Theme
Ice Run takes place in the Arctic against a background of icebergs and freezing deep blue ocean. Featuring fun cartoon-style graphics reminiscent of a Pixar style cartoon like Ice Age, Ice Run is guaranteed to keep you entertained for hours. The reels and interface also appear to be hewn from blocks of ice, and the symbols are based upon the people and wildlife in the Arctic, with huskies, seals and igloos up for play.
Features
This pokie is really customisable. Using the arrows at the bottom of the screen, you can change your active paylines from just 1 to all 25. Your line bet can be changed from $0.01 to a whopping $50, giving you a potential maximum bet of $1,250! Another excellent feature is the autospin.
Players who prefer to get straight to the action can set up the game as they like and then choose to autospin for 10, 25, 50 or 99 spins, or even until you unlock the bonus feature.
Symbols
The lowest value symbols in Ice Run are the playing cards, form 9 to Ace. This pokie is generous in that 9 and 10, J and Q, and K and A are treated as matching pairs respectively. Five Aces or Kings earns you a huge 100 x your initial stake. More sought-after symbols include a campfire, a seal, a fish and an Eskimo woman. Five of the woman rewards you with an incredible 4000 x your line stake!
Wild ice breakers
Besides the common symbols, Ice Run is rich in additional features and bonus games. The Wild in the game, substituting for all other regular symbols, is the male Eskimo hunter, who appears on reels 2 to 4 and helps you to create more of the best winning combinations. If he lands in the middle of reel 3, he’ll be expanded over the entire reel and stay there while you get two free re-spins in the Ice Breaker round.
And that’s not all: get three igloo symbols anywhere on the reels and you’ll be granted ten free spins, with all winnings tripled! If you capture more igloos during your free spins, the fun can continue indefinitely, making this a symbol to watch for.
Bonus mini-games
The Ice Run bonus game is triggered when you land the Husky on both reels 1 and 5. In round one of this game, send your Eskimo sliding down the hillside to hit at least three of seven snowmen to win a hefty cash prize! After you’ve smashed three snowmen, the Snowball feature is unlocked.
Three snowballs destroy the remaining snowmen, and all remaining cash prizes go straight to your bank. Round two involves picking one of three igloos containing different multipliers, up to 5 x, which will then be applied to your winnings, making for some unbelievably big wins!
