Ice Lobster Bonus Features
The Wild & Scatter special symbols and Free Spins, utilizing Cash-Collecting mechanics, are in this slot. Now, we will tell you all you need to know about those.
Wild
The Wild (the Golden Fish) appears on any reel and can replace any picture except Money Symbols and the Scatter. Also, it pays up to x100 for five such pics on the win line.
Scatter
This special symbol (the Anchor) lands anywhere on the playfield. It doesn’t bring payments but starts the Bonus Game:
So, the more Scatters on the grid, the longer the Bonus FS Game will be.
Free Spins
Fortunately, extra Free Spins are eligible thanks to new Scatters landing on the play grid along the Bonus Game duration. Each one brings one additional FS.
Money Symbols
Money Symbols appear exclusively within the Bonus FS Game, so you will not see them in the Base one. Each Money Symbol carries an attached cash prize, varying from x0.5 to x1,000 to the bet. Before Free Spins begin, those Scatters that triggered the Bonus FS Game leave behind a 1x1 size net, each in its place. Every net stays locked in place for all Free Spins duration.
On top of that, every new Scatter landed within the Bonus Game also left such a net in its place. When Money Symbols hit a net, their prizes are collected and credited to the gambler's balance. If there are already 6 such nets on the play grid, every following cash prize reaped from the Money Symbol doubles. Upon 10 such nets on the play grid, any Money Symbol prize triples when being collected.
Buy Free Spins
Also, a 'Buy Free Spins' option is present in this game, allowing you to start the Bonus Game any moment you want. The number of Scatters that will start Free Spins is always random, varying from 3 to 5. Using this function will cost you x100 to the currently chosen stake.
Our Experience Playing Ice Lobster
Also, we want to share the results of a practical experiment of playing this gamble on real money for a sum of €200, using the €1 stake per round during a 300-spin gaming session.
The 1st hundred spins didn’t allow us to indulge in the Bonus Game playing. Yet, we had as many as 37 regular wins, most of which (24), sadly, turned lower than the stake. Base Game prizes varied from €0.1 to €10. As a result, after the 100th spin had gone, we had €152.05 balance.
During the 2nd hundred spins, we had as many as two Bonus Games that brought us a total €80.35. But the number of ordinary cash prizes decreased to 26. Moreover, 22 were less than our chosen stake of €1. This time, the highest regular win totaled €6. Upon the 200th spin, we had €147.25 balance.
The last hundred spins turned surprisingly generous, greeting us with as many as two Bonus Games, earning an overall €69.3. The number of Base game prizes was 27, and 16 of those turned less than the bet. So, after the 300-spin gaming session was over, we had as much as €182.65. Hence, we lost precisely €17.35.
All the statistics concerning these 300 spins:
In conclusion, wins in the Base Game are frequent, yet most are less than the chosen stake. The Bonus FS Game also triggers often, yet even 4 Free Spin Rounds didn't allow us to make at least some profit. Additionally, we want to note a relatively easy way of getting extra FS, which requires appearing just a single Scatter. The Money Symbols also seem profitable enough, given their cash prizes up to x1,000 by the stake. Moreover, even Win Multipliers up to x3 are applied to the instant prizes under certain circumstances.
Ice Lobster Verdict
So, it’s another gamble released by a world-renowned Pragmatic Play developer and equipped with such popular features as Free Spins and Money Collect mechanics. Yet, the Base Game here isn’t that generous, allowing you to gather mostly low prizes, whereas the big ones aren’t that big, according to our practical experience. Moreover, despite as many as 4 Bonus Games triggered during our 300-spin gaming session, eventually, we didn’t make a profit since the average FS Round Win appeared at just around €37. Yet, collectively, they earned a well-solid sum of €149.65.
Nevertheless, Instant Prizes up to x1,000 by the stake and Prize Multipliers up to x3 eligible within the Bonus Game hold the chance to get an exciting win. Sadly, we weren't that lucky at least to get close to such a big win, but you well may do it! Moreover, the bet range from €0.1 to €240 should please both penny punters and high rollers.
