 Wild to the grid;

• Scuba Diving -> Yeti activates up to 24 respins. The grid is cleared of all symbols and the respins continue as long as at least one shark appears, which will then be sticky. After 24 respins or if no sharks appear on the grid, the respins stop and the placement of sharks on the grid triggers your win if ways are validated. A screen full of sharks pays 12,288 times the original bet.

The different symbols in Hotel Yeti Way

In addition to the Wilds, Yeti and Scatter, there are 10 symbols in Hotel Yeti Way.

They are divided into two categories:

• High value symbols, also called premium symbols, appear less often, but pay much more. They are represented by a shark, a hat, sunglasses, flip-flops and a tube of cream;

• Low value symbols, also called common symbols, appear more often, but pay much less. They are represented by the high values in a pack of cards (10-J-Q-K-A).

Above are the potential payouts for a €1 bet.

The different connections in Hotel Yeti Way

Many connections are possible in Hotel Yeti Way. There are no predefined paylines in this slot. You have to line up identical symbols on adjacent reels. This way system is becoming more and more common and is quite simple to understand.

Connections are made from left to right with a minimum of 3 reels having an identical symbol. The image below can help you understand this connection system with a paying example and a no-connect example.

How the Hotel Yeti Way bonus works

Getting 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatter symbols in a single pay round triggers the Hotel Yeti Way bonus with 8, 12, 16 or 20 free spins respectively. The Scatter is recognizable as a card.

You are then offered a choice of 3 different bonuses based on the 3 Yeti activities. Instead of randomly triggering one of the 3 functions, Yeti will always trigger the function you choose:

• Bungee Jumping -> As soon as a Yeti appears, it creates between 1 and 4 stacked Wilds. The chances of getting 4 Wilds are increased;

• Surfing -> Whenever a Yeti appears, it adds between 2 and 8 Wilds to the grid. Chances of getting a higher total of Wilds are increased;

• Scuba Diving -> As soon as a Yeti appears, it activates up to 24 respins. The grid is emptied of all symbols and the respins continue as long as at least one shark appears. After 24 respins or if no shark appears on the grid, the respins stop.

In addition to being able to choose the feature used during the bonus, each spin, between 1 and 6 reels will be selected and surrounded by a blue border. A x2 multiplier will then be activated to double the number of ways to that reel. The selected reels will randomly change each spin to create a total of up to 262,144 random ways.

Play'n GO offers a very original slot machine with Hotel Yeti Way! The world of the tropics and the beach in Hawaiian style is excellently realised thanks to the high quality graphics and very lively background music.

The 3 different features in the base game create a real surprise and allow you to choose the desired level of volatility during the free spins bonus.

The already high maximum win potential is even more impressive as it is possible to win more than 12,000 times the starting stake in a single payout round!

In the end, Hotel Yeti Way is an excellent slot that will certainly appeal to a large number of players and perhaps allow Play'n GO to regain its place in the hearts of enthusiasts.
