Hotel Yeti Way Review

The mythological creature said to live in the Himalayas needs a holiday too sometimes, and when the Yeti discovers a suitcase full of clothes left behind by climbers, he seizes the opportunity to head towards warmer climate. This is the humorous backstory in a nutshell, but we don’t really get why someone would bring a suitcase full of Acapulco shirts with them on a trip up such an unforgiving and dangerous mountain.

Looking past the jokes, Hotel Yeti Way is a well-balanced game that comes with a deadly serious math model. The 3 wild features can be seen as starter dishes, keeping you warm in the base game, while also giving you enough of an appetite to know which one of them you might wanna bring with you into the bonus round. With boosted win ways, the latter can award solid payouts up to 30,000x your stake.

Hotel Yeti Way Features

Wilds are central to the gameplay, and you have a regular ice wild that steps in for all pay symbols to help you form winning combos. You also have a Yeti Wild that does the same, but this one also triggers different features. In addition, both wilds pay 3x your stake when you land 6 on a payline, which is the same as the top-value shark symbol.

Whenever you land a Yeti Wild symbol anywhere in sight, you trigger 1 of 3 Yeti extreme sport wild features as follows:

• Bungee Jumping - awards 1 to 4 fully stacked wild reels.
• Surfing - awards 2 to 8 wilds randomly placed on the reels.
• Scuba Diving - gives you a respin, and you get a new respin if you land a shark symbol. This can be repeated up to 24 times at the most, and each shark symbol you land becomes sticky on the reels.

  

  This can lead to a screen full of sharks, which pays 12,288x your stake.

Hotel Yeti Way Slot - Free Spins

You trigger the Bonus Round with 8, 12, 16 or 20 free spins, respectively, whenever you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters anywhere on the same spin. You can retrigger the feature with up to 40 free spins in total. You get to choose if you want to play the Bungee Free Spins, Surfing Free Spins or Scuba Diving Free Spins. Whenever a Yeti Wild land, you get the corresponding modifier associated with the bonus round you chose up front.

The volatility is medium for the Surfing Yeti feature, medium/high for the Bungee Jumping round and plain high for the Scuba Diving free spins. No matter which option you choose, you will benefit from the Dynamic Payways system during the feature.

At least 1 random reel is selected per spin to have an x2 payway multiplier.

This effectively doubles the number of win ways on the chosen reel(s). This feature can be active on up to all 6 reels at the same time, multiplying the number of win ways with x64. This can lead to 4,096 x 64 = 262,144 win ways at the most.

Review Summary

Seemingly inspired by ELK’s excellent Tropicool, Hotel Yeti Way comes with a fun juxtaposition of summer/winter themes, as well as plenty of well-balanced and interesting features. We like how the base game gives you a taste of each of the wild modifying features up front, before you have to “get married” to one of them for the duration of the bonus round.

Scuba diving is probably the most dangerous of the 3 extreme sport options, so it makes sense that it’s also the most volatile choice. The Payway Multiplier system acts like a steroid injection, boosting the potential up to 30,000x your stake, while a solid 12,288x is also possible in the base game. Overall, this is a pretty entertaining effort, but it’s a bit annoying that you need to beware of adjustable RTP ranges.

Pros

• 3 base game wild modifier features
• 3 corresponding bonus round options
• Up to 262,144 payways in the bonus round
• Win up to 30,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
