Northern Sky Pokie Review
This 5-reel 9-payline pokie features a compact yet intriguing and attractive set of features including up to $4000 wins in base rounds, free re-spins after each win in a base mode and free spins played with high-paying icons only. An Aussie will be hypnotized by visual and sound effects reminding of the wonders of the Northern Sky, that of Polar Light. Read the rules and tips below.Gameplay: Prepare to admire the beauty
People of the North know for sure that ice and snow are capable of making miracles. That Northern miraculous touch rests upon the interface, reels and symbols of the pokie. You will have to make an effort to unglue your eyes and start playing – and playing takes no effort at all except for the tiniest one required for setting a total bet. The total bet ranges from $0.10 up to $100 and matches any gambling budget. All 9 paylines of the pokie are constantly on so you do not need to make any other adjustments.
Regular symbols are grouped by the level of payouts. The first group comprises 3 Crystals paying between x0.2 and x2 of a total bet or $20 and $100 at the maximum bet. The second group includes 4 beautifully made crystal animals, an Owl, a Wolf, a Bear and a Deer featuring winnings from x0.5 to x40 a total bet or from $50 to $4000 at the maximum bet.
Regular symbols pay from left to right. They start earning when you land at least 3 matching symbol on any payline and earn the top payouts when you manage to land 5 of a kind on a payline.
Respin feature: Prepare to admire the profit
Any winning combination in a standard mode triggers a Respin feature. Read carefully how it works because it makes this video slot a champion and this champion pays tons.
After a base win is paid, winning symbols are held in places while all other symbols disappear. Vacant positions on the reels are filled with new random symbols. If there is a new winning combination, a win is paid and the process repeats. All winning symbols are held in their positions on the reels and all other symbols disappear. The feature goes like this until there is no more wins, and the feature thus can last for quite a long time and for many re-spins (they are free).
The super lucrative nature of the feature is as follows: when triggered, it pays for the triggering winning combination plus for the symbols that join it during respins. If a respin does not bring any new winning symbols, the award for the winning combination of a previous spin is paid out again and a base mode is restored. For example, you land 3 Owls and earn $50. Your win is paid, a respin feature activates, 3 Owls are held in place, all other symbols are gone but no more Owls appear. A win of $50 is paid again and a base mode is restored. If there are more Owls landed on the reels as a result of the respin, the feature activates again until there are no more Owls. This respin feature is a true moneymaker and shall not be missed, no way.
Bonus feature: Prepare to spin for free and score big
A Bonus symbols is a Scatter. Collect 3 Scatters in a single game round and win 10 free spins. A single game round means a spin and all respins it generates until there are no more respins. There is a Bonus Meter on the left side of reels. Each time your score a Bonus symbol within a single game round, this symbol appears in a Bonus Meter. If you manage to collect 3 Bonus symbols in a single game round, you win 10 free spins.
The difference between respins and free spins is that free spins are played only with symbols with the highest paytable: an Owl, a Wolf, a Bear and a Deer paying from $50 up to $4000 at the maximum bet. Low-valued crystals do not take part in free spins. The second distinction is that respins are played for as long as there is a winning combination, while free spins have a limited duration.
The last but not the least: a respin feature also works just fine during free spins! Each time you win in a free spin mode, a respin feature activates. Winning symbols are held in their places on the reels, all other symbols are gone and new random symbols come and so on until there is no new winning combination. Respins triggered in a free spin mode do not count as free spins. Whatever quantity of respins you win you have them all.
Summary
Beautifully made and very simple at the first glance, this video slot is tantalizing and is literally begging you to play for real money at the highest bet possible due to up to $4000 wins in base rounds, free respins that multiply winning opportunities and go almost endlessly, and free spins played with the highest paying symbols and combined with a super lucrative respins feature. Available in online casinos 24/7 and optimized for PC and mobile, the Northern Sky pokie is a must-have gambling experience for Aussies.
