Ice Cave

Ice Cave is a Norse-themed slot from Playtech set inside a frozen cave, where a Jarl, a Valkyrie, Fenrir, a raven and a longship share the reels with five rune stones. It runs on 5 reels and 20 paylines, medium volatility and a 96.11% RTP, with stakes from €0.3 to €60 and a top win of €30,000.

There are no scatters or free spins; the action comes from two kinds of wild. Ice wilds on reels 3 and 4 multiply wins by 3x and stay frozen in place, while a hammer wild on reel 2 also pays 3x and smashes the ice to clear them. An optional feature bet raises the stake by 1.5x and adds ice wilds to reel 5. A good fit for players who like sticky-wild tension in the base game.

Viking warriors and Norse creatures fill the reels, which sit in the middle of an icy cave. A soundtrack accompanies the spins, the control bar runs along the bottom, and the game loads directly in the browser.

The Jarl, the Valkyrie, Fenrir, the raven and the longship are the premium symbols, paying 5 coins for three and up to 250 coins for five. Runes for wealth, joy, protection, victory and power pay 2 to 50 coins. Stakes go from €0.3 to €60 per spin.

The game pays on 20 lines, and every win needs at least three matching symbols. The Jarl is the top symbol, at 250 coins for five on a line.

• Ice wilds: land on reels 3 and 4, substitute for all paying symbols, apply a 3x multiplier and stay locked on the screen.
• Hammer wild: appears only on reel 2, also applies 3x and breaks any locked ice wilds.
• Feature bet: switched on from the control bar; it raises the total bet by 1.5x and lets ice wilds land on reel 5 as well.
