Ice Cave Slot Review

Head back in time to the era of the Vikings in the Ice Cave slot game from Ash Gaming. Smash your way through the icy rooms within an undiscovered cave to win cool amounts of cash.

Ice Cave is a simple yet effective 5-reel, 20-payline slot machine from Ash Gaming. As you can probably guess by its name, the slot machine offers an icy theme – one that could leave you with shivers down your spine. Unlike other Ash Gaming titles, Ice Cave only offers a handful of features; wilds, multipliers and a feature bet – but that doesn’t mean you can’t win cool amounts of cash.

You can play Ice Cave from as little as 0.20 a spin – but if you like to bet big to win big, you can increase your bets to a maximum of 20.00. When you trigger the feature bet option – it will increase your bet slightly, so maximum stakes would then become 30.00 a turn, which isn’t bad as high stakes go (we’ve come across slot machines allowing you to bet up to 10,000 a spin!).

Voyage of Discovery

Thanks to the symbols on the reels, a story plays out – one of voyage and discovery. A male and female Viking have set sail in their ship and travelled across the vast oceans in their quest to find untold riches. They anchor off an uninhabited island and stumble upon a cave, but before they can go any further, they fall into the depths of the cave and start to shiver uncontrollably. But it’s not all doom and gloom, because within this icy pit there lies a big non-progressive jackpot. Huddle together and try to get the symbols to fall in your favour to win big.

Keep your eyes peeled because you and your Viking partner are not alone down there, because you will find the following symbols to this game; a black wolf, crow, ship, hammer, icy wild and five Greek letters carved into stone.

Brrr-Illiant Wins

There’s a top prize on offer of 250x your stake – this is awarded when five of a kind of the male Viking fall onto your payline. The female and black wolf awards less than half that of the male Viking – a 100x multiplier for a payline full.

Hidden Features?

Sadly, there are nothing but wilds on offer with this slot game. Ice wild is a freezing wild which will remain locked in place and can only be removed when a Hammer wild falls onto the second reel. The Ice wild and hammer wild will substitute for any other symbol and when they complete a winning payline, that value will be tripled.

Feature bet costs more to activate, but what does it do? When you bring this feature into play, it allows ice wilds to appear on reel 5. This feature will cost 1.5x more per spin.

Similar Icy Slots

Love the chills of ice themed slot machines and looking for cold hard cash? Arctic Madness from Pariplay is a cute online slot machine with 3 reels and 5 paylines. Crack the blocks of ice to trigger the bonus game or the progressive jackpot. Bets can be placed from 0.50 to just 5.00 in this icy slot release.

Cold Verdict

In all honesty, Ice Cave offers nothing more than wilds and a 250x multiplier jackpot. Whilst the graphics and gameplay are pleasant enough, there isn’t enough on offer to keep players entertained and wanting more. Once you’ve triggered the wilds – there’s nothing else left to get your hands on. Ice Cave is a medium variance slot machine that can cater to any size budget – but the bigger the bet, the bigger your potential return can be.

The sounds that accompany the spinning of the reels and the wins are very atmospheric, but if you don’t like them – you can switch them off. When the icy wilds locked themselves into position, we managed to keep them there for almost 50 spins – but that doesn’t mean you are going to win on every spin. Try Ice Cave today via demo mode through a desktop, mobile or tablet device and see if there is cold hard cash waiting with your name on it.
