Penguin City Slot - Yggdrasil Gaming

Reigning down from the Yggdrasil online gaming company, is the utterly adorable and quirky release of Penguin City. Yggdrasil is widely renowned for their creative twists, strong narratives and quirky characters that fully immerse you in the games, and Penguin City does just that!

Set in a Chinese food emporium, there lives a diabolical Emperor Penguin who badly manages the whole shebang and overworks the poor penguin staff! The game sets the scene of a true Chinese-noodle restaurant theme whilst mimicking the same high-level adrenaline rush of running a restaurant as well as the adrenaline rush of a whopping 243 pay-line structure!

Gameplay
The game is wholesomely thematic, from the sound design (which offers oriental style, Chinese-takeaway background music), to the symbols in use and the narrative story – this all-rounded game will have you hooked deep!

The basic onscreen symbols for the online slot machine offer 9 different varieties: the lower value symbols are illustrated as the four symbols of the playing cards – hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. The higher value icons to look out for are the meat cleaver, Chinese soup, soy sauce, noodle box and fish stew (which gorgeously fit into the Chinese takeaway theme of the game).

The highest paying symbol is the noodle box which you should look out for, but there are many alternative ways to rank up that big winning in the features, wilds and bonus combos!

Design
Apart from the overall, well-thought-out layout and use of symbols that stick with the oriental style narrative and atmosphere, Yggdrasil also makes use of high-quality 3-D animation (and the royal red and gold colour) design on the illustrations, symbols and background that further brings the extends the immersive-ness and realness of the game – it’s hard not to appreciate the effort and thought that went into this design.

To further add to the experience, the background takes you on a journey from a Chinese market, to the inside of the noodle shop’s kitchen, as you further in the slot-game, thus making it more interactive and fun to explore all the features and bonus combinations that the game offers!

Special Features
Penguin City online slots offers 3 added features that further your chances of higher winnings: Wilds, Penguin Escape Mode and Stacked Emperor Wild. If you land on a wild symbol, the symbol becomes ‘sticky’ and stays on the screen for the next spin – then fits in with combinations in that spin. Penguin Escape Mode transports you to the noodle kitchen and calls for you to assist the penguins in escaping the kitchen, if you win, you get a sticky wild card on reel 2 & 4 or a symbol swap in reel 3, which translates a losing combo into a winning one. Stacked Emperor Wild calls for the Emperor penguin who moves down your 3rd reel, connectively turning symbols into wild ones for wining combos!

Summary
All-in-all, Penguin City is a fun, well-thought-out, well-designed and immersive slot-game that’s both fun and interesting to play, and win!
