Icy Wilds Slot Review

Not all of us are lucky to witness the beauty of the Northern Lights. But those you have, agree that it’s one of the most amazing things they’ve ever seen. What are actually those bright dancing lights? They are defined as collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. IGT have decided to use these lights as an inspiration for their Icy Wilds slots and have done an incredible job. Keep reading to find out more!

Icy Wilds Overview

Icy Wilds slots has five reels and 50 paylines. Playable from 50p to £1,000 per spin across all HTML5 compatible devices (including laptops, PCs, Android and iOS), this ice-themed game features stacked wild reels and a generous free spins round.

When you load Icy Wilds, you’ll see some snow-capped trees with the Northern Lights as its backdrop, along with clear skies and beautiful illuminations and stars. Symbols on the reels include the standard playing card icons (A, K, Q, J and 10) as well as snow owls, snow leopards, ermines and jewellery. There is also a princess symbol which appears stacked, as does the Wild which substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus Polar Bear symbol.

How To Play Icy Wilds Slots

Before you travel to the North to see those magnificent lights and meet the beautiful princess, you’ll need to set your bets. This can be done by pressing the ‘Total Bet’ button which opens a list of bets ranging from 50.00 to 50,000.00, making Icy Wilds slots perfect for both beginners, as well as high rollers. The 50 paylines are fixed, so their number cannot be changed. In order to start spinning, simply press the big circular arrow in the bottom right corner. There’s one more button bellow the reels – ‘Paytable’ and clicking it gives you information about the general rules, payouts and bonus features.

How To Win Icy Wilds

All line wins in Icy Wilds slots are multiplied by your Line Bet. So, if you land five of the playing card icons, you will be awarded 25x the bet. These are the game’s lower values. As for the higher-paying symbols, the list starts with the animals – the ermine, the owl and the leopard. These are all worth 100 times your bet per line for a five-of-a-kind combination. Landing five of the pink heart pendant or the diamond ring awards you with 125x the line bet, whereas the princess’ crown is worth 150x for five. Lastly, the princess herself pays 500 times your bet per line if you land five matching symbols on the reels.

The princess is not the only symbol that can appear stacked on the reels, In fact, all higher-value symbols can appear stacked and if any of them fills an entire reel, they will act as full stack of wilds for the next spin. After the spin, they will return to their original form.
