Keep ’Em Cool Slot Review

Keep ’Em Cool Slot Overview

Keep ’Em Cool is a new casino slot from Hacksaw Gaming in a tropical setting with fruity symbols that should be kept cool. The fruits can appear in ice cubes, making them stay and award prizes up to three times on the same spin. A pig in snorkel and mask will have a lookout on the reels, but we’re not sure how much help that little pink thing is. There are also three Scatter Symbols, which can refreeze symbols, collect them in a blender for nice payouts, or trigger the Sunset Picnic Free Spins. Come with us and check out this paradise of palms and white beaches.

Keep ’Em Cool Slot Information

Keep ‘Em Cool is located on a beach, looking a lot like the scatter-pay game Hola Frutas or Slotmill’s Super Fruit Smash. A big difference is that Keep ’Em Cool has a baby pig in a snorkel, mask, and swimming gear on the beach next to the reels. In the upper left corner is a palm tree pointing out over the seawater, and a red bucket lies in the sand. You make wins by landing 5 or more symbols of the same type in clusters, connected horizontally or vertically. The game is available on mobile phones and other devices.

The lower-paying symbols are apples, bananas, oranges, and cherries. A win containing 5 symbols will give you between 0.1X and 0.3X the bet, while 21 or more award between 400X to 800X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are plum, dragon fruit, and strawberry, giving you between 0.5X and 1X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win and between 1000X and 5000X the bet for a win of 21 symbols or more. There is no Wild Symbol but three Scatter Symbols in the shape of cocktail glass, blender, and picnic basket.

Keep ’Em Cool Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Keep ’Em Cool?

You can win up to 5000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Keep ’Em Cool?

The features are Cascades, Frozen Symbols, Cocktail Glass Scatter Symbol, Blender Scatter Symbol, Picnic Basket Scatter Symbol, Sunset Picnic Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Cascades

Every time you make a win, the winning symbols will disappear while new ones fill up the grid – with the exception of fully frozen and half-frozen symbols that may stay on the reels. If you’re able to make a new win with the new setup, the involved symbols will once again vanish. The Cascades continue as long as you make new wins, all belonging to the same spin.

Frozen Symbols

Each symbol appears as fully frozen, half-frozen, or unfrozen, tucked in an ice cube, a half-ice cube, or nothing at all. All unfrozen symbols that are part of a win are removed from the reels. All unfrozen symbols that weren’t part of the win will then be removed. Fully frozen and half-frozen symbols stay on the grid, even if they’re part of a win, with the possibility of awarding more wins. Fully frozen symbols become half-frozen, and half-frozen symbols turn into unfrozen ones in the next spin.

Cocktail Glass Scatter Symbol

Making a win when a Cocktail Glass lands anywhere on the reels makes all winning symbols fully frozen. If you make wins with several symbols, they will all be refrozen. The Cocktail Glass has a maximum starting number of 5 and is removed on the next symbol removal after the last refreeze.

Blender Scatter Symbol

When the Blender Scatter Symbol lands, it randomly chooses one type of symbol and absorbs all symbols of that type from the grid. New symbols dropping in will also be collected if they are of the same type, and it continues until no more symbols of that type are visible.

The Blender always starts with a count of 2 symbols and adds 1 to its counter for every symbol it absorbs. It will pay a prize with the same value for a cluster combination of your symbol type.

Picnic Basket Scatter Symbol

The Picnic Basket Scatter Symbol can land in the base game and is collected in the meter to the right of the grid. Landing a total of 3 Baskets on a game round, counting all cascades, will trigger between 9 and 15 free spins. Each Basket reveals a number between 3 and 5, representing the number of spins you win.

Sunset Picnic Free Spins

During the Sunset Picnic Spins, there’s a higher chance of landing the Cocktail Glass and Blender. Landing additional Picnic Baskets awards between 2 and 5 extra spins per basket.

Bonus Buy

There are two things you can purchase in the Bonus Buy, with entirely different price tags. For 3X the bet, you get the Bonus Hunt Feature Spins, which increases the chances of triggering the Sunset Picnic Free Spins by 5 times. The RTP for the feature is 96.25%.

By paying 100X the bet, you buy the Sunset Picnic Free Spins straight away, to an RTP of 96.22%.

Keep ’Em Cool Slot Conclusion

Keep ‘Em Cool has the same relaxed look as Hola Frutas and Super Fruit Smash. We don’t really know how the pig ended up at this beach resort, but it seems to like it. Keep ‘Em Cool is, just like Hola Frutas, a medium-volatile slot with a max win of 5000X the bet, while Super Fruit Smash is highly volatile with a max win of 12000X the bet.

The cluster system works excellently, awarding wins when 5 or more symbols land connected, no matter where they end up on the reels. You can also expect cascades, giving you great chances of scoring several times on the same spin. Some symbols don’t even leave the grid when you make a win if they happen to be fully or half-frozen. That means the same symbols can award several wins on the same spin.

The Blender is also a cool feature, collecting one specific symbol type and paying you a win depending on how many fruits ended up in the smoothie. The free spins really don’t offer anything spectacular in comparison to the base game, but you can still scope up nice wins, and the chances of landing Cocktail Glasses and Blenders increase.

Keep ‘Em Cool from Hacksaw Gaming is a cluster-paying game where frozen symbols can stay on the grid, paying the same win several times.
