9k Yeti Slot Review

9k Yeti Slot Details & Wager Limits

The 9k Yeti slot game takes place on 6 reels, 4 rows and 4,096 ways to win. A winning combination is created when you land 3 or more matching symbols across any of the paylines. The exceptions are the Sherpa, mountain climber and Yeti symbols as you only need 2 to land a winner.

Available to play from 10p to £25 per spin, 9k Yeti caters all pockets and bankrolls. There is a handy Autoplay option where you can choose from 10, 25, 50, 75 or 100 autospins. You can customise your experience with a loss limit as well as a single win limit.

Highly volatile, don’t expect big wins often at all. Most wins will be below 20 times your total stake. The max win is 9,012 x your total stake, hence the 9k part of the slot name. The hit frequency rate is 19.2% so about 1 in 5 spins will result in a winning combination.

9k Yeti RTP

The 9k Yeti RTP is 97%. This is very high for an online slot as the normal range is about 96%. For every £100 you wager on the 4ThePlayer slot, you’ll win back £97 on average giving the online casino just a 3% margin. Whilst big wins will be few and far between, smaller wins will be frequent enough to keep your bankroll up.

Theme – expedition to Mount Everest

The 9k Yeti slot is a beautifully designed game. You stand at the base camp staring up the majestic and iconic mountain. That’s Mount Everest by the way which is the world’s tallest mountain and stands at 8,848 metres. With the sun shining, the soundtrack is mythical as you’ll see wind chimes tinkling.

Symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 royals as well as climbing ropes, ice axes, tents, Sherpas and mountain climbers. Then you have the Yeti symbol which is the most lucrative. 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 on a payline will reward you with 1, 4, 5, 7 or 8.8 times your stake respectively.

The Mount Everest symbol is the wild. It substitutes for all symbols bar the footprint scatter. Winning formations are created by getting matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from reel 1 (i.e. on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4). Here’s a list of the payouts per symbol:

Symbol	Payouts
10	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.5, 1.5 or 2.5 x stake
J	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.5, 1.5 or 2.5 x stake
Q	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.7, 2 or 3 x stake
K	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.7, 2 or 3 x stake
A	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 1, 2.5 or 3.5 x stake
Climbing Rope	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.7, 1.5, 3 or 4 x stake
Ice Axe	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.7, 1.5, 3 or 4 x stake
Tent	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 1, 2, 4 or 5 x stake

Yeti	2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 1, 4, 5, 7 or 8.8 x stake
Mount Everest Wild	Substitutes for all symbols above
Footprint Scatter	3+ triggers free spins

Big Reel Portrait Mode

The good thing about new slot providers/developers is that you can take advantage of modern technologies to take their slots to the next level. 4ThePlayer offers the Big Reel Portrait Mode. When playing 9k Yeti on your smartphone device, you can opt for classic mode or Big Reel Portrait Mode.

The Big Reel Portrait Mode sees the reels stacked to occupy 60% of the screen. This leads to a much better playing experience. The game is also available on tablet and desktop devices as standard.

9k Yeti Bonus Features

9k Yeti comes with 2 bonus features. Theirs is the Snowstorm Free Spins Bonus feature where you can benefit from up to 880 free spins in total. In the Snowstorm feature, snow storms shuffle symbols to give you a guarantee winning outcome.

Snowstorm Free Spins Bonus feature

The 9k Yeti slot is all about the Snowstorm Free Spins Bonus feature. This is played when you get 3 or more footprint scatters on any reels. 3, 4, 5 or 6 footprint scatters will reward you with 8, 15, 40 or 88 free spins respectively.

During the feature, you can land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters to give you 5, 8, 15 or 50 additional free spins. In fact, you can retrigger the feature various times for a maximum of 880 free spins.

Snowstorm feature

During the free spins, look out for the Yeti symbol and the Mount Everest wild symbol appearing on the reels on the same free spin. When this happens and you don’t get a winning combination, the Snowstorm feature is triggered.

A snow storm will lift 1 or more Yeti and wild symbols and shuffle them with other symbols to guaranteed you a winning outcome. Basically, a losing free spin will change into a winning one.

9k Yeti Review Summary – highly volatile with 9,012 x stake max wins

The 9k Yeti slot was the first from innovative developer 4ThePlayer. In fact, it’s a superb slot by anyone’s standards. Beautifully designed, the 2 bonus features are good. The fact you can retrigger the Snowstorm Free Spins Bonus feature multiple times for a huge number of potential free spins is very appealing.

This Everest expedition is a volatile one though. Expect the average win in the free spins to be just over 40 times your stake. However, if you get lucky, you could win a whopping 9,012 times your stake on every spin or free spin. 9k Yeti also has a RTP rate of 97% which is very high.

One of the best things about 9k Yeti is the Big Reel Portrait Mode which allows you to see the reels occupy more of your smartphone screen making it perfect for mobile play. Overall, the 9k Yeti slot is an engaging and brilliant first effort from 4ThePlayer and has the potential for some mountainous ways.

Check out 1 Left Alive which was 4ThePlayer’s second release and just as impressive. However, my favourite game of theirs is 3 Secret Cities which uses a BONUS↑UP feature which affects which city you play in the Temple Free Spins Bonus feature. It also offers 50,000 x stake max wins. If it’s Yetis you’re after, Ice Ice Yeti from Nolimit City is worth trying.

Finally, 4ThePlayer have created the 9k Kong in Vegas slot which a King Kong character heads to Las Vegas. You can repeat Big Wins in the base game and free spins. In the latter, your highest win is saved and then added to subsequent wins. This can lead to 9,216 x bet max wins.
