Ice Queen Slot Machine
In a frozen land, far far away, sits a queen on her throne. Your quest, should you choose to accept it, will take you on a voyage through some of the coldest lands on earth where a hidden fortune is waiting to be triggered. Novomatic, together with Big Wave Gaming, invites you to splash out from 50 to 10,000 coins on the Ice Queen slot machine where you can bag some cool cash and great features. With its 5 reels and 243 ways to win in every spin, you could trigger free spins, wilds, a maximum base game win of 400,000 coins and not one – but 2 progressive jackpots.
Chill Out
The Ice Queen slot machine is cool – literally, due to it being set in a huge slab of ice. To the top right of the reels are the two progressive jackpots of mini and maxi that are ticking over with huge cash. Look beyond the symbols on the reels and you will see snowflakes, these have a big impact during the bonus game. Use the control panel adjust bets, monitor your bankroll, view the paytable, activate the autoplay feature or spin the reels. Symbols that you will find on the reels are an ice queen, snow owl, block of ice, frozen lily, royal sled, broach and card values from 9 through to A.
Cool Cash Prizes
With Ice Queen being a progressive jackpot slot machine, the maximum cash that you can trigger is unknown – purely because the pots grow and grow with every spin. Base game wins however, are set at a standard rate – high rollers placing 10,000 coins (this is 100.00 in cash), can trigger a top prize of 400,00 coins (400.00) – 5 of a kind of the snow owls will award this.
High value symbols are the broach with up to 200,000 coins, the frozen lily with up to 160,000 coins and the royal sled with up to 100,000 coins. Low value symbols are those card values which offer 40,000 each for a win line full of symbols.
Triggering bonuses
Wilds can be found on the reels, these are represented by the Ice Queen symbol and they replace all other symbols on the reels (except the ice cube) – any win that features a wild will activate 2 free spins. Gamble allows you to exchange your base game win for more money – sounds great, but this is a 50/50 game of chance so a wrong guess will result in you losing your money. Red or black for the face-down card is what stands between you and winning more or losing.
There is one other feature on offer, this is the Cubes of Fortune bonus and this is where you can gather free spins, multipliers and even the progressive jackpots. Should you be lucky enough to spin in 3 or more ice cube symbols, you will be awarded 8 free spins. From those ice cubes that triggered the free spins, you will be able to pick from them to potentially reveal the following:
- 0 snowflakes awards 3 extra free spins
- 1 snowflake awards a 1x multiplier
- 2 snowflakes awards a 2x multiplier
- 3 snowflakes triggers the mini progressive jackpot
- 4 snowflakes triggers the maxi progressive jackpot.
Low Wins, Big Value
Base game wins are very small in comparison to what you have to stake – 10,000 coins (100.00) just to win a max of 400,000 coins (400.00) is pretty mean in our view, but the inclusion of progressive jackpots more than makes up for that. The graphics of this medium variance slot are basic and very childlike – resembles something from a cartoon, but its bright and bold nonetheless. Wins can be triggered often, this is good news to those of you who like the thrill of regular wins. The free spins feature is a mysterious one, because not only are you awarded 8 free spins, but those blocks of ice can potentially award more and then, should you land a wild win on the reels, you will trigger another 2 free spins.
You can accumulate big bucks from the free spins – thanks to all wins being tripled, so don’t expect them to fall onto the reels too often. When we played, we managed to turn our 10,000 coin stake into well over 800,000 coins via free spins, but this was short-lived, because we didn’t trigger them again and we were playing for well over an hour.
