Ice Fishing Frenzy is a popular online casino slot developed by Microgaming, one of the leading game development companies. The theme of the game revolves around ice fishing, where players are transported to a frozen lake where they must catch fish to win big prizes.
Theme and Design
The moment you launch the Ice Fishing Frenzy slot machine, you’ll be immersed in a serene winter wonderland ice fishing scene with snow-covered trees, icy lakes, and frosty air. The game is designed with an attention to detail that immerses players in the fishing experience. The background image of a frozen lake provides the perfect setting for the ice fishing theme.
Symbols
The game features 12 high-paying symbols, each representing different types of fish caught during ice fishing, including Perch, Pike, Trout, and others. These colorful fish are designed to be visually appealing and clearly distinguishable from one another. The standard playing cards (9-A) serve as low-paying symbols.
Payouts
The payouts for Ice Fishing Frenzy can reach up to 100x your bet per spin when you land five of a kind on the reels. While this might not seem like an impressive figure, players should be aware that higher-value fish have lower frequency rates and require specific combinations.
Wild Symbol
There are two types of wild symbols in Ice Fishing Frenzy: the standard Wild and the Fisherman Bonus symbol. The Standard Wild will substitute for any other symbol to create a winning combination except the Scatter symbol, which is represented by an image of a fish tank with five separate sections each containing different species of fish.
Scatter Symbol
The Fisherman’s Net scatter symbol triggers one of two special bonuses in this game: either the Fishing Frenzy feature or the Big Catch bonus. To win free spins and jackpots, you must collect three scatters on any spin from left to right.
Bonus Features
Ice Fishing Frenzy offers not one but two engaging bonus games that will attract both experienced players and newcomers:
-
The Fisherman Bonus : Triggered by landing a single Scatter (Fisherman’s Net) symbol anywhere on the reels, this bonus is an opportunity to win higher payouts based on your accumulated winnings. Two or three Scatters grant you up to five times more than the triggering bet.
-
Fishing Frenzy Feature : When activated through collecting three (or sometimes fewer depending on specific game conditions) scatter symbols with Fisherman’s Net images, this feature allows you to ‘catch fish’ that accumulate your winnings for possible large jackpots or bonus payouts up until a random point at the end when it automatically triggers an instant payout win.
