Penguin Splash Introduction
Penguin Splash is a cool little pokie from Rabcat with a colourful host of animal characters. More importantly, there are big prizes to be won with numerous winning opportunities plus a special bonus round. With its fun features and clean graphics, this game is sure to make a splash with all fans of free pokies.
Layout
The game has five reels with three rows, laid out in a 5x3 configuration. There are 25 paylines that can be selected in series. Generous prizes are awarded to lucky players for successful two-, three-, four- and five-of-a-kind adjacent symbol matches from left to right on active paylines. In total there are 10 symbols, eight of which award prizes for symbol matches, with the remaining two being special types that provide substitutes and free spins.
The highest of the high-value symbols is the happy-looking whale, which is the most valuable overall. Finding five of these on an active payline will result in a large maximum prize of 40,000 credits. Next up is the little polar bear, which awards smaller top prizes worth 2000 credits. Way down at the other end of the prize table is the lowly '10' symbol, which is worth 20 credits at most for finding five on the reels.
Not to worry, though, as with numerous winning opportunities and a special bonus round, even these little amounts can soon add up in a spectacular fashion.
Bonus Features
First among the special symbols is the wild fish. As the name suggests, this is wild, which means that it can be used to substitute for any other symbol except the free spin symbol (scatter) as part of a winning combination on an active payline. Although it offers no reward in itself, this clever little fish can be incredibly useful for making up a successful combo.
The second special symbol is the free spin symbol, which is a scatter and represented by a picture of a penguin. Finding three or more of these in any configuration - that is to say, regardless of selected paylines - will award players with a number of free spins equal to the number of scatter symbols present at that time, up to a maximum of 25 spins. During this time the penguins in the background will move about, possibly diving into the water.
If two penguins happen to stay on the ice during free spins, all wins are doubled! Additionally, the free spins feature can be re-triggered during the free spins themselves, which makes for even more chances to win. Of course, all of these spins are played using the total bet and the selected paylines of the regular spin that initially triggered them.
Like a number of our pokies, this game has a gamble feature which can be activated after any successful spin. Players can bet their winnings on a game of 'guess the card', where they are presented with a face-down playing card and have to guess whether it is red or black. Guessing correctly will double a player's winnings, and this feature can be played multiple times per win.
