Brace for a big win arctic blast with Live 5’s latest slot release
Arctic Moon –Lock & RespinTM takes players to a frozen landscape full of wild animals but even wilder wins
Players are being taken to a winter wonderland like no other in the latest slot release from the in-demand developer, Live 5. Arctic Moon – Blizzard Lock & RespinTM is set against an icy tundra with the Arora Borealis dancing overhead.
But the reel action takes place on the 5×3 reel, 10 pay line gameboard where frozen symbols slide into play. Players can expect to find polar bears, killer whales, puffins, fishes, walruses, and low-paying K, Q, A and J Royals.
The Polar Bear symbol is Wild and substitutes for all other symbols. The Polar Bear Wild symbols can stack for some truly beastly big-win potential.
But it’s the Ice Spins that players will really want to discover. They are activated when the special Ice Spins symbol lands on reels one, three and five, triggering five Free Spins.
While the Ice Spins play out, a Colossal symbol covers the middle three reels for big win potential that can really break the ice. The five Free Spins can be re-triggered if an Ice Spins symbol lands on the middle reel at any time while the bonus is active.
Players must also keep their eyes out for the biting arctic winds that can blow in when the Lock & Respin feature is triggered. This happens when six or more of the Sun symbols land during the base game.
This sees the reel matrix change to a 5×7 grid, with the outer layer locked and the central 5×3 grid active. Moon symbols then drop and lock into place; creating lines of vertical or horizontal Moons will unlock extra grid space on the outer layer. Each Moon symbol has a Cash Pot or cash value. The reels keep respinning available positions until no new Moon symbols land for three spins in a row.
At the end of the feature, all locked symbol values will pay. There are three cashpot values that can be won – Mini (30x), Major (100x) and Mega (2,500x) and multiple cashpot values can land in the same Lock & Respin bonus round.
The game sits at the high end of the volatility scale and has RTPs of between 92% and 94% with a max win of more than 10,000x the player’s bet.
Lloyd Butler, CEO at Live 5, said: “Arctic Moon Lock & Respin takes players to a vast, frozen tundra where wild animals roam the reels. But these are beasts that can be tamed with the help of Wilds, Free Spins and of course our trademarked Lock & Respin.
“This feature in particular breaks the big-win ice and will have players on the edge of their seats as the Moon symbols land and lock and the remaining reels continue to respin.”

Feel the fear in Dracula’s Spinsanity from Silverback Gaming
Developer’s latest slot sends a shiver down the spine with bonus features including Symbol Transformations, Wilds, Respins, Free Spins and Multipliers
Get ready to enter the eerie world of Dracula’s Spinsanity, the latest spine-tingling slot release from Silverback Gaming. This is a game where mystery and fortune await, but only for those who dare to take it for a spin.
Those who do will have to hold their nerve, especially when the Veil of Darkness feature triggers. This sees the game screen darken and a mysterious mist appear with random symbols then transformed into Vampire Wild symbols.
This only occurs in the base game with between two and three symbols transformed – Wilds and Scatters can’t be transformed.
As the name of the game suggests, craziness is in the air and with the Spinsanity bonus where all reels go mad, shifting up or down to guarantee wins. The feature can appear in both the base game and Free Spins, and the Veil of Darkness can also trigger if there’s no win in the first evaluation.
There’s more…
The Blood Moon Respins occur when three or more Blood Moon symbols land on the reels with an initial three Respins awarded. The round starts with as many Coins on the reels as the bonus was triggered with, and in the same position as they were – all other positions are empty.
Blood Moon Multipliers are then brought into play with values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x or 20x. Each time a new Blood Moon lands, a Multiplier is uncovered and the Respins count is reset to three. A special Booster Moon can also appear, doubling the Multipliers of all the Moons in play.
Dracula Spinsanity serves up Free Spins, too. This happens when three or more Scatters land in the base game with eight Free Spins granted. Spinsanity can be activated during Free Spins.
Then there’s Fortune Feast – at random, two to five Bats appear on the reels during the Free Spins. The symbol the Bats land on will become the Vampire Wild symbol.
As with all Silverback Gaming slots, Dracula’s Spinsanity has been certified for launch in core North American markets including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan and Ontario, and in European jurisdictions like Malta and Italy.
Katya Machuganova, Gaming Product and Partnership Manager at Silverback Gaming, said: “Dracula’s Spinsanity has been designed to fright and thrill in equal measure and promises to get player pulses racing from the first spin to the last.
“This is a bonus-heavy slot for those brave enough to explore what it has to offer, with Symbol Transformations, Wilds, Respins, Free Spins and Multipliers all in play. Think you can survive Dracula’s Spinsanity? There’s only one way to find out.”
