Microgaming has announced it has entered into a long-term supplier agreement with game development studio, Crazy Tooth Studio.
Arctic Valor, a new six-reel, 4,096 ways online slot, has gone live as the first official game developed by the studio exclusively for Microgaming. The game summons forth fierce Valkyries and icy wins with a mythological edge.
Gleaming weapons and colourful snowflakes form a vivid set of symbols, alongside highly detailed depictions of the heroic horde of Valkyries, who are brought to life when stacked. Enhancing the frosty feel, the Falling Icicle feature sees icicles grow above the reels throughout the game. Every spin offers a chance for one or more icicles to randomly fall and crash onto the reel, covering up to three symbols each. Shattering the icicles reveals hidden treasures, with lucky players finding the symbols buried beneath transformed into wilds, or unleashing cash prizes.
Landing three or more scatter symbols pulls players into a Bonus Free Spins round where the icicles become even more dominant, plummeting through the reels over each of the seven free spins. Rewards are ramped up for players landing a full stack of Valkyrie symbols, causing the icicles above to enlarge to a maximum three-symbol height.
Ben Hoffman, president at Crazy Tooth Studio, said: “We are very excited to be working with Microgaming, whose extraordinary position in the market, diverse portfolio of excellent games and extensive list of operators will enable us to greatly diversify our capabilities and deliver our range of innovative slots and games to new audiences. We are thrilled to release Arctic Valor as our first exclusive game for Microgaming.”
David Reynolds, games publisher at Microgaming, said: “Arctic Valor provides a visually stunning journey into a land of ice and snow, complete with a fantastically vibrant, Norse-tinged atmosphere. With 4,096 ways to win, players can also look forward to smashing their way through to some truly epic rewards via the game’s unique and suspenseful icicle feature.”
