Wild Symbols

The "Icebound Jackpot Frenzy" slot machine has a dedicated Wild symbol represented by a fisherman icon. The Wild can substitute for any other regular symbol (except Scatter) in winning combinations, increasing players’ chances of landing payouts. When multiple Wild symbols appear on the reels, they create new, extended win lines.

Scatter Symbols

The "Ice" symbol is designated as the game’s Scatter. It appears only on reels 1 and 5 and triggers the "Free Fishing Bonus" when three or more Scatters are landed anywhere in view (horizontally aligned). During Free Fishing, a random number of Free Spins will be awarded between 10 to 100.

Bonus Features

The slot machine’s primary feature is its Progressive Jackpot system. The Grand Jackpot and Mini Jackpot can be won randomly by landing the maximum combination on any winning line, which triggers a payout of up to €250,000 (or equivalent value in the player’s chosen currency).

In addition to this lucrative option, players are also treated to regular wins from the game’s numerous bonus features:

• Free Fishing: Awarded when 3 or more Scatters appear anywhere on reels 1 and 5.
• Ice Bound Bonus: A multiplier feature applied during Free Spins
• Cash Jackpot: Can be triggered randomly on any winning combination.

Free Spins

As mentioned earlier, three or more Scatter "Ice" symbols will activate the Free Fishing Bonus. This rounds up to a random number of free spins between 10 and 100, which may have the Ice Bound Multiplier feature applied.

Players should note that wins during this round are not accumulated but reset after each spin.

Return to Player (RTP)

Volatility

This slot machine’s volatility rating falls within a medium-to-high range, which typically means there are fewer but larger wins for those willing to take greater risks.
