Bloxx Arctic

Arctic Bloxx Review

This game is a new release in the Bloxx series. It takes players to a new setting, and the game’s winning potential has increased as well. Let’s start with the game’s setup. There are 2 playing fields in total, and the left one has 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 paylines. The right one, on the other hand, is full of blocks with coin wins, and it has no paylines.

Visually, Arctic Bloxx is a frozen slot with plenty of ice symbols, though its delivery falls a bit flat. It’s nothing bad to look at, don’t get us wrong, but the game’s presentation can’t compete with the best modern slots on the market.

The mathematical model of Arctic Bloxx combines a medium volatility level with a pretty good 3,500x jackpot, and the game’s hit frequency clocks in at 27.52%. Low rollers can start playing for bets as low as £0.10 per spin, while high rollers can go straight for the £100 max bet. Finally, the theoretical RTP of Arctic Bloxx can be 85.24%, 90.01%, 92.04%, or 95.47%. Note that all those values are well below average.

Arctic Bloxx Slot Features

The paytable of Arctic Bloxx features 10 pay symbols, which are divided evenly into 5 low pays and 5 high pays. For the former, there are card ranks from Tens to Aces, and they can net you up to 3x your bet for a full set. Then, there are reindeer, polar bears, two types of snowflakes, and even wolves. Wolves are worth the most, and pay up to 50x your bet for a combination.

In terms of special symbols, there are Ice Queen Wilds, Ice Crystal Scatters, and Dollar symbols. Ice Queen Wilds can substitute for pay symbols to help you out, and they also come with their own payout values. Ice Crystal Scatters and Dollar symbols, meanwhile, are there to interact with the slot’s bonus feature.

If you get 3 or more Dollar symbols on 3 or more adjacent reels from left to right, you’ll trigger the Bloxx Win feature, which will collect all the corresponding prizes from the right playing field.

Landing 3 or more Ice Crystal Scatters triggers the Free Spins feature with 10 free spins, and retriggers are possible as well. What’s more, Ice Queen Wilds double as Dollar symbols during all free spins, which means that it’s much easier to get Bloxx Wins during free spins.

Lastly, you can also try to improve your wins with the Gamble feature, which is all about guessing the color or the suit of a face-down playing card. Guess right, and you’ll double (or quadruple) your win. Guess wrong, however, and you’ll lose it.

Review Summary

Although Arctic Bloxx is certainly an improvement over its predecessor, it still has room for improvement. The graphics could be better, and the game’s RTPs should also be higher. The Bloxx Win concept is nice, but it should be wrapped in a better package!
