Theme: join a magic parrot in an icy paradise

Released on the 7^th of September 2023 (following Cyclops Smash), the Frozen Tropics slot has a tropical theme. However, it’s not all palm trees and cocktails as an icy storm has swept over what appears to be a Caribbean island.

With clear blue skies, you’ll see mountains of snow take over this idyllic setting. Imagine Barbados covered in snow: that’s the setting here basically. That said, Frozen Tropics has an upbeat and fun feel as the graphics are colourful with the soundtrack is uplifting yet with a Calypso music vibe.

On the reels, you’ll come across A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Higher-value symbols include an assortment of tropical fruit such as bananas, watermelon, grapes, plums and strawberries. The strawberry symbol is the best paying with 0.75, 1, 1.5 or 2 x bet awarded for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

Frozen Tropics benefits from 2 Wild symbols (one red, one yellow) that substitute for all paying symbols. The Yellow Wild appears on reels 3 and 4 whilst the Re Wild appears on reels 2 and 5. There is also a Frozen Parrot Scatter symbol that triggers the Free Spins feature when 3 or more appear simultaneously.

Frozen Tropics Bonus Features

The Frozen Tropics slot comes with 4 bonus features. Tumbles lead to symbols unfreezing until they reach level 1 which then adds a multiplier to the total multiplier. Unfreeze wilds to add random multipliers up to 100x or double the total multiplier. In the Free Spins feature, the total multiplier doesn’t reset meaning a much higher chance of winning the 9,000 x bet max win advertised.

Tumble feature

When a winning combination appears, the Tumble feature comes into play. Winning symbols disappear (except scatters) with the remaining symbols falling to the bottom of the screen. Empty positions are replaced with new symbols falling from above. Tumbles continue until no more winning combinations are formed.

Frozen Symbols feature

You will notice that symbols hit randomly with 1 out of 3 possible levels:

Level	Description
Level 3	Frozen
Level 2	Partially Frozen
Level 1	Unfrozen

Frozen symbols won’t explode and disappear during tumbles but instead drop down 1 level, from level 3 to level 2 and from level 2 to level 1 after each winning combination. When a level 1 symbol is part of a win, it disappears and leaves behind a multiplier that is added to the total multiplier. That total multiplier applies to all subsequent wins in the tumble sequence.

Any non-Wild symbol that explodes leaves a 1x multiplier. If any Red Wild symbol explodes on reels 2 and 5, a random multiplier of 5x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 75x or 100x is left behind.

Any Yellow Wild symbol that explodes on reels 3 and 4 will double the total multiplier. After every base game spin and tumbles, the multiplier resets back to 1x.

Free Spins feature

The Frozen Tropics slot comes with a Free Spins feature. This is triggered by landing 3 or more Frozen Parrot Scatters anywhere on the reels. 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters will also award 0.1, 0.25, 1 or 5 x bet as well as 10 free spins. This will occur every 294 spins on average.

The setting turns to night and the soundtrack becomes a Calypso/disco track. Importantly, and contrary to the base game, the total multiplier doesn’t reset between free spins. If you hit 3 or more scatters during a free spin, you’ll win an additional 10 free spins.

Players outside the UK can opt for the Buy Free Spins feature which costs 100 x your total bet. The RTP for this option is 96% (it’s 96.15% normally).

Frozen Tropics Review Summary: unfreezing symbols key to big multipliers

As far as themes go, the Frozen Tropics slot is different to what you might initially think. My first thought was a world where the Ice Age has hit planet Earth and covered the Caribbean/tropics in snow. Contrarily, it’s a joyful game with a magic parrot leading the proceedings.

The gameplay is simpler than it appears. Get on a roll with tumbles to unfreeze symbols which in turn increases the total multiplier. Unfreezing Wilds on reels 2 and/or 5 will see a random multiplier up to 100x added to the total multiplier. If you unfreeze a Wild symbol on reels 3 and/or 4, the total multiplier is doubled.

In the Free Spins feature, the Frozen Symbols feature is in play with the total multiplier not resetting between free spins. This means a random multiplier up to 100x or a doubling multiplier on reels 3 and/or 4 can propel your winnings significantly.

With 9,000 x bet max wins up for grabs, the Frozen Tropics slot is a simple yet fun tumbling game where multipliers can build and build (especially in the free spins). Just hope you manage to unfreeze plenty of Wilds on the 4 middle reels.

The gameplay has some similarities to the Keep ‘Em Cool slot from Hacksaw Gaming. With cascading frozen symbols (does that ring a bell?), Cocktail Glass scatters fully re-freeze symbols so they remain on the grid. This can lead to even bigger clusters being formed.

With Blender scatters that blend and absorb all symbol types, the Sunset Picnic Bonus feature gives you free spins with a higher chance of Cocktail and Blender scatters landing. This can lead to 5,000 x bet payouts.
