Perhaps because of the cold temperature, the prehistoric Meerkat cannot find its favourite food (small rodents and insects), so the large eyes/striped fur/long tail adventurer has focused on a few large almonds tasty seeds instead.
Little that he knows the iceberg with several almonds is sitting atop a frozen volcano (Wild symbol). Although not extremely packed with action (it practically contains only 2 features – stacked symbols and Free Spins), the game stands out with its unusual format and paylines.
It is built with 60 winways on a 2/2/4/4/4 playing field with Low Volatility (tiny but frequent payoffs are to be expected), acceptable RTP of 95.99%, proper hit rate (of over 24%), and reasonable for a slot with this variance and cycle ultimate winning prospect of 60 000 CAD (calculated as 400x the total bet via max stake of 150 CAD).
Many low-rollers here will appreciate the low-risk rotations they can make on all 60 paylines with as little as 30 cents per spin. This is of course a piece of good news for the players on a tight budget who are content with regular wins (albeit on the smallest side) until they get to the Free Spins. However, no Multipliers or other win boosters are included there, and admittedly, the Bonus feels just like the base game.
All things considered, there is not much this KA Gaming creation has to offer unless you are an avid fan of the reduced-risk model of gaming. You can win some decent amounts, just don’t be greedy and rush with the max bet. Using small stakes and closing your session after a generous Free Spins round is the best Glacial Epoch approach.

Bonus Features of Glacial Epoch slot
- Wilds – The frozen volcano is the Wild element in this epoch. It is 1 of the 2 top-value symbols on the paytable (together with the Meerkat). It delivers 1x/3.33x/6.66x the total bet for respectively 3/4/5 on a payline. Besides, it replaces all missing basic symbols in situations where it can help to complete a winning combination. It often comes stacked in the base and the Bonus game.
- Scatters & Free Spins – The frozen almond is the Scatter in the game. It is a non-value symbol which in a combo of 3OAK at the back of the grid (the 3×4 part) plus a variation of 4 different or 4 identical symbols in the front side of the grid (the 2×2 part) brings 5 or 20 FS. Additional 5 FS can be awarded via another 3OAK Scatter combo.
