9K Yeti Slot Game | 4ThePlayer Slots

4ThePlayer, in many ways, are the new kids on the block who are impressive at making video slots. They’re an indie studio here to upset the status quo by innovating at every turn and creating new ways to play, enjoy and experience slot games. And 9K Yeti is the first of their releases.

Sometimes, slot developers show their intelligence in putting games together, but even naming this slot oozes just how clued up 4ThePlayer is. The 9K part of the title is integral because it means the game will be high on an alphabetically ordered list. The height of Mount Everest is around 9K metres, and the top prize available to win in this game starts with a 9 too.

Including the yeti as the star of the show or the lead protagonist, however, you want to look at it, is a good move by 4ThePlayer because it gives players a character to focus on when they’re spinning the visuals.

The whole 9K link to Mount Everest isn’t just a gimmick, either. The backdrop of the game is made up of snowy Everest peaks, and you actually feel kind of cold when playing the game because of the great artwork.

The icons on display on the reels also push the theme forward, especially Everest-related ones, such as ice picks, tents, ropes, climbers and Sherpas. And all this is enjoyable in Big Reel Portrait Mode, where 60% of the screen will be in use, creating a more immersive and enjoyable experience over the standard 20% portrait output.

Game Features

Ideally, when you’re spinning the reels of a slot featuring yetis, Everest and snow, you want everything to knit together in the bonus rounds. And, seeing that the first feature we’re going to check out is called Snowstorm Free Spins is 4ThePlayer, showing they believe in the same approach.

A minimum of three scatters in view are required to trigger Snowstorm Free Spins. But, if there are more than three in view, it means more free spins. Players can initially grab 88 as a maximum, but that will require six scatters. It’s also a free spins bonus round that can be re-triggered, with a maximum of 880 free games available.

While playing through the free spins, landing stacks of yetis and wilds is never bad. But while this can lead to some great payouts, having yetis and wilds in play doesn’t guarantee a win. However, 4ThePlayer has thought ahead and developed what they call the Snowstorm mechanic, which you could suggest will save the day for many players.

If both the yeti and wild appear on the reels simultaneously, the Snowstorm mechanic will enter the fray and quite literally create a snowstorm. The end result of this snowstorm is symbols on the reels being blown around, resulting in a winning combination forming. Not many slots will turn a losing round into a winning one, that’s for sure.
