Siberian Storm Slot Review

Siberian Storm slots from the software development company IGT takes you on a journey to vast, cold Siberia to spin and win on this five-reel slot game. With 720 possible ways of winning, this video slot machine features some exciting technology, giving players literally hundreds of chances for landing winning combinations across the reel set. Designed with an interesting 3x4x5x4x3 grid, Siberian Storm slots stands out from the crowd as a unique game.

Overview

As is usually the case with all IGT slots, Siberian Storm slots has some incredibly designed symbols, as well as an on-theme background featuring some icy landscape. Some of the symbols in the slot are following the theme of the game, while others look like they are from the realms of fantasy.

As with most online video slots, the symbols can be divided into two groups. The group of low-paying symbols consist of three pendant-like symbols, green, purple, and blue, a tiger tooth, and an earring with an amber, listed in ascending order, all awarding certain payouts for combinations of three, four, and five matching symbols.   

The group of high-paying symbols consists of only two symbols, a white Siberian tiger and a regular Siberian tiger, in ascending order, also awarding payouts for combinations of three, four, and five matching symbols.

Siberian Storm slots also makes use of a scatter symbol and a wild, represented by game-related images with scatter and wild across them, respectively. The game’s wild symbol can only appear on reels two, three and four, substituting for all other symbols except the scatter symbol, helping players to form winning combinations.

Moreover, there’s an elusive tiger’s eye symbol that is used to trigger the game’s special feature.

How to Play

Before spinning the reel set of IGT’s Siberian Storm slots, first, you’ll need to select your total bet for the spins. This is done by using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons beneath the ‘Coin Value’ box, selecting one of the available values between 50p and £25.

There are no paylines in the game but the 720 ways to win are similar to them in the sense that the symbols must land in a certain way for you to receive a cash payout. Matching symbols need to land only on adjacent reels to contribute to a combination, plus they can go either from right to left or from left to right. Due to this, players need not select any paylines to activate, as they can always land combinations in any of the 720 ways available.

How to Win Siberian Storm

As mentioned in the sections above, there are 720 ways to win in Siberian Storm slots and this is due to IGT’s MultiWay Xtra Awards technology. What this means is that symbols must land on adjacent reels to contribute to a combination and receive a cash payout. Moreover, because combinations can start from right to left and from left to right, there are hundreds of ways to win.

The amount you’ll win for a combination depends on which symbol it is that lands. Like we said, the native ornaments are of lower value than the two tiger symbols, and the Siberian Storm slot logo is the highest in the game.

The green and purple pendants award 5, 15, and 50 for combinations of three, four, and five matching symbols; the blue pendant 5, 15, and 100; the tiger’s tooth 10, 25, and 100; and the highest paying symbol in the game is the symbol with the eye of the tiger awarding 15, 30, and 125.

Both tiger symbols award payots for landing combinations of 3, 4, and 5 matching symbols with the white Siberian tiger awarding 20, 50, and 300, and the standard Siberian tiger awarding 400, 75, and 25.

The Siberian Storm logo symbol is the highest paying symbol in Siberian Storm slots with payouts of 50, 150, and 1000 for combinations of three, four, and five matching symbols.

Bonus Features

Multiway Xtra

The Multiway Xtra feature is active throughout the game enabling wins to pay both from right to left and left to right. As long as the symbols are on adjacent reels, there’s a win, but if the symbols are in the same column as well,  a multiplier is awarded.

Free Spins

The free spins feature in Siberian Storm slots can be a little tough to land, but it can be pretty rewarding if you can.  To trigger it, you’ll need to land five of the green eye tiger symbols on five consecutive reels and you’ll be awarded 8 free spins. If you manage to land more than one winning combination of green eyes you will get another set of free spins. This way it is possible to win up to 96 free spins.

Furthermore, if you manage to land the orange tiger eye symbol (which appears only during the bonus game) you will win you another 8 free spins.  The most free spins that can be won during the bonus round is 240.

Conclusion

Siberian Storm slots is a mixture of beautiful tiger symbols along with strangely looking pendant-like symbols that are somehow connected to Siberian tigers and Siberia. Frankly, it would’ve been better if all symbols were tiger-related.

The frenetic gameplay of Siberian Storm slots, with 720 Ways to Win, making this release a high-action game where combos are frequently landed across the reels. As if this isn’t enough, the Wild symbols can often be stacked adding even more to the combo runs.

The Free Spins Bonus feature initially awards just eight spins, although the round can be retriggered. Significantly, the reel set will be stuffed with extra goodies, even on top of the already-rewarding 720 Ways to Win and Stacked Wilds. If you manage to get a few extra spins, this game will pour cash amounts into your lap.

All in all, Siberian Storm slot is still a very good slot with plenty of bonus features action keeping players returning to the Siberian wilderness again and again.
