Kodiaks Roar

Kodiak, also known as Alaskan brown bear inhabits the Northwest part of the United States West Coast.

This is why the name Kodiak's Roar seems fitting for the video slot title, which takes the American wildlife as the theme. The slot has a 5x4 grid layout with 1024 active paylines.

Created by iGaming software developer WMS this is a slot release that delivers Wilds, Scatters, and extra spins, which is to say, pretty much everything you would want in terms of features.

Theme

Have you ever been camping in Alaska? If not, this slot release surely tries its best to take you there with the backdrop depicting a beautiful forest under an early evening sky.

The slot machine made out of branches houses colorful symbols. Royals consisting of two numbers and four letters are mixed with higher-paying wild animals such as salmon, owl, fox, elk, and of course the Kodiak bear.

Music fits very well, as the slide guitar creates the perfect countryside atmosphere.

Betting Options and Functions

An interesting option that is presented to the players is the reel cost at the top right of the slot machine, which lets you choose how many reels you want to play on. They still create wins, both vertically and horizontally, but depending on selection pay x1, x5, x10, x20, or x40.

Bet per reel in coin value can be set from 0.01 to 2.50 or $0.01 to $100 in terms of cash with the maximum win being x2500 of the placed bet.

The return-to-player stands at the medium of 96.20%, with a medium to high variance.

Features

The titular Kodiak bear is a Wild that shows up in the middle three reels and substitutes for any other symbol in this title, except for the Scatter.

Scatter with the bear's paw imprint and the title of the game lands on any reels and can be awarded even if it appears on the reel that isn't active. 3 or more such symbols trigger the extra spins feature.

If 2 or more Scatters land during the extra spins, additional extra spins will be awarded.

During the extra spins bonus, Wild symbols will act as a multiplier, multiplying the total win by x2 or x3.

Our Take

The most interesting feature that allows you to deactivate certain reels, allows for better control of the game.

Most of the time, you will find yourself relying on extra spins to create bigger wins via the Wild multipliers.

In every other sense, it is a simple, but well-executed title that takes you hunting. Not the animals, though, but that big, juicy win.
