Northern Lights is a slot which was designed by Cryptologic and which has 5 reels to offer, with 9 bet lines on them. The game also offers a prize of up to $30,000, with its features consisting of wild and scatter symbols.

With Northern Lights, players are getting a view of the North Pole and the various things one might see in a visit there. Even the background image shows us what we know about it, a group of icebergs floating around, with the title's lights seen in a corner. The reels are surrounded by ice themselves, like you would expect in such a case. It's a decent design overall and while the developers did use card symbols to fill up their inventory, they at least added a bit of snow on each one to make it look more like the rest of the theme. The symbols include, besides the card icons, the images of Eskimos, polar bears, orcas, seals, igloos and the Northern Lights.

You can place a bet on Northern Lights which covers between 1 and 9 paylines, with one coin used for each one. Those 9 coins can have a value selected by the player, in the range of $0.05 to $5. Up to $45 will be used in bets, which will result in payouts of up to 6,000 coins ($30,000).

The image with the Northern Lights serves as the scatter of this slot, used to award prizes based on how many symbols have shown up on the screen. The player gets up to 5 of these scatters and he can win up to 100 times the amount he wagered during that round. The smallest possible amount which he can win is the equivalent of one bet and it requires two scatter symbols. With 3+ symbols with the Northern Lights, the players also get access to the bonus round where the player picks various icebergs and wins money (up to 2000 times the bet).

The other symbol with a big role is the polar bear. This symbol is used as the wild feature, so it will substitute for the other symbols available in the game. The symbol is also the one that will award payouts of up to 6000 coins to the players. It even pays for a single wild appearing, so you are guaranteed a win if you get one of these symbols.

It's an interesting game, with an average design but with good features and payouts.
