Polar Heatwave

Theme & Atmosphere

Looks like a cartoon you’d hand to a kid. Then it slaps like sunburn on day one. Light spills in over ice that’s already cracking. Snow’s drifting, but the grid’s just floating there. At first, the animals look dressed for the cold. Then the Sun shows up, and they start shedding coats. It’s not for you. It’s not for drama. It’s just heat doing what heat does.

Feature Overview

Polar Heatwave plays cold but burns quick. You start in the freeze, dead winter, 10 Paylines, and animal symbols still wearing coats. Then the suns hit. Three or more Bonus symbols light the fuse and send you into Free Spins, that’s when the temperature starts rising. Literally. Each Bonus collected moves the thermometer up from -20°C. Every four notches unlocks a new level with a new feature.  Level 1 locks in a Sticky Reel, level 2 throws in a Multiplier. By the time you hit zero, it’s not the same grid. Heat stacks, features fold. Nothing stays still.

Technical Specs & Mechanics

It’s a 5x3 grid, 10 fixed lines, pays left to right, no surprises there. Bets start at 0.20, cap at 90, twelve coin steps in between. Wilds are penguins. Cute, but they only land on 2, 3, and 4 during base play. Suns are your Bonus, show up anywhere. Land three, you're in Free Spins.

From there, it's a climb. Every four Suns moves you up. More spins. More modifiers. Less mercy.

It turns the dial until the Reel snaps.

Bet & Paytable Analysis

Card suits run the floor - diamonds, hearts, clubs, spades. They top out at 150x and barely hold weight. Seagull’s got some teeth, Seal hits a little harder, 300x and 450x if you line them right. Polar Bear sits up top, 1,000x clean. Doesn’t show up often, but when it does, it makes noise. Wilds don’t pay alone, but when they sub, they punch through. Get them sticky and they start pulling weight. Suns don’t pay either. They just burn the structure down. Line wins multiply by coin value, only the highest line counts. The rest? Just almosts. And the grid doesn’t pay for almosts.
