If you wondered whether Antarctica is hot or not, PengWins is a perfect way for you to find out. This five-reel video slot that comes with an RTP of 95.99% offers three kinds of Wild features, and some respins, simply to spice things up a bit. The center of our story is a family of Penguins that will help players land wins up to 1,200x the bet per spin. Expect Kids Expanding Wilds, Father and Mother Jumping Wilds with respins, and Giant Family Wilds. All of this and more is waiting for you at this medium to high volatility slot.
Better put your warmest clothes on, because the reels of the game are stone cold. However, the gameplay is quite hot, when you understand the rules of the 2022 release. The game comes with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 fixed paylines. To win a payout, players need to land at least three matching symbols on a payline, starting from the far-left reel. The control panel is also made of ice, so better put your mittens on, to keep your hands warm. The betting range is quite wide, appealing both to penny punters and high rollers. Wager as low as $0.20 and as high as $100 per spin. Those of you who want to sit back and let the machine do all the work have up to 100 automatic spins to activate in Autoplay.
The visuals are crisp and clear, so you will have a real impression of Antarctica. As you all know, Penguins love to swim and look for food in the cold waters, then rest on the icy shores. Well, this is what is waiting for you in the 2022 release. The Penguin family consists of Kids, Father, and Mother. They all act as Wilds that substitute for all regular icons. A Squid is a top-paying symbol, followed by a Shrimp. The rest of the icons are playing cards made of ice. There are no Scatters on offer here.
When the Kids Wild appears anywhere on the reels, it randomly becomes a Kids Expanding Wild. Kids can cover 2 or 3 positions at the same time. Kids Wild can expand both vertically and horizontally, but it always expands to a position next to it. As for the Father Wild and Mother Wild, they represent Jumping Wilds. In the Jumping Wilds feature, Mother Wild appears on the rightmost reel, and Father Wild appears on the leftmost reel. With every successive spin of the reels, both of those Wilds move one position closer to the center.
At a certain point, both Wilds will reach the middle reel. Once that happens, two of them create the Connected Wild, rewarding players with a respin, with the Connected Wild locked in its position during the respin. If, by any chance, a Kids Wild lands in a cell next to the Connected Wild during a respin, it will create a Giant Family Wild. This Wild will cover a 3x3 area, substituting for all other symbols, securing big wins for players.
PengWins does not seem like a video slot that offers plenty of action, but there is more than enough excitement to keep you busy for a while. Everything revolves around the Penguin Wild family, so try to land as many of them as you possibly can. We bet that, after taking PengWins for a spin or two, Antarctica will not seem like a cold and distant place anymore.
