The Yeti is a legendary creature which is supposed to live somewhere in the Himalayas. Also known as the Abominable Snowman, Sasquatch and Bigfoot, the Yeti is said to be a large creature which walks upright like a human being, but is less evolved. Indeed, some believers in the Yeti have proposed that it could be a ‘missing link’ between human beings and our more apelike ancestors. Little evidence for the existence of the Yeti has been found, however, other than large footprints in the snow and anecdotal testimonies from a few eyewitnesses who claim to have seen the creature in person.
Despite this lack of evidence, or perhaps because of it, the Yeti is almost as famous as the Loch Ness Monster, and the mysterious creature has inspired a number of books, movies and video games. The creature also looks set to become a big hit with online slots players thanks to its starring role in a new title from Yggdrasil Gaming called 9k Yeti – a name derived from the fact that the game is capable of paying out over 9,000 times your stake.
Behold the Bigfoot!
9k Yeti is a six-reel game with four rows, giving you 4,096 ways to win on each and every spin. The game takes place in the Himalayan Mountains, and the ice-framed reels are occupied by symbols that include the playing card ranks of 10, J, Q, K and A, a climbing rope, an ice axe, an expedition tent, two explorers, the Yeti himself, an Everest wild and a footprint scatter.
The graphics in this game are impressive. Whilst you might assume that if you’ve seen one slot set in the Himalayas you’ve might as well have seen them all, that assumption would be wrong. The portrayal of the mountainous landscape is superb, and you will even see a string of coloured flags on either side of the frozen reels. Those are Tibetan prayer flags, and they are there because the northern side of the Himalayas is still home to a number of Tibetan temples. It’s a tiny visual detail, for sure, but one which shows just how much thought has gone into this game.
As you climb Mount Everest in search of the Yeti, you will be accompanied by an atmospheric soundtrack which combines a driving orchestral theme with authentic Himalayan flourishes. Audio effects are equally good, and you won’t need to listen too closely to hear the roar of the Yeti whenever he helps you to land a winning combination.
Free Spins Feature
The main feature in 9k Yeti is the Free Spins feature, which you can trigger by getting three or more footprint symbols on the reels at the same time. The number of free spins that you will receive will depend on the number of footprints which triggered the feature, as follows:
3 footprint symbols will give you 8 free spins
4 footprint symbols will give you 15 free spins
5 footprint symbols will give you 40 free spins
6 footprint symbols will give you 88 free spins
In addition, if you get another 3, 4, 5 or 6 footprints symbols on the reels at the same time whilst you are enjoying your free spins, you will receive an extra 5, 8, 15 or 50 free spins, accordingly. You can receive additional free spins in this way multiple times and – if you are lucky – enjoy up to 880 free spins from just one triggering of the main feature.
Snowstorm Feature
During the Free Spins round, losing spins can be turned into winning ones thanks to something called the Snowstorm feature. This is triggered when you get a losing free spin with both the Mount Everest and the Yeti on the reels, and the subsequent snowstorm will see the symbols get rearranged to make a winning combination. If only all snowstorms could be so generous!
Big in Every Respect
9k Yeti is a larger than life game which is big in every respect. It is high in volatility, has a massive Return to Player percentage (97%) and boasts a top prize of over 9,000 times your stake.
