Sugar and Ice Introduction
Sugar and Ice, a slick contemporary online pokie from the developers at Mobilots, is available to play right here at Online Pokies 4U. Do not be fooled by the glossy graphics and candy coating - this game is every bit as playable and enjoyable as its less fanciful peers. With its novel gameplay, unconventional features and numerous opportunities to win enormous prizes, it is sure to appeal to gamers everywhere.
As with many of our other free pokies, Sugar and Ice is available to play on both browsers and mobile or tablet devices, making it equally suited to gaming at home and on the go. It is worth noting that there is no apparent compromise in gameplay or quality between the two versions.
Layout and design
Unlike a great number of the other pokies currently available - on this site and elsewhere - this game comprises five reels that each have five rows, laid out in a five x five configuration. There are three different coin size values that can be selected before any spin; accordingly, a wide range of prizes, both great and small, are awarded to fortunate gamers who manage to find instances of four to 14 adjacent matching symbols.
Each time a winning combination is found, these symbols are removed and additional candies will cascade down. This will continue until no additional combinations remain, making it possible to rack up some absolutely huge prizes with just a little luck and perseverance. As mentioned in the introduction, the graphical quality is relatively high, as is the quality of the sound.
In total there are eight symbols on the prize table, six of which are regular sorts for prize matches, with the remaining two being special types that award wild functionality and an accumulating jackpot bonus. All the prize symbols are thematically related, which is always a nice touch. The prizes on offer are calculated by multiplying the chosen coin size value by the win value of any particular symbol combination.
Regular symbols
The most valuable symbol in the game is the titular ice cube, followed by the pink and brown candy and then the gummy snake, both of which are worth dramatically less. The candies continue to decrease in value further along the list, with the blue and white candy being the least valuable in the entire game.
Wild
First among the special symbols is the wild, which is represented in this game by a golden candy wrapper bearing the word 'wild'. The wild's sole function in Sugar and Ice is as a substitute; accordingly, it can be used in place of any other prize symbol as part of a winning combination.
Cinnamon heart
The second and final special symbol in this game is the cinnamon heart. Whenever these appear on the reels, a jackpot value (JP) will begin to accumulate, increasing with each additional heart. Instead of awarding a regular prize, the jackpot win is awarded to the player when the JP meter reaches the set amount.
