Brace for a big win arctic blast with Live 5’s latest slot release
Arctic Moon –Lock & RespinTM takes players to a frozen landscape full of wild animals but even wilder wins
Players are being taken to a winter wonderland like no other in the latest slot release from the in-demand developer, Live 5. Arctic Moon – Blizzard Lock & RespinTM is set against an icy tundra with the Arora Borealis dancing overhead.
But the reel action takes place on the 5×3 reel, 10 pay line gameboard where frozen symbols slide into play. Players can expect to find polar bears, killer whales, puffins, fishes, walruses, and low-paying K, Q, A and J Royals.
The Polar Bear symbol is Wild and substitutes for all other symbols. The Polar Bear Wild symbols can stack for some truly beastly big-win potential.
But it’s the Ice Spins that players will really want to discover. They are activated when the special Ice Spins symbol lands on reels one, three and five, triggering five Free Spins.
While the Ice Spins play out, a Colossal symbol covers the middle three reels for big win potential that can really break the ice. The five Free Spins can be re-triggered if an Ice Spins symbol lands on the middle reel at any time while the bonus is active.
Players must also keep their eyes out for the biting arctic winds that can blow in when the Lock & Respin feature is triggered. This happens when six or more of the Sun symbols land during the base game.
This sees the reel matrix change to a 5×7 grid, with the outer layer locked and the central 5×3 grid active. Moon symbols then drop and lock into place; creating lines of vertical or horizontal Moons will unlock extra grid space on the outer layer. Each Moon symbol has a Cash Pot or cash value. The reels keep respinning available positions until no new Moon symbols land for three spins in a row.
At the end of the feature, all locked symbol values will pay. There are three cashpot values that can be won – Mini (30x), Major (100x) and Mega (2,500x) and multiple cashpot values can land in the same Lock & Respin bonus round.
The game sits at the high end of the volatility scale and has RTPs of between 92% and 94% with a max win of more than 10,000x the player’s bet.
Lloyd Butler, CEO at Live 5, said: “Arctic Moon Lock & Respin takes players to a vast, frozen tundra where wild animals roam the reels. But these are beasts that can be tamed with the help of Wilds, Free Spins and of course our trademarked Lock & Respin.
“This feature in particular breaks the big-win ice and will have players on the edge of their seats as the Moon symbols land and lock and the remaining reels continue to respin.”

Peru and Brazil to provide launchpad for Latam expansion as ThrillTech strengthens presence in emerging regulated markets
ThrillTech, the B2B jackpot specialist, has taken a significant step forward in its international growth strategy after securing a B2B licence in Peru and regulatory certification in Brazil.
The approvals clear the path for ThrillTech to launch its proprietary player-funded jackpot solutions in Latin America for the first time, bringing its flagship ThrillPots product to one of the world’s most exciting and emerging regions for iGaming.
Latin America has become a focal point for operators in recent years, with Brazil’s market liberalisation and Peru’s structured regulatory framework, as set out by the country’s ministry of foreign trade and tourism (MINCETUR), providing fertile ground for innovative engagement tools.
By working tirelessly to secure entry into both countries, ThrillTech is positioning itself to support operators with compliant, performance-driven jackpot mechanics that can drive revenue and enhance retention.
Peter Mares, CTO and co-founder of ThrillTech, said: “Expanding into Latin America is a milestone moment for us. The region is bursting with opportunity, but it also demands solutions that are flexible, transparent, and built to scale. With a licence in Peru and certification in Brazil, we are ready to deliver the same measurable revenue impact to operators in Latam that we’ve already proven in Europe.
ThrillTech’s products are designed to provide operators with new revenue streams through side-bet jackpots, while also offering real-time engagement mechanics via cash-only rewards.
Already integrated with multiple tier-one operators in Europe, ThrillTech is now primed to replicate that success in Latam by delivering regulator-approved solutions to local operators.
