Icarus Wilds Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Fly above the clouds as Ricky Riches’ Icarus as you escape from Crete and re-join the other gods. In this 5x3-slot game, you’ll find plenty of winning opportunities with 3 types of special Wilds and an exciting free spins bonus round that increase the reel grid into a 5x4 game with up to 1024 winning ways!

In Icarus Wilds, land winning combinations by matching three or more symbols along one of the 243 paylines. Icarus himself (as played by Ricky Riches) acts as the Wild symbol in Icarus Wilds and can substitute for any symbol excluding the Scatter to help you land more frequent and rewarding winning combinations.

Not only can Icarus substitute for other symbols, but he can also act as a Multiplier, giving you the chance to win up to 4x your prizes when he lands with these powers. You’ll also find an expanding wilds feature with the Flying Wilds that nudge one position up on every subsequent spin.

In addition to these exciting Wild features, Icarus Wilds also incorporates a free spins bonus round that sees the reel grid expand by 1 row and the winning ways increase from 243 to 1024.

We’ll look at the bonus features in more detail later in this Icarus Wilds slot review.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Icarus Wilds is set above Crete, the island Icarus needs to escape from. Because this god has wings, the reels are positioned in the sky, with clouds gently floating past. The reels have a distinctly Greek feel to them, with A through 10 symbols in classic Greek lettering (using a Western alphabet), and other symbols including a warrior’s helmet, a bronze vase, and tools to aid Icarus in his escape, among others. The soundtrack works well with the Greek god theme of the slot, with an epic tune that adds suspense without being distracting or irritating.

Icarus Wilds RTP & Volatility

Icarus Wilds Bonus Features

In a slot named Icarus Wilds, it should come as no surprise that the main bonus features in this game are the 3 Wild symbols. Each of these symbols have their own unique characteristics as follows:

Flying Wilds

The Flying Wilds appear on the reels with great wings and can appear on reels 2 through 5. When they appear, they turn sticky and nudge up by one position for every subsequent spin.

Locked Wilds

Locked Wilds feature a small padlock in the top right corner of the symbol. These lock any Flying Wilds into place for 2 to 4 spins before the Wilds are able to start nudging upwards.

Multiplier Wilds

In the bottom right corner of this symbol, you’ll be able to see what Multiplier is available for these Wilds. Use them as part of a winning combination to increase your bet by whatever Multiplier is relevant

Free Spins

In addition to the various Wild symbols, Icarus Wilds also features a free spins bonus round. Trigger this round by landing three or more Free Spins symbols in any position. During this feature, at least one Flying Wild will appear on the bottom row to start the game. The reel grid will increase to a 5x4 layout and the feature ends when there are no more Flying Wilds on the board.

Conclusion

Overall, we really enjoyed Icarus Wilds. We thought the graphics and soundtrack were really nicely done and the various Wild symbols gave plenty of awesome winning potential (plus we enjoyed watching the Flying Wilds move). The free spins were a little tricky to trigger but were very rewarding when we did. We might have liked to see more themed symbols in the slot, as the reels seemed to be made mostly of A through 10 symbols, but this is a fairly minor drawback.
