The vast region of Antarctica has always been an undying inspiration for slot developers. While not all ice-themed slots are an adventure on their own, Expanse Studios has hit the mark with Book of Eskimo. An exciting adventure that takes you on a trip through Alaska, it’s a slot that delivers across all areas.

Available in Meridianbet casino, Book of Eskimo can be played for free and real money. We strongly recommend trying it for free first to learn what’s been cooking in Expanse Studio’s kitchen. Book of Eskimo is a thrilling adventure through beautiful frozen landscapes that doesn’t just look great but pays nicely too.

A Wild Alaskan Adventure

The 5×3 slot game is set against a backdrop of a wild and icy Alaskan forest. The graphics are impressive. Expanse Studios has done a great job with crisp-clear symbols and great animations. It has captured the essence of the icy wilderness nicely. In addition, the tranquil soundtrack really ties it altogether, immersing players into the great atmosphere.

It doesn’t take a genius to guess what kind of symbols appear on the Book of Eskimo slot’s reels. You’ll see sleds, huskies, ice bears, a book scatter, and icy low win card royals. An igloo is the wild, with the highest-paying symbol being the Eskimo lady. The friendly white bear comes next, paying 100x your bet for 5 of a kind, half of what the Eskimo lady pays.

The base game plays just like you expect it. The slot’s layout and design make things easy for players, even newbies. A spin or two for free in Meridianbet casino will tell you everything you need to know. If you need clarification of the payouts and features, check the game’s guide. It has everything laid out for you.

Icy Bonus Features

Just like in all slots, the wild replaces symbols in winning combinations. However, land 2 or more in the Book of Eskimo slot game and you’ll trigger the Chained in Ice respins. This is the first bonus feature and as the name suggests, it’s respins you’ll be getting. On the triggering spin, all wilds will expand to cover their respective reels. You then get a respin with all wilds frozen in place, moving a position down with each spin.

If you’re lucky to land more wilds during the feature, they will be frozen in place too. Unfortunately, they won’t expand to cover reels. The respins will go on until no more wilds appear on the screen. This is a pretty lucrative special feature that can deliver big bucks if you’re lucky to land more wilds.

If you land 3 or more scatters, you will enter the free spins round. You get 7 free spins with 1 or 2 random symbols converted to special wilds before the round begins. These appear more often in the free spins round and substitute for all symbols except the scatter.

The Chained in Ice respins can be triggered from the bonus round. Combined with the free spins, this is where the slot reaches its maximum winning potential.

You can also gamble all your wins up to 5 times. It’s a double or nothing feature where you win if you guess the card color correctly. Be careful with it – you might double your wins, but you can also lose it all.

Available in Meridianbet Casino

Book of Eskimo is another excellent Expanse studio release that will appeal to all types of players. Its RTP of 96.11% is just over the industry average, and the fun special features add flair to an already exciting game.

Play it for free first in Meridianbet casino, then fund your account and play for cash which can hopefully lead to big wins.

CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6 will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.

“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”

“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”

”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.

Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.

CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.

CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
