Yeti: Battle of Greenhat Peak Slot review

A battle between a Yeti and a Bavarian man takes place in this Thunderkick slot machine, a very unusual story unfolding before your eyes.

Yeti: Battle of Greenhat Peak is one of those unusual slot machines that nobody else has tried, so I will give Thunderkick points for originality. The Yeti is shown as an almost mythical creature here, a weird one with white fur and golden horns. The other main character of the game is a mountain man from Germany, sporting a green Bavarian hat and the related outfit, as well as a huge moustache. You can add a Golden Carrot as well to this unusual list, another feature trigger that is available, but the rest of the symbols range from playing cards to fruits that are unrelated to the theme. It’s a shame that Thunderkick made such an effort in this game, only to go lazy when it came to the slot’s symbols.

For the 5 reels of Yeti, Thunderkick created 11 fixed pay lines. Among the major features that they implemented inside, there are bonus games with sticky wilds, Wild Attack spins and regular wilds. There is a 96.1% RTP and a $3,500 top win.

This is a game with 11 lines, which allows for betting to start at $0.10, and to have a maximum value of $100 per spin. There is no mention of a line bet, or what that would look like.

The Bavarian Man will be the replacement, so you may use it in any regular combo that you form, if it appears in an appropriate position. It doesn’t replace a bonus symbol. Should three or more wilds occupy positions on a line and form their own win, they pay as much as $3,500, so the game’s jackpot.

Wild Attack will be activated if two Golden Carrots show up on the reels, as scatters. The Wild Attack meter goes up for each bonus symbol that appears. Once you get three, you receive 2 free spins and a random sticky wild. Get the full meter, to trigger 5 extra free spins. Up to 31 free spins can be obtained in the bonus game. Wilds become locked if they land on the reels.

Three or more scattered Golden Carrots give you 10, 15 or 20 free spins.

Yeti is a game with a good idea, complex features and a design that doesn’t go far enough with its choice of symbols. A reasonable game otherwise, just not a great one.
