Do you like winter sports? Do you prefer skiing or snowboarding? What about trying something more extreme? Grab your pickaxe and break the ice with “Ice Picks” slot. Heli-Board into the Himalayas to hunt for hidden treasures in a long lost frozen cavern.
“Ice Picks” is a 5-reel, 20-payline slot from Rival Gaming. Instead of spinning reels, you will see symbols falling down from the top of the slot, but unfortunately it happens painfully slowly. The symbols include climbing gear - a helmet, boots, goggles, wooden crate, and a compass, as well as treasures frozen within the ice, such as ancient tools, bones, a bowl, a statue, and a treasure chest. You will see some simple animations when a winning combination is formed, but don’t expect cinematic effects.
The game offers a few special features that will make it more entertaining and give you more chances to hit a decent win.
First of all, if you hit at least 3 matching frozen icons, they will shatter and the icons above it will fall down to fill the empty spaces. This will create multi-win sequences.
Secondly, the Wild symbol in shape of a wooden box can replace any other symbol to form a winning line when possible. Wilds appear only on reels 1, 3 and 5.
Catch 3, 4 or 5 compasses to trigger 5, 10 or 25 Free Spins respectively. Free Spins have a 3x multiplier, which means that you can win big prizes in this feature.
Finally, watch out for falling ice in the Ice Picks Bonus Round when you hit 3 or more map icons. Use your pickaxe to crack open the ice and release the gems trapped inside. Chose the most valuable ice cubes and smash your way into big winnings!
All in all, “Ice Picks” is a nice slot with a variety of interesting special features, but the symbols drop from the top too slowly, which may discourage you to play it for a longer time. Will you be patient enough to give it a go?
