Al Gore would have a field day if he knew what was going on with the icy reels of Frozen Tropics? I mean, do you really need any more proof that climate change is a real thing? Pragmatic Play has turned paradise into an ice rink with its latest release and I’m not sure how to feel about it to be honest.
Ok, Pragmatic Play has delivered over and over before so I don’t want to be too harsh before having given it a shot. Perhaps my horrified initial feeling could change and Frozen Tropics is exactly what the world needs right now.
Sub-Zero Slip ‘N Slide
So, allow me to “borrow” some of these ice cubes, drop them into my Mai Tai and I will take a closer look at what this sub-zero slip ‘n slide has to offer! Stay with me!
Dress to Impress
At first it sounded horrible to even imagine the tropics being covered in ice but Mr Parrot managed to give me a glimpse of what it would be like. You’ll see that the parrot is nailing the concept of how to dress to impress. I mean, come on. This guy is an absolute stud!
Because of this, I started getting visuals in my head of how the animals would dress if they could/needed to, in order to deal with a colder climate. No, I don’t want the tropics to freeze over but you have to admit, it would be funny to see the type of outfits the animals would be rocking.
So far the graphics are great and the game uses the Tumble feature, so I’m curious to see what the game play is like.

Frozen Symbols Feature
Each of the symbols can come in 3 different stages:
- Stage 1 – Normal
- Stage 2 – Semi Frozen
- Stage 3 – Fully Frozen
The frozen symbols will not explode and disappear while you get a Tumble. Instead, they will move down to the next level. From stage 3 to 1 etc. When a normal symbol is part of a winning combination, it will leave you a multiplier. These multipliers can be very useful and can be a lot bigger than you might think.
Score Big Multipliers
So how big can the multipliers be? Normal symbols will always leave you a 1x multiplier but the big ones hide behind the Wild symbols. If you can score one of those bad boys, you can get anywhere from 5x all the way up to a mouth watering 100x!
Add ‘Em Up
The multipliers will add up and get added to your next Tumble win. I scored a Mega Win when my multiplier grew to 34x, as you can see in the image above.
Keep in mind that once you get a winless respin, your multiplier will reset.
Buy Your Free Spins
There’s an opportunity to head straight into the bonus run without having to wait for enough scatters to fall. Thanks to the Bonus Buy, you can cough up some money and be granted immediate access to the show.
You can adjust your betting level as you please but the price will always be 100x your bet. It’s pretty steep compared to some other games and I wasn’t overly interested in coughing up that kind of cash.
Frozen Tropics Free Spins
I wasn’t fortunate enough to land the 3 scatters necessary to trigger 10 Free Spins. The beauty of the bonus round is the fact that your multiplier count will not reset between spins. This means you can keep building it with each and every spin.
If for some reason you’re not satisfied with the 10 original spins, feel free to land another 3 scatters and you can look forward to having an additional 10 Free Spins in your pocket.
Frozen Tropics – Pass or Play?
So, is it worth heading to the tropics despite it offering the cold temperatures you are hoping to escape for? Believe it or not, it actually is. However, I would only do it for this particular slot and not in real life.
I like the different twist with the frozen symbols and the fun loving parrot, giving you the vibes of a magician from Las Vegas.
Pack your bags with warm clothes and buy a ticket to Kryptosino, Vave, Bitkingz or BitStarz. You’ll have a great time!
