The slot machine, released by Playtech in July, 2017, transports you back in time to the age of the valiant Vikings and venerable Norse gods and invites you to take part in the quest for some rewarding prizes along the way. You are guaranteed to experience something out of the ordinary with this esoteric title paired with haunting sound effects and high-level graphic material, too.
Apart from being a pleasure for your eyes, the slot machine also delivers quite lucrative benefits thanks to interesting bonus features it brings. In spite of the fact that the slot machine doesn't include Scatter symbols, it introduces 2 Wilds that, besides substituting for other icons on the reels, come with 3x multipliers that can significantly boost you final balance.
The adventurous release is dedicated to the notorious warriors of the North, Vikings, so the slot consequently features warrior-like figures accompanied by ravens, wolves and traditional ships of the ancient era. Those are all the higher paying icons. On the other hand, the low-value symbols are represented by 5 runes acting as emblems of power, wealth, joy, victory and protection. Interestingly, there is no Scatter symbol in the game, but there are two Wilds included, Ice Wild and Hammer Wild, both significant for multiplying all your wins by 3.
The Norse-themed slot features 5 reels and 20 paylines, while the betting starts at $0.20 per spin. The coin value ranges from $0.20 to $1.00, so the maximum possible wager is $20. The top prize equals 250x your line bet.
Ice Cave also features the Autoplay button, providing players with an opportunity to sit back and relax while watching the icy show unfolding before their eyes. On top of that, the gaming interface is also home to Feature Bet button, allowing you to pay extra to improve your chances of winning big by putting Ice Wilds into play on the fifth reel. The Turbo Mode option is available as well, if you prefer fast-paced rolling.
To start getting payouts, you are required to land at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels along a payline, starting from the leftmost reel.
Every time you set the reels in motion, you are given a chance to potentially land the Ice Wild on the third and fourth reel. The great thing about this special icon is that it multiplies all your winnings by 3 and remains frozen in its place while the other symbols are spinning. They will all vanish from the screen once you manage to land the Hammer Wild symbol, which only pops up on the reel 2.
Moreover, the 2017 title additionally brings the Feature Bet that will cost you extra money, increasing your bet by 50% per spin, to be precise. It could be worth it since it will allow Ice Wilds to appear on the reel 5 as well, so as to highly boost your potential for creating long chain winnings.
Oddly enough, Playtech has decided to dispense with the Free Spins feature in Ice Cave, but you may as well choose to disregard that lack, given the winning chances that the two Wilds promise.
The great news is that the Playtech title is available on desktops, tablets and smartphones. This comes in handy for those that delight in playing their games on the move with the same high-level quality of graphics and slick animations ensured, regardless of the device you wish to use.
