Below you will find a brief enumeration of the symbols of the game and their features:

Game symbols

The symbol loot of the Ice Picks slot is truly original in the sense that there are neither the typical card symbols like J, Q or K, nor even numbers.

Thus, all the base symbols of this game involve adventures in frozen caves. Their importance, from the least valuable to the most, are:

• pick and rope / helmet (same value);
• mountaineer goggles / snow boots (same value);
• frozen prehistoric hammer;
• two frozen skulls;
• frozen golden vase;
• frozen Golden Buddha statue.

With regard to the special figures, this game stands out for its dedicated Jackpot symbol, represented by a chest of frozen treasures. The Wild, which replaces any other symbol except the scatter, consists of a box that says “Wild”. In this game, combinations made with the Wild receive a 4X multiplier, so check out the section below now to find out more about the scatter and other bonus symbols.

Bonus rounds and Free Spins

The "Bonus" symbol consists of a scroll with a treasure map. This activates multipliers, the value of which depends on the number of maps that have appeared, and can reach up to 50x.

Finally, the scatter is a powerful symbol, which awards the player with free spins. This is represented by a compass, and the number of Free Spins you will receive will depend on the number of compasses you can collect.

During free spins, there is a permanent multiplier of 3x, as well as Wilds that multiply the lines by 8x, there is also a Special “Drop”feature. In the same, if there are 3 or more combined symbols that are frozen, these break and give way to other figures.

The execution of the concept of this game, by the Rival developer, is not bad, but leaves a little to be desired with such a low RTP. However, the creativity and audiovisual quality are remarkable, for a relatively small company.
