Penguin City - Yggdrasil
Penguin City is a unique slot machine from Swedish developer Yggdrasil, released in 2018. The slot has a playing field measuring 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 243 ways to form winning combinations.
The game's design immerses the player in the atmosphere of a Chinese restaurant, where penguins work in the kitchen under the guidance of a strict chef. The symbols on the drums include images of various dishes such as noodle boxes, soy sauce, pots and knives, and traditional 10 to ace cards. The soundtrack and graphics create an atmosphere of comedy adventure.
A feature of Penguin City is the "Penguin Escape Mode" feature, activated when a Wild character is dropped on the second or fourth reel during a winning spin. This Wild symbol becomes sticky and stays on the reels for the rest of the mode, providing repeated rotations until a new win is obtained. In escape mode, penguins can add additional sticky Wild symbols or symbols that create winning combinations.
In addition, the slot offers the "Emperor Penguin" feature, where a stack of three Wild characters appears on the third drum, guaranteeing a win with any appearance on the drums. This feature acts as a moving Wild, moving down one position after each spin until it disappears from the reels.
The slot offers a wide range of bets, ranging from 0.10 to 125 coins, making it available to various categories of players. The lack of complex bonus rounds is offset by the penguin's unique escape mechanics and additional features that greatly increase winning potential.
