The Ice Fishing casino has recently introduced a new addition to its portfolio of online slots – "Ice Fishing". This frosty-themed reel is designed for those who enjoy fishing in cold climates and are looking for a challenging yet rewarding slot experience. As we dive into the details, it becomes clear that this game offers an immersive experience that will keep you engaged from start to finish.
Theme and Design
The Ice Fishing slot takes place on a frozen lake surrounded by towering mountains, with fishermen ice fishing through holes in the icy casino surface. The reels are framed with icicles, adding a touch of frosty realism to the visuals. The overall design is modern yet simplistic, making it appealing to both beginners and seasoned players.
Symbols
The game features 10 standard symbols that are categorized into two groups: low-paying and high-paying. Low-paying symbols include snowflakes, ice picks, fishing nets, ice skates, hockey sticks, footballs, and potted plants, each contributing up to 0.3x the bet amount for five of a kind combinations. High-paying symbols include fishermen ice-fishing through holes in the ice (5 times return), fish swimming in icy waters (5 times the stake for four of a kind or higher), and three golden coins stacked one on top of another, which reward up to 10 times the bet if three appear simultaneously.
Payouts
The game’s payouts follow an average of around x2000 your total wager. The free spin bonus offers significant rewards due to its potential for expanding wild reels. The base game is also generous with its standard win rate thanks in part to medium-high RTP and well-balanced volatility levels, making this slot more enjoyable than some others we’ve reviewed.
Wilds
In the main game, ice pick symbols act as a regular wild, substituting all other paying symbols (but not scatter or free spin trigger icons). When they appear on reels two through four, stacked with either fisherman or potted plant, you’ll get five consecutive wins. No multiplier is awarded during these instances.
Scatters
The game’s only real scatter symbol appears in the form of three golden coins aligned left to right across any reel set starting from the middle row and spanning over one position beyond it (third column). This unique feature creates multiple winning opportunities for each coin arrangement as part of other special features.
Bonus Features
Here are some details about what happens when you get a certain number of gold coin scatters:
-
Landing 2 coins rewards 10 Free Spins, with the first spin starting on Reel Set A and subsequent ones appearing progressively further to right side.
-
Winning three golden coins awards twenty-five (25) bonus rounds offering increased returns for hits in addition to free game mode wins multiplied fivefold each when a full reel of all six is activated.
Free Spins
The base gameplay has been tweaked slightly during the Ice Fishing Bonus round allowing extra cash payouts even while your spins go on thanks to its very unique feature that offers an expanding wild system.
