Cabin Fever is the complete opposite of what you’d expect. The designers have created a welcome and fun filled atmosphere for players by combining entertaining graphics with wild icons, free spins, scatters and a 5,000 coin jackpot. A slot like this certainly sounds like it would stave off Cabin Fever for a few hours, we took a look to see what else it had to offer.

Cabin Fever Slot Theme

Cabin Fever is a term given to the feeling of claustrophobia when cooped up inside for a long time. This slot pokes a little fun at the phenomena by presenting various iced up icons within a log cabin frame.

A cabin ‘upright’ is placed either side of the reels which houses the number of coins in play at that time (by default 10). These are equally cheerful as the reel graphics whilst the buttons beneath use an icy blue and gold color scheme.

Each of the animated reel icons largely relates to the activities of a bear family snowbound in their cabin. A baby bear bangs on saucepan drums, mother bear is on the phone, papa bear sits in a hot tub and siblings wrestle with each other over the television remote. Other icons include foraging squirrels, wilds, plums, limes, sunshine, melon slices and oranges.

A constant soundtrack plays wind and stormy sound effects when the reels are static. The gusting sound is louder when the reels are spinning and various other themed effects are used in combination with traditional ones throughout gameplay.

Betting Options and More Functions

Players are able to select from a 0.01 to £/$/€100 betting range via coin value, line changes and multiple coins (up to ten).

A button labelled expert mode will add an auto-play function to the reels. This is ideal for players wanting to play 5, 10 or indeed any number of spins up to 500 without the need to press the spin button.

This is one of the microgaming slots to include a gamble function. Each win gained can be doubled by guessing the next cards suit color. Should you get it wrong you’ll lose all your winnings.

Cabin Fever Slot Features

The frosty wild icon can appear on any reel, substitute for any icon and doubles any win it is involved in. This is one of a handful of animated graphics, so is one to look out for.

The grumpy sun (we told you it was a quirky slot) must appear on reels 1 and 5 to award twenty free spins. These spins all contain the added benefit of a double multiplier too.

The hungry squirrel will award 1x, 2x, 15x or 200x your total bet when 2, 3, 4 or 5 appear on the reels. This symbol is fairly active paying out smaller wins here and there.

Our Take on the Cabin Fever Slot

Cabin Fever is an unlikely theme for a video slot which has worked out very well. The cute and cuddly nature of the graphics combined with free spins, wilds and scatters provides plenty of action on the reels.
