Northern sky slot

Northern sky video slot
Northern Lights is a mesmerising, magical and delightful sight that will impress you. The fantastic beauty of Northern sky slot from Quickspin will move you to the world of gems and the north pole. This game will show you the incredible beauty of Scandinavia. As you know, tourists from all over the world come to admire the unusual phenomenon of the Northern Lights. But you can do it completely free and do not wear a warm coat, because the design of this slot looks real.

During the game process, you are being waited for the re-spins and free spins features. The developer decided to give this machine only 9 pay lines and the highest-paid combination will give you 4000 coins. But the RTP (return to player percentage) is at the level of 96.57%. We would like to offer you to learn more about the rules that operate in the game.

Review and recommendations from the testing team

  • Northern Sky slot is not very popular among players, even with the fact that it has a higher payout potential than some of the more popular slots.
  • This is most likely happening because, the slot doesn’t have very interesting gameplay, only the re-spin feature and free spins are here and do not have wild symbols at all.
  • In the usual spins, any payment combination triggers the re-spin feature, they will be paid and locked in place. The non-winning symbols will be removed and new symbols will fall in their places. New symbols that are part of or make a new payment combination will pay and it will be re-spin again.
  • re-triggered spins with the replacement of symbols will continue until a new payment combination appears on the reels. A big plus here is that the symbols are not just gathered and paid at the end of the re-spins, but the combinations are paid at each re-spin, which can bring huge total wins. Most of the spins winnings are close to the bet size and sometimes reach only several bets (while making some series of no-win spins) because of the small number of pay lines (there are only 9). Sometimes the slot still gives out bigger wins in the range of 20x-60x bets. While playing usual spins Northern Sky, have a good potential for triggering bigger wins, and during testing, it was possible to get 150x-230x total bets.
  • Northern sky is very good when we talk about the triggering of the free spins, in this slot, there is no need to get 3 scatter in the same spin since in this slot they are collected during all re-spins. So, the Northern sky can first give out only 1 or 2 scatter symbols and add the rest (to make 3) in re-spins. There is another very good thing inside free spins - only the most expensive symbols are part of them (animal symbols). Other than this the gameplay during free spins is no different from the usual spins of the slot.
  • Even with the fact that in most free spins features the winnings are within 30x-70x bets, and less often within 15x-25x, Northern Sky slot very often gives out huge winnings of 100x-180x total bets, and the maximum payout was more than 300x bets (the maximum recorded by the provider was more than 400x).

Northern sky is still not recommended to play with bonus money, because of the small number of pay lines, sometimes making a long series of spins without payment combinations and its bad balance keeping. While playing for real money, it is very effective to use a progressive betting strategy, while playing not only short but also a longer gaming session, waiting for the slot until it gives you a huge win.

Personal testers opinion

According to statistics, which I managed to collect during my testing, this slot machine can give the big winning, but most often they occur in the bonus game. My average payment was 86 coins in free spins. It is a good figure. Moreover, every 167th spin gives out a combination of 3 bonus symbols. Despite a lot of benefits, the only disadvantage of the online slot is a low rating to complete the bonus requirements. That's why, I give only neutral recommendations about the game for the real money; wagering - 4.79 out of 10.

Hidden parameters and settings of the slot (data from testing)

  • The frequency of triggering the bonus is statistically, every 167th spin (0,60%).
  • The probability of a hit (any winning) is 17,60%.
  • The distribution of the winnings is 58% in the usual spins and 42% in the bonus feature.
  • The maximum payout during the tests was 277x.
  • The average winning from the bonus was 86x.
  • Volatility - 7,18 out of 20 (high).
  • The cycle length - long.
  • The rating of the slot machine for the wagering is 4,79 out of 10.
  • RTP of 96,57% allows getting a positive mathematical expectation at the casino.

The “Re-spins” feature

  • Any pay line of the symbols will trigger the bonus feature.
  • All the pay combinations will be fixed and paid.
  • The symbols that did not bring any payment will be deleted.
  • The new symbols will appear instead of these.
  • If they gave the winning, another re-spin is triggered.
  • It can continue until the pay lines are created.
  • If the new symbols do not reward you, the bonus feature will end.

The “Free Spins” feature

  • The northern Lights symbol is the bonus symbol.
  • 3 such symbols will launch 10 free spins.
  • The number of the collected bonus symbols will be shown on the special counter.
  • Only the high-paid symbols participate in the bonus spins.
  • Extending free spins is impossible.

Symbols and payments for them

You can play at 9 fixed pay lines. The minimum bet is 0.20 coins, and the maximum is 100 coins. If you want to get the winning, you should collect at least 3 identical symbols on any of the lines by starting with the leftmost reel. You will find the final rewards with the current stake in the paytable. Here we will tell you everything about the winnings that are available while playing at the stake of 100 coins.

  • Northern Deer will payout from 200 to 4000 coins.
  • Bear will give out 100, 200 or 1000 coins.
  • Wolf can deposit the account by 50-500 coins.
  • Owl will return up to 400 coins.
  • The symbols of precious stones of different colours became the low-paid combinations of the symbols. You will get no more than 200 coins for them.

Settings

  • Advice. You should not look at low coefficients for the pay lines. Due to the special function that is called “Re-spins”, the number of the pay combinations will be higher.
  • The RTP (return to player percentage) is equal to 96.57%.
  • Pay lines – 9 (fixed).
  • The maximum reward is 4000 coins.
  • Special functions - yes, the “Re-spins” feature.
  • Free spins - yes. You are being waited for the 10 free spins feature with the highly paid symbols.
  • Recommendations. We do not advise that you hurry to make the high stakes. The empty spins often fall out here. At first, it is better to test this slot, and after that, you can start making real bets.
