1k Yeti Slot Review

1k Yeti Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The 1k Yeti slot is played on 5 reels and has 40 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are formed by matching 3 or more symbols from left to right, beginning from reel 1.

Stakes range from just 20p up to £100 per spin. Catering to all pockets, simply hit the + and – buttons on either side of the spin button to adjust your total bet.

The 1k Yeti RTP is 95%, slightly below the industry average at UK online casino sites. It’s also a lot lower than 9k Yeti, which has an RTP rate of 97%. But while that slot is highly volatile, that’s not the case here as volatility is in the low range.

The maximum win is 2,000 x your total stake. This is best achieved in the Free Spins feature as there’s no limit on the number of possible retriggers by landing 3 or more Scatters during the bonus round. More on that feature further down in the review.

Theme: another trip to Nepal

The mythical Yeti returns as you continue your Everest expedition on the hunt for riches. Set in front of the Himalayan mountains, a suspenseful soundtrack plays in the background as you spin away, with wind chimes and traditional instruments enhancing the overall gameplay. It matches the audio from 9k Yeti and 90k Yeti Gigablox. Land the Free Spins feature and the audio intensifies as you spin away during a snowstorm.

The symbols are bold and colourful, which makes them stand out alongside the multi-coloured bunting on either side of the reels. Without that, it would look a little dull, so that’s a nice touch from 4ThePlayer.

On the reels, the A-10 Royals make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by higher-paying ope, snow axe and tent symbols. Then you’ve got male and female mountaineers as well as a mountain symbol. The mountain symbol pays the most, awarding 0.75, 2.5 or 10 x the bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. There was another symbol in the promotional pack – a Sherpa person. However, 4ThePlayer decided not to include this in the game.

The game’s Wild is the mythical Yeti. This symbol substitutes for all except Scatters and pays 1.25, 5 or 25 x the bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. Furthermore, a full screen of Wilds will pay 1,000 x the bet. Here’s a list of the symbols you’ll come across in the game and the payout info for each one:

1k Yeti Mobile

When playing the 1k Yeti mobile slot in portrait mode, you have the option of playing classic reels or BIG REEL Portrait Mode. The latter enlarges the reels as you spin right to left, paying top to bottom for a more immersive experience. BIG REEL Portrait Mode maximises the visual experience on smartphones and tablets and you can enjoy this game on all compatible iOS and Android devices.

1k Yeti Bonus Features

There are 2 bonus features in the 1k Yeti slot game. The main bonus feature is the Free Spins feature, which you can also buy if you’re outside the UK. Read on as we guide you through how that works.

Yeti Rush Free Spins feature

Land 3 or more Scatters in the base game to trigger this bonus feature. 3, 4 or 5 Scatters will award 5, 10 or 25 free spins respectively. A Stacked Yeti Wild will start on reel 5 and move to the left on each spin. When it reaches reel 1, the Yeti will move back to reel 5 on the following spin if you have any left. Simply spin away until your free spins run out.

Before we move on, it’s important to note that non-UK players can buy the Free Spins feature for 50 x bet. 3 or more Scatters will land randomly to trigger the feature.

1k Yeti Summary: a solid low-variance alternative

If you’ve played the previous Yeti titles from this provider then you’ll know what to expect. Although the gameplay is slightly different in each slot, the overall theme is the same, and it’s a very popular one. If it’s not broken, right? 1k Yeti is simple but effective.

The low variance is what sets this one apart from the others. It’ll certainly appeal to players who enjoy lower-value payouts but at a faster rate. I must also add that I enjoyed the Free Spins feature numerous times while testing this game. When it comes to RTP rate and max win potential, it’s not going to be winning any awards for either.

The 1k Yeti slot is really easy to understand and it will no doubt instantly appeal to those who prefer these types of games. I like the way the Stacked Wild is used in the Free Spins feature as it has the potential to throw out some big wins, although they’re going to be few and far between in comparison to other 4ThePlayer titles. But, although this doesn’t hit the dizzy heights of previous releases, it’s a fun slot to play, especially in BIG Reel Portrait Mode if you prefer playing on mobile.
