Review - Video Slot Yak, Yeti And Roll

Take to the tundra with two wacky companions in Video Slot Yak, Yeti & Roll the winter-themed, 5×3 cascading slot game where the next win is just a snowdrift away. Built around Betsoft ’s proprietary ‘trail system,’ Yak, Yeti & Roll sees an eccentric Inuit inventor and his faithful yeti sidekick forging a steady path across the icy plains of the Arctic. But while the reels are packed with standard seasonal symbols like igloos and yetis, Yak the Eskimo has redesigned the traditional reindeer-driven sled to traverse the snow in style. From his perch he points the way, while his Yeti pal uses pedal power to propel them forwards.

Every time a cascade triggers, the spiked wheels of the snowmobile gain traction, and the unlikely pair advance even further along the trail, unearthing frozen treasures as they go. These range from instant payouts to cumulative multipliers that apply to the next cascade win. Free spins is where the payouts really start to snowball; players can pile up huge reserves of free spins, add free-spin-specific multipliers to these, and then also apply cascade multipliers to quickly turn a small win into an earth-shaking avalanche!

Set in the Arctic circle, Video Slot Yak, Yeti and Roll invites players to join an Inuit inventor, known for his wild creations. Together with his long-suffering Yeti sidekick, they set out to traverse the wintry wastes in a very unusual vehicle.  Foregoing traditional reindeer-pulled sleighs, our Eskimo Yak has built an ornate sled to steer through the snow.  With a massive spiked wheel in front, his Yeti pal propels them forward by sheer pedal power.

Built around Betsoft ’s proprietary TRAIL SYSTEM, Yak, Yeti and Roll was designed to create a sustainably compelling player journey.  As our party crosses the ice fields, a constant trail of green, yellow, and white gems move across the bottom of the screen, advancing with each cascade of symbols that enter the reels.  As the spiked wheel of the sled rolls over a gem, it is crushed into the snow and the player earns a prize from a pool containing instant cash, cumulative cascade multipliers, and free spins with a maximum win of 200X their total bet.

Released right at the beginning of the holidays, Yak, Yeti and Roll is packed with seasonal spirit.  A whimsical soundtrack follows the unlikely duo across the icy wastes, joined by festival symbols like warm mittens, a ribbon-bedecked reindeer, an inviting igloo, and a pack of snow-speckled huskies.

The wins really start to snowball in Yak, Yeti and Roll’s free spins feature.  Players can build up big reserves of free spins on the trail, add free-spin-specific multipliers, then also apply cascade multipliers to quickly turn a small payout into an earth-shaking avalanche.  As with all new Betsoft games, Yak, Yeti and Roll offers players freedom of choice with a feature-buy-in mechanic, allowing them to trigger free spins otherwise only available from the trail and improve their win potential on demand.

"Video SlotYak, Yeti and Roll is releasing at an exciting time,” says Annamaria Anastasi, Marketing Director for Betsoft.  Not tied to any particular celebration, the game is designed to evoke feelings of warmth in winter, which are common across the entire holiday season.  We built that atmosphere with larger-than-life characters, jolly artwork, a wonderful soundtrack, and a clear paytable creating a game with the broadest possible appeal for winter 2018/19 and beyond.  At the same time, Yak, Yeti and Roll comes at a vital juncture for Betsoft, incorporating our full range of newly-developed proprietary technologies.  We have also just released our genre-redefining Max Quest title, and Yak, Yeti and Roll demonstrates that, as well as introducing all-new experiences, we also lead the industry in character-driven traditional slots.”

Like all recent Betsoft games, Video Slot Yak, Yeti and Roll was built in the company’s cross-platform SHIFT development environment, which guarantees that the same great gameplay reaches players on whatever device they choose.
