Our play area is Yeti’s seaside lodge with lounger, snorkel and mask, bungee rope and hard hat, plus the surfboard, doubling as the sign. The sun is always shining at Hotel Yeti-Way, which provides sunny holidays full of activities for Yeti who come prepared with sunglasses and hats for the break. Each random bonus animates the Yeti onto the reels for sporting activity and the games brightly presented colours and cartoon style give such a warm feeling of holiday vibes you can almost smell the sun cream.

The pay symbols begin with the lows of 10, J, Q, K and A, awarding across the board 0.5x for six of a kind. A bottle of sun cream, flip-flops, sunglasses, hats and sharks complete the line-up, paying up to 3x your stake for six across the reels. Cooling ice blocks and 2-symbol high Yeti icons are the two wilds on this slot, substituting for all regular symbols and yielding 3x your bet for six. Lastly, a tourist map acts as the scatter.

Hotel Yeti-Way Slot Features

Dynamic reels and new mechanics always prick up ears and draw attention from players. Hotel Yeti-Way is not new with Payways but uses x2 Payway Multipliers which signal an increase in ways rather than expand the positions. Ultimately, the effect is the same, though not as awe-inspiring to look at. But, before the workings of x2 Payway Multipliers, let us look at the basic games Yeti random features.

When a Yeti Wild appears in full view on a spin in the base game, it will award one of three random features. Yeti will change his shirt for a new outfit base on the selected random modifier. Neither of them guarantees a win. These features are used in the Free Spins bonus with the addition of x2 Payways Multipliers.

• Bungee Jumping Yeti – High Volatility: Turns 1 – 4 reels and himself into fully stacked wilds.
• Scuba Diving Yeti – Medium Volatility: Triggers respins with only Sharks. Respins continue as long as more Shark symbols land, up to 24 for a full screen.
• Surfing Yeti – Maximum Volatility: Adds between 2 – 8 single wilds to random positions in addition to the two positions of the Yeti Wild itself.

Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters awards 8, 12, 16 or 20 free spins, respectively. An x2 Payway Multiplier will be selected for one or more reels during every single free spin of a bonus round. Marked with an x2 and framing the reel in ice, they double the number of pays and with six reels possible, this can lead you to the 262,144 maximum ways to pay. Free spins can be retriggered once, at the same values, for a possible 40 free spins maximum and each choice of bonus comes with its own volatility rating when compared with each other:

Surfing Free Spins – The least volatile compared to the rest, our Yeti dons his Hawaiian flower necklace and grabs the surfboard. The Yeti surfs up to 8 wilds in random positions onto the grid for each spin, potentially linking wins across the reels with each surf.

Bungee Jumping Free Spins – Our Yeti wears a harness and goggles for this daredevil activity which sits in the middle for bonus volatility. For each spin, the Yeti will bungee jump a Stacked Yeti Wild onto a random number of reels before calculating any wins and continuing the round. This bonus carries an improved chance of landing 4 Stacked Yeti Wilds.

Scuba Diving Free Spins – The most volatile of the choices uses the Shark symbol with Re-Spins. The Yeti bears his scuba gear for each spin of the bonus with any shark symbols sticking on the reels to grant a Re-spin. Should another shark land, then another Re-spin continues and this repeats up to a maximum of 24 or until no more sharks land, thus ending the sequence and calculating any wins before continuing any remaining spins of the round.

Final Verdict

This review has been formulated from the Hotel Yeti-Way game sheet, courtesy of Play’n GO. We will update in due course following demo play but hopefully, first impressions last, as we can’t wait to give this one a try; 3 random features and 3 Free Spins modes is an attractive proposition. The game seems well packaged, like most Play’n GO titles, with a cool Yeti theme.

Personally, I prefer to see additional ways in explosive animations rather than with an x2 at the top of the reel, but still, judgement reserved for demo play, and we are grateful for an early peek. Of course, with any Play’n GO slot, consider which RTP version you will be playing. Fingers crossed it’s a 5-star accreditation from the tourist board for Hotel Yeti-Way.
