Ice Number One (Mascot Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

I’ve never watched too much ice hockey, but whenever I have, I’ve come away thinking you have to be equally as good at boxing as you do ice hockey. They’re always slugging it out after a collision, and the funny part is that the referees just let it happen most of the time. If you’re into fighting, ice hockey, or both, Mascot Gaming has released Ice Number One, an ice hockey-themed slot featuring fierce animals as the players rather than men. It is a 4×3 slot with 10 fixed paylines, a 94% RTP, and a bunch of interesting features.

Speaking of the features, the main one is a free spins bonus with a 3x win multiplier and a unique Side Bet option. The latter allows you to bet on the results of the ice hockey tournament, and should you guess correctly, you’ll win a multiplier that applies to the total win from the free spins. Furthermore, Mascot Gaming’s Risk ‘N’ Buy feature returns, giving you the option to gamble your winnings up to a maximum of 1,000x the stake or purchase the free spins bonus for 56x as standard or occasionally at a Special Deal price.

Are you ready to start duking it out on Mascot Gaming’s latest slot? Then, perhaps it’s a good idea to get some practice on the Ice Number One slot demo below. It’s free to play, meaning a bad run will not affect your bankroll.

One aspect of Ice Number One that pleases me is its uncommon theme. In fact, I initially couldn’t think of any other slot themed on ice hockey. I had to go on a major hunt just to see that Pragmatic Play released one called Hockey Bonanza, a 6×5 slot with a scatter pay mechanic, a max win of 5,000x the stake. So, when you’re finished with today’s review, if you fancy some overtime on the ice, you have an alternative to try in this genre, too.

Moving on to the paytable, the symbols on the reels of Ice Number One are grouped by the four teams battling it out in a tournament. There are the Lions, Bears, Bulls, and Sharks, and lining up four of the same teams’ logos will reward you with 50x the stake. Then there is a 10x the stake reward for four of the top-paying players from each team, 7.5x for the next player down from each, and 4x for four of the third player. Finally, lining up four Ice Pucks, Boots, Gloves, or Padded Helmets returns 1.5x. The reels also contain a wild symbol that helps create winning combinations by substituting for all the above symbols.

Minimum stakes supported on Ice Number One begin from €0.10 per spin, which is sure to put a smile on the face of low-rollers, while at the other end of the betting scale, those with pockets full of cash can stake up to a maximum of €15.

There are four reels and three rows for you to find your payouts on the Ice Number One slot, and those come when three or more matching symbols line up across one of the slot’s ten paylines. Those combinations must start from the leftmost reel and move along a payline across successive reels.

Risk Game

After a winning combination, you can click the Risk icon to the right of the spin button. Once inside, you can gamble your winnings up to a maximum of 1,000x the stake. However, losing loses everything you’ve previously won up to that point.

You’ll also find a Buy Bonus button to the right of the reels. This allows you to purchase the free spins bonus for a standard price of 56x your current bet. There’s also a Special Offer that sometimes gives you a better deal for the 15 free spins.

The free spins bonus round on Ice Number One triggers when four different team logos appear anywhere in view on the playing grid, awarding players 15 free spins.


Free Spins Feature

During this bonus round, a 3x win multiplier applies to all wins that come your way. It is not possible to re-trigger this bonus game, so keep your fingers crossed that some big wins will land in your allocated spins.


Side Bet

Before the free spins bonus starts, players can use the Side Bet feature to bet on the tournament’s outcome. You can choose to stake which team wins the competition, which teams come first and fourth, or which teams come first, second, and third.

As the reels spin, the teams are awarded points when their respective symbols form winning combinations. Winning a side bet earns you a multiplier that is applied to the winning you received from the bonus game.


Pros

  • The Side Bet feature adds a fun element to the free spins bonus.
  • A theme that has rarely been used.

Cons

  • The RTP of 94% is a little low.

Ice Number One Slot Review Final Thoughts

Ice Number One is a tidy little slot with some nice features, and the Side Bet bonus adds a bit of additional fun to the gameplay. The RTP is a little below the average, but overall, if you want something new to play with a theme that hasn't been overly used in the past, this is an option worth considering.
