the great icescape slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

The release of the Ice Age franchise of movies sparked somewhat of a major interest in the theme of a part frozen planet, so it came as little surprise to see the online slot world jump on the bandwagon and start to create games that would resonate further with players. One of the better-known titles to take this theme on is Iron Dog Studios 1 Million Megaways BC, but not to be outdone in this niche and developing their own outstanding slot, we also have PG Soft, with their fantastic game The Great Icescape. So, let's find out what this game can pay.

Starting at the top of the paytable, we have the Penguin, which pays 20x bet for a five of a kind win. The remaining three premium value symbols are different species of fish, awarding 12x, 10x, and 8x, respectively, for a completed line of five. Dropping down to the lower pays, we find six royal symbols with the Ace valued at 2x, the King at 1.6x, a Queen at 1.4x, the Jack returning 1.2x, and finally, the Ten and Nine paying 1x and 0.8x, respectively, for a winning combo of five.

Before you get the reels spinning on The Great Icescape, you'll need to select a suitable bet size. These range from a minimum of €0.25 up to a maximum of €75. Players should be able to comfortably find a stake size within this range comparable to their bankroll.

The Great Icescape slot game is played over a 5x5 reel set with the potential to unlock 3,125 ways to win. However, the game initially begins with a reel format of 1x3x5x3x1, which yields a maximum of 45 paylines for players to create a win upon. Successfully hitting a winning combination will require punters to land at least 3 matching symbols from left to right on the reels, with the win needing to start from the leftmost reel first.

the great icescape slot bonus features

The bonus respin feature is triggered on The Great Icescape online slot when all blocker symbols have been removed from the base game. Once achieved, players will be awarded a x2 win multiplier and 1 extra life. These can both be seen at the bottom of the game reels, along with their respective meters.

respin feature

As the respins begin, you will now understand why the game's symbols have either a blue or a purple background. If a win is created and contains blue symbols, the number of symbols involved will be added to the blue multiplier meter. Fill this with 10 symbols, and the value of it will increase by x1. Alternatively, filling the purple meter with 10 symbols will award you with 1 additional extra life. 

There are no limits on what value the win multiplier can reach, but players should note that when the extra life meter reaches zero, and no new winning combo is achieved, the bonus round will end.
