Crystal Quest: Frostlands Slot

Crystal Quest: Frostlands Slot Review

The best way to think of our demo game is to see it as a simulation of the real thing – but first you need to read the instruction manual, and that’s where our Crystal Quest: Frostlands slot machine review comes in handy. This game comes with a number of unusual features and doesn’t play like a typical online slot, so it’s well worth giving yourself some valuable extra knowledge up-front and we’ve spent several hours getting to know the icy fantasy forest that this adventure takes place in, so you can become an expert immediately.

Crystal Quest: Frostlands Theme
This slot is set in a frozen winter wonderland, but there are no cuddly reindeer or polar bears waiting for you here. Instead, there’s a yeti and a scary-looking overlord that wouldn’t look out of place in a Marvel thriller – but don’t worry: When they appear, they won’t harm you – quite the opposite in fact, as they’re very valuable symbols. They’re accompanied on the reel by various gemstones, hidden deep within the crystalline geology that covers the playing grid. 

Betting Options 
If you’re looking to get a feel for this game then smaller bets can be made from just $0.10, though you’ll probably want to scale things up once you realise how much fun this game is. We certainly did when we were collecting data for our Crystal Quest: Frostlands review and enjoyed playing at the maximum $100 per spin level for quite a while.

Changing your bet size is easy: just click the chip button in the bottom right of the screen and you’ll be able to pick from various bet options.

Bonus Features
The first thing to watch out for here is what Thunderkick refer to as their Avalanche feature – better known as Tumbling or Cascading Reels. If you’ve played games like NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest or IGT’s Da Vinci Diamonds you’ll know what this is all about, but it’s pretty simple: Essentially, symbols on all winning paylines explode into dust and the symbols above them fall into their place, for more potential wins. This process will continue until no more winning lines are formed, making it very exciting and potentially highly lucrative.

Tied in with the Avalanche feature is a dynamic multiplier that raises up a notch with every successive avalanche. This is uncapped and only resets back to a single win when a round of avalanches comes to an end, so do keep an eye out for those winning lines, as they’ll often lead to something spectacular. 

Thunderkick’s design team must have been in a celebratory mood when they added the Massive symbols to this game. This is the sort of thing you normally only see in a free spins bonus round, but in this adventure extra-large symbols measuring 2×2 or 3×3 can appear in the base game, landing below an initial avalanche and crushing the symbols beneath them. 

That’s not to say, however, that there isn’t a great bonus round as well – because there is. Land 3 or more treasure chest scatter symbols anywhere on the reels at once and you’ll trigger 12 free spins. These are re-triggerable too, though the key attraction here is the Wild Explosion feature. Any spin during your free games that doesn’t deliver a win but contains at least one wild on the reels will see that wild explode and eliminate all symbols on the row and column that it sits in. This sets off more avalanches, and gives you a great chance at bagging a prize. 

Crystal Quest: Frostlands Maximum Win
With a maximum win of 15,000x your bet to be played for there’s a chance to win up to $1.5 million in this amazing, icy extravaganza. Your path to success may be somewhat slippery, but that’s what makes this innovative creation such fun to play – and we can guarantee that once you’ve developed a taste for this game your enthusiasm won’t be about to melt away any time soon. 

Is Crystal Quest: Frostlands Worth Playing and Who Should Play It?
Thunderkick don’t make formulaic slots, so anything they produce is well worth a look – especially when it’s one of a series and has a reputation to live up to. Gemma’s latest adventure shows that her star is still shining brightly and after a few spins you’ll be keen to join forces with her as often as possible. 

Anyone particularly fond of the Cascading / Tumbling reel format will find this slot especially pleasing; if you’re short of time and want something with plenty of action in the base game then it’ll also prove hard to resist.
