Ice Ice Hockey

Ice Ice Hockey Review

Ice Ice Hockey, a hockey-themed slot, invites players to a thrilling hockey championship. The game is packed with features, mostly relying on Wild symbols, which are the key to winning big here. Those appear randomly on the reels and multiply your wins.

Loading the game will take you to the crowded ice arena, which serves as the backdrop to the semi-transparent 5x4 reels with 40 win lines. Design-wise, Ice Ice Hockey is rather basic and doesn't differ a lot from many other similar-styled slot games. However, it's worth noting that the graphics are pretty nice, much like the sound aspect which creates a feeling of attending a real hockey game and immerses you deeply into the action.

To start playing, bets from as little as $0.4 are required, while the highest stake option is $40, which should appeal to both high-rollers and casual players. The Ice Ice Hockey slot is powered by a medium-high volatile math model, and the default RTP is decent at 96.6%. Yet, the game has RTP ranges and the payback percentage might be lowered depending on where you play, so be sure to check the paytables before depositing. Furthermore, the return rate does affect the hit frequency and the max win as well.

As we head over to the paytable, we see 9 regular symbols, split into highs and lows. On the lower side, the pay symbols include classic A-10 card royals, while the premium lot includes four hockey players, representing Germany, the UK, the USA, and Canada national teams. You need to land at least 3 matching symbols adjacently on the reels starting from the leftmost to score a win. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth from 1.25x to 1.875x the stake, and higher-value symbols pay from 3.75x to 10x your bet. Wild symbols are also included, which are worth identically to the top-paying symbol in addition to substituting for all other regular symbols in combinations.

Ice Ice Hockey Slot Features

On any spin during the gameplay, Wilds can be randomly shot onto the reels to help you achieve wins. Moreover, they can land with a random multiplier value that is applied to all wins they take part in. If a Wild is shot to the same position more than once, the Multiplier is increased, up to 5x. In case there are multiple Wilds on a single payline, their Multiplier values are added together.

Should 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols appear anywhere in view during the base game, players will receive 7, 10, or 15 Free Spins respectively. The bonus game operates in a similar way to the base game, though, the major difference is that all Wild symbols turn sticky during the feature and remain locked on the reels for the remainder of the free games.

Those willing to skip the less exciting part and jump straight into the action can use the Buy Feature to immediately activate Free Spins. For the cost of 50x, 100x, and 250x the stake, you can buy 7, 10, and 15 spins.

Review Summary

Well, Ice Ice Hockey is not a bad slot. The visuals are dope, the gameplay is fun, and the math is pretty good. What else does a decent slot need? Although there aren't too many features laid down here, the random multiplier Wilds can turn even the worst outcome into a massive win. All said and done, Ice Ice Hockey is bound to be enjoyed by slotters into the hockey.
