Penguin Royale Slot Review

About the Game

• THE BLIZZARD BONUS. Frozen winning symbols crack and turn into Wild symbols, increasing your chances of winning!
• BREAK THE ICE. Every free spin brings a reel full of frozen symbols!
• EPIC WIN. Win up to 10,000x your bet!

Penguin Royale is a cascading game from NowNow Gaming and Hacksaw Gaming with 5 reels, 4 rows, and payouts per mode. The game takes place inside a glittering igloo, where icy reels, transforming Wilds, and growing multipliers create an explosive effect. On any spin, paying symbols can appear frozen—break them to reveal a Wild symbol for the next cascade and gain even more winning chances. Each cascade increases the multiplier, which continues to grow randomly. Activate The Blizzard Bonus, and the frost gets even harsher: at least one reel is guaranteed to be completely frozen, unleashing the powerful potential of Wild symbols!

Features

Break The Ice

Each symbol has two variants: standard and frozen. Standard symbols, when part of a winning combination, explode and disappear, making way for cascades. Frozen symbols, on the other hand, break upon a win but don’t disappear; instead, they transform into Wild symbols for the next cascade. On any spin, paying symbols (except Wild and Scatter) can appear as frozen symbols, and these symbols can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Multiplier Counter

At the top of the reels is a multiplier counter, increasing the win potential with each cascade. At the start of each spin, the win multiplier (located above the reels) starts at 1x, with the next three multipliers displayed on the right. Here’s how the multiplier mechanic works: With each cascade, the leftmost of the following multipliers is added to the current win multiplier and then removed. The remaining multipliers shift to the left, and a new multiplier appears on the right. This process repeats after each cascade. Multipliers can take any random value from the following list: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x. The multiplier resets to 1x at the start of each new base game round.

Cascading Symbols

Paid symbols are removed from the screen, and the remaining symbols cascade down. New symbols are added to the screen, replacing those removed. The main payout mechanic continues until there are no more winning combinations.

The Blizzard Bonus

Look for 3 or more Scatter symbols to activate the bonus game!

When 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols appear in the base game, they award 10, 12, and 14 free spins, respectively. The same mechanics apply as in the base game, but with the following enhancements: At the start of each free spin, one reel is randomly selected from reels 2, 3, or 4. On the selected reel, all symbols will be frozen on the first spin and in each subsequent cascade. Symbols on the remaining reels can appear either frozen or normal. When the spin ends, the selected reel returns to its normal state. A new reel is randomly selected for the next free spin. The multiplier meter works the same as in the base game. The Blizzard Bonus can be retriggered. Landing 3 Scatter symbols awards 10 additional free spins, and each subsequent Scatter symbol adds an additional 2 free spins.

Special Symbols

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols in the paytable.

Scatter symbols can appear on all reels in both the base and bonus games.

The symbol payouts shown above reflect the current bet level. The theoretical return to player percentage for this game is 96.31%. The RTP was calculated using a simulation of 10,000,000,000 spins.

Paylines

You win in the Penguin Royale slot when identical symbols appear on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. Each winning combination of identical symbols creates a winning method. The number of possible winning methods in this game is 1024. The number of each symbol required for a win is indicated in the paytable.
