Powered by Playtech, Ice Run is a colourful five reel 25 payline slot with a decidedly chilly theme.
Theme
Ice Run takes place in the Arctic with sea and ice all around. The icy atmosphere is portrayed through cool blue hues and a cheerful cartoonish style. Symbols include Eskimos, seals and fish, all of which come to life when a winning combination is spun. The male Eskimo is the wild symbol and only appears on the middle three reels, the scatter takes the form of an igloo and there is also a bonus icon of some huskies.
Ice Breaker Re-spin
If the make Eskimo wild appears on the centre of reel three, it will expand to make the reel completely wild for two re-spins. If the wild appears anywhere on reels two, three and four then it will expand before locking and giving you one re-spin.
Free Spins Feature
Ten free spins are awarded whenever three igloo scatter symbols appear on the reels. All wins during this round have a 3x multiplier applied, you can retrigger the free spins indefinitely.
Ice Run Bonus
This bonus is activated when the husky symbol appears on reel one and reel five at the same time. You’ll see a screen with a sledge and some snowmen, you have to pick which snowman you want to be hit when the sledge reaches the bottom of the slope. Once hit, each snowman will reveal a prize. If luck is on your side you might be treated to the Snowball feature, which is randomly triggered when the third snowman goes down and knocks over all the other snowmen, awarding you all the prizes. In the second part of the game, you’ll get to choose one of three igloos to win up to a five times multiplier on your winnings.
Verdict
Ice Run is cool in all senses of the word. The icy theme is made fun through cute graphics and a complementary soundtrack. The expanding wild in the Ice Breaker Re-spin feature can lead to some big wins, as the game is playable from 25p to £1,250 per spin, it caters for all budgets.
