Ice Ice Hockey Slot Review
Ice Ice Hockey is a video slot from Wizard Games that was released on June 8, 2022. This slot machine, as the name suggests, has a theme revolving around ice hockey. This is a topic that is shockingly underrepresented in the world of online slots, particularly when one considers the proliferation of games with a focus on sports in recent years. The visuals are passable, but they are not as smooth or stunning as those seen in many of the new slots that have just been introduced into the market. There is some animation that plays whenever a win or special feature is triggered, but it isn't anything really revolutionary or interesting. Even while it does not in any way take away from the fact that this is an entertaining game, it does have the potential to make the slot machine appear a little bit antiquated. Nevertheless, there are neither delays nor lags in the images, and they function normally. The score is not very extensive and is made up of a wide variety of sound effects. Read our review to decide whether it is worth your time and money playing this slot.

Ice Ice Hockey Bonus Features
Wild Puck Feature
Wild symbols may appear anywhere on the reels during any spin of the reels. Wilds have the potential to be re-added to the same spot several times, resulting in the addition of additional multipliers. If a payline has two or more Wild symbols that are both active and rewarded, the multipliers for those Wilds are multiplied together. Only the paylines on which they are active have their multiplier effect take effect.
Free Spins
Free spins are awarded at a rate of 7, 10, or 15 for every 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols that fall anywhere on the reels. During the time that you are playing with your free spins, any Wild symbols that were present when the bonus was activated will remain in place. During the course of the Free Spins, the Wild Puck feature may become active. During the free spins round, any Wild symbols that arise as a result of the Wild Puck feature will stay in place for the remainder of the round.
Bonus Buy Feature
The "Buy Bonus" option allows the player to activate the Bonus feature whenever they choose throughout the main game. Pick a way to play, and then appreciate the one-of-a-kind possibilities afforded by the many features that are offered. To play 7 Free Spins, you must pay 50 times your total stake. You must pay 100 times your total stake in order to play 10 Free Spins. You may play 15 Free Spins if you pay 250 times your total stake.
Our Experience Playing Ice Ice Hockey
When we started playing the game, we were greeted with a quite simplistic reelset with different hockey players and your common royal symbols. There was no music, but the noises made by the audience in the arena made it quite immersive. Everything up to this point was very simple, but the issue that remained was how it acted in terms of rewards. To evaluate this we resorted to our usual technique of depositing 200 Euros, setting the bet to 0.8 Euro, and giving it around 300 spins or so. On our third spin we triggered the Free Spins, but the payout that it gave us was only 8x the bet. That fact was compensated by a megawin of 53x the bet soon after thanks to the Wild Puck Feature. After one hundred spins, we were 15 Euros ahead which was not a bad start. During the next one hundred spins, somewhere in the middle of them to be precise, we triggered the Free Spins again, and this time it paid us 68x the bet, which was very satisfactory. During our final spins we had another megawin of x50 the bet thanks to the aforementioned Wild Puck Feature again. Overall, after 300 spins, we made a profit of 34 Euros and were quite satisfied with how things turned out for us.
Ice Ice Hockey Verdict
There aren't too many slot machines, if any at all, that have a theme that's comparable to this one, so it's possible that this one will be something that will delight all gamblers who are fans of hockey. There is not really much going on in terms of payouts during the main game, except when that Wild Puck Feature comes into play and has a potential to pay big. The Free Spins, in our experience, were decent, except for one occasion which disappointed us. Overall, this slot may be suitable for hockey fans more than serious gamblers because there are better slots out there that provide better gambling experience in our opinion. If you dare to try this one, good luck and have fun!
