Iceland Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Game Theme

Set in a beautiful, frosty winter wonderland, SpadeGaming’s Iceland features all sorts of cute critters ready to help you uncover the treasure buried beneath these layers of snow. Although not everyone loves the cold, with Iceland, you can enjoy the beauty of a snowy setting without the chills, and meet some of the creatures you’ve only dreamed of from the comfort of your couch.

Graphics & Soundtrack

Despite how beautifully drawn most of the symbols are in this slot, the animations themselves are nothing to write home about! The main animal symbols take a classic cartoon style look, whilst the scatter is a traditional-looking igloo. The polar bear acts as the wild in this game, expanding to fill all of reel 3 and leaping into life when used in a winning combination - although not entirely realistically!

Gameplay

Winning combinations are found along any of the 50 available paylines by matching symbols starting at the far-left reel. While lower paying card symbols will need at least 3 matches to pay out, the animal symbols only need 2 matches! The polar bear is the wild in this game and only appears as an expanded symbol in reel 3 in the base game.

Before playing, check the rules, paytable, and settings by clicking on the 3 lines in the top right-hand corner of your screen. Once you’re happy, you can adjust your bet by looking for the ‘bet’ bar beneath the reels and clicking on the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons. You can also adjust the active paylines by looking for the options to the right of the bet level. To the right of this, you can keep an eye on your balance.

Beneath the ‘balance’ bar, you can start playing the game! Hit the large ‘Spin’ button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen to spin the reels manually or select ‘Auto Play’ next to it to instruct the reels to continue spinning 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 times or even indefinitely!
Bet & Win Sizes

Set your bet between 0.50 and 250.00 to discover a game that really is designed for penny players, high rollers, and everyone in between! With a huge betting range, there’s plenty of opportunity to win, whatever your bankroll looks like, and the bet levels can be adjusted mid-game if you’re feeling lucky or wish to prolong the game.

The paytable can be found by clicking the ‘paytable’ button on the far-left directly beneath the reels. This will display the highest paying symbols as the walrus and wolf, each offering rewards of 3,333x your stake for 5 of a kind along a payline. If this isn’t rewarding enough, the polar bear wild also offers a 3x multiplier when involved in a win, bringing the top prizes for these symbols up to an impressive 9,999! There’s even more winning potential in the Win-Win Feature, triggered following a free spins bonus round, where you could increase your winnings by up to 100x!

Bonus Features & Free Spins

Find 3 igloo scatter symbols to trigger the free spins bonus game in Iceland and receive 8 free spins initially. Free spins can be reactivated during the bonus game.

Adventure Feature

The Adventure Feature in Iceland refers to the first stage of the free spins bonus round, where 8 free spins have been triggered by finding 3 or more scatter symbols. In the Adventure Feature, the wild polar bear is free to roam the reels rather than being confined to reel 3, making its 3x multiplier all the more helpful!

Max-win 10,000x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 97%

Win-Win Feature

The Win-Win Feature in Iceland adds even more winning potential to the game, with the ability to increase any wins you’ve been awarded up to 100x, which can add up to some really impressive payouts! You can only trigger this feature when you’ve won 10x your original bet during the free spins game, so you do need to have a fairly lucky bonus round to enjoy the Win-Win Feature!

RTP & Volatility

SpadeGaming has announced the RTP for their Iceland slot as 97%, which is a pretty respectable return on an online slot (we’re usually happy to play anything above 95.5%). The game is medium variance, so should offer a balance between rarer big wins and more frequent small payouts.

If You Enjoyed Iceland, You'll Love…

Snowy themed slots have always been a popular choice for slots makers, possibly due to the mysteries these sorts of landscapes hold for most. Arctic Wonders by Habanero is another fun slot packed full of cute and cuddly animals ready to help you win, while Snowflakes by NetGen offers a stunning winter wonderland full of beautifully coloured snowflakes that really capture the magic of a snow-covered landscape.

Our Verdict

Although the polar bear animations left a little to be desired, the graphics and peaceful soundtrack in Iceland was soothing and pleasant to look at. Only needing to match 2 higher symbols for a winning combination meant receiving payouts at a satisfying frequency and the free spins Adventure Feature wasn’t too difficult to trigger. This isn’t the most impressive slot by any means, but nonetheless, we really enjoyed having a spin in Iceland and would recommend it for a bit of escapism and a potentially very rewarding experience.
