The Penguins of Madagascar movie wasn’t too long ago, and it’s clear that penguins are still a hot topic based on a recent release from popular upstart software developer Yggdrasil.Penguin City has definite touches of the Madagascar style flightless birds, but this is far from simply a slot that is trying to capitalise on a popular trend, although it probably is trying to do that a little bit.
About the slot
With five reels and 243 ways to win, Penguin City is playable from 10p to £125 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.Set in a Chinese restaurant, three penguin kitchen workers move around in the background, while being watched over by their evil overlord.The concept of the slot is that the penguins are trying to escape (sound familiar?) from their surroundings and be free.Penguin City looks exquisite, a cartoon style, perfectly executed, brings the story to life beautifully.With various noodle boxes, cooking pots, and traditional Chinese dishes making up the symbols on the reels, Yggdrasil have gone all in on the theme here, as they are wont to do.
Gameplay
Yggdrasil slots normally have a wide range of innovative features, and although the innovation is present here, there’s a disappointing number of features available.There’s only one really, and as opposed to a free spins feature, you get the Penguin Escape Mode.This features triggers with a wild landing on either the second or fourth reel, so it can trigger regularly, and you will get respins with sticky wilds until a winless spin lands.The Emperor Stacked Wild symbol can arrive on the middle reel here, guaranteeing wins until it disappears from the reels.You can win big in the Penguin Escape Mode, and its good fun, but doesn’t feel quite up to Yggdrasil’s high standard of gameplay.
