Triple Hot Ice - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

The first thing to say in our Triple Hot Ice slot review is that you need to cast off your ideas of what a successful online slot can be. We’ve become so used to games that pull out all the stops with complex themes, sophisticated mechanics, thousands of pay ways and visual pyrotechnics that we sometimes forget how satisfying the conventional 3-reel game can be as both a paid and a free slot. 

This IGT online slot reminds us of the simpler pleasure, in stark contrast to a game like Big Time Gaming’s Who Wants to be a Millionaire Megaways and many others of its type.

Triple Hot Ice has 3 reels and 2 rows with 5 paylines, and you can choose to play any number of them. The minimum bet size is 0.05 and the maximum is 500. There are 6 symbols: 7, double 7, three 7s, triple 7, 5 and bar. There are no special symbols, scatters or wilds.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

Any slot review tries to give prospective players a sense of what they will find when the game loads. As Triple Hot Ice is a simple 3-reeler, it dispenses with the intricate graphics of many contemporary slots, and what you see is what you get. 

Against a plain blue backdrop adorned with the word ‘triple’, you’ll find a simple grid that looks very similar to a physical slot machine. The payline details are displayed at the top and the reels themselves are framed in a mock-metal surround. The controls are clear and bold, and the whole presentation is striking but simple. The electronic soundtrack will bring back memories of arcades from many years ago, completing the retro feel.

Triple Hot Ice RTP and variance

The game’s RTP is 96.49 per cent, which is slightly above average for an online slot. At the time of writing, the variance is unknown.

How to play Triple Hot Ice

1. Press the cog or TOTAL BET to open the Bet Configuration menu. Here you can choose the level of bet that suits you.
2. Once you’ve selected your bet, you can use the same menu to choose how many lines you wish to play.
3. To change your bet, press the minus button to decrease the total bet, or press the plus button to increase it. Press OK to confirm and close the Bet Configuration menu.
4. Press the circular arrow to spin the reels.
5. Press the smaller play button to play the game automatically for a set number of spins at the current total bet and number of paylines selected. Auto mode will exit if a bonus is triggered. You can also end the mode by clicking the button again.
6. All line win symbols must appear on a played line and on consecutive reels, beginning with the far-left reel.
7. Only the highest winner is paid on each payline. Line wins are multiplied by the line bet on the winning line. Coinciding line wins on different paylines are added.
8. A Triple sub-symbol may appear on any symbol on the reels. Symbols containing a Triple sub-symbol substitute for their respective symbols without the Triple sub-symbol. If one symbol in a line win contains a Triple sub-symbol, that win is multiplied by 3x. Two symbols in a line win with a Triple sub-symbol will multiply the win by 9x. Three symbols will multiply the win by 27x.
9. We encourage responsible gambling. It is an adult pastime and should be treated accordingly. We want players to enjoy the experience, and we would like you to stop playing when the fun stops. We support initiatives like BeGambleAware. We also suggest you try out any game as a free slot before you decide to bet any money. If you do decide to gamble, please make use of the various self-regulating functions you’ll find in your gaming account.

Triple Hot Ice review: our verdict

We have a soft spot for 3-reelers, which we think our slot review has probably made clear. It is the purest form of online slot, and IGT have done a good job of recreating the pleasure of a bygone time. Sometimes less is more, and when it’s done as smartly as this, we’re quite content with it.
