text: Not many people would voluntarily spend more than a day in the icy arctic environment, but before the real thaw seasons approach, with their furry coats and robust build, some brutal Scandinavian Vikings, fearless of the severe chill, are impressively ripping the Northern Sea by sailing ship. They have a long faring before reaching land, where the forethought ravaging for treasures and travelling provisions will begin.
  Microgaming has found such lofty Viking Warriors for protagonists in their dramatic/adventurous Arctic Fortune slot machine (2010), willing to share their loot with us. While we are sailing between enormous icebergs in the Vikings' ship, we can come across all kinds of hidden arctic riches.
  The action takes place on a 5x4 grid, and payouts come from 1024 win lines. This polar slot is certainly worth a spin with its plentiful RTP of 96.58% and Medium Volatility.

  Personal testers' opinion about Arctic Fortune slot
  We thoroughly enjoyed testing this slot. Especially the main attraction: The Free Spins. Once you land 3 Scatter symbols, the arctic fun begins. You find yourself surrounded by a glacial haze, approaching a medieval castle with an iron solid gate in front. Scary giant spiders will descend from the ceiling, and you have to shoot them with your fiery arrow. Black spiders bring you Free Spins, and red ones will ensure your winnings to be multiplied. Once you've eliminated the jumbo spiders, you'll be threatened by an even more colossal and eerier spider. But all you have to do is hit it in the head and body, and you'll be lavishly rewarded with coin wins. After you slamming 2 door-cranks and the vile spider is cut in half, you are ready to enter the Free Spin mode.
  The frequency of triggering the bonus round equals 1.11%, meaning statistically, every 90th spin, the bonus feature is triggered. Almost 43% of the entire prize pool will be set aside for payments in the Free Spins. The probability of hitting any win is 46.50%. Of course, payouts are issued frequently, but their sizes rarely cover the bets. Our biggest win playing for real money was 64x total bets in the main game, and the average in the Free Spins bonus round was approximately 32x. The slot deserved 5.52 (out of 10) points on the wagering meter, i.e. score on the middle line, justifying our neutral recommendations.
