Ice Picks Slot machine review

Ice Picks

The Ice Picks Slot combines a 5 reel layout with 20 paylines, and it also gives us features like the Free Spins, scatters or wilds. This Rival Gaming slot has a top jackpot of $22,500.

This winter themed slot takes us in an adventure in the mountains, in heavy winter weather, where we get to look for various treasures. The player goes into a cavern, where he is surrounded by ice. This slot combines elements from a few different categories, including the mountain climbing gear, the caveman remains and jewelry, but it does it well enough. Images used as symbols here include golden statues, bracelets, human skulls, stone axe, goggles, boots, helmets, ice picks, the compass, the wild wooden crate, the map and a box of jewelry.

The game's largest bet, of $50, is composed of 200 coins at $0.25 each, with 10 coins used per payline. The lowest value possible per coin is $0.01. The top jackpot is 90,000 coins, or $22,500.

The game includes plenty of features to keep the player interested, and the most interesting symbol of all is probably the top jackpot symbol. The box of jewelry will award up to 9000 times what you wagered on a single payline, so 90,000 coins at its maximum level. Five symbols have to appear in order for that to happen.

The wild symbol is another popular feature in modern Slots, though here it's letting us down a bit, by showing up only on three reels (1, 3 and 5). When it does appear though, it substitutes for any other symbol that doesn't have a special function.

Two different Bonus features exist in the game. First, we have the map, which triggers a bonus round if there are three of them (anywhere, since it's a scatter). Next, we have the ice drop feature, which requires three symbols that are frozen (regular symbols come in frozen variants) and they're the same. When you have those three identical frozen symbols, they will drop off the screen, and new symbols will appear, making it possible for new combinations to form.

The scatter symbol with its free spins is the last major feature in Ice Picks. Depending on the number of scatters that appear, the player gets a 3x multiplier, plus a number of free spins. Three scatters will give away 5 spins, four scatters give you 10 spins and five scatters award 25 spins for free.

The game is well made, well designed, with a lot of interesting features in it, so you should give it a shot.
