… Betting Strategies are also available.

You get started on a 6x3, 729 ways to win layout.

This stage of the game is not where the magic happens, but ...

... as soon as you start landing winning combinations it slowly begins to warm up.

If you do great, you can end up playing on a 6x7 layout instead with ...

... 74,088 ways to win!

If you add some icy wilds and multipliers to that ...

... it can get quite interesting.

This wolf slot game is divided into three sections: top, middle and bottom. 

The top and middle sections come into play once their ice is cleared away. 

A pay line of three symbols is enough to start the ice shattering on the middle reel section …

...bringing additional reel positions into play, and awards a re-spin. 

The number of symbols per reel included in the winning combination corresponds to the number of symbols cleared from ice in the respective reel…

…up to a maximum of 7 rows per reel. 

The Re-spin mode ends when there are no new respins awarded.

Spinning on the reels you will see Q, K, and A card suit symbols, as well as six picture symbols.

Listed in order of value are…

...the Viking shields, hammers, axes, eagles and wolves.

The latter is the most rewarding, giving you 5x your stake for a six of a kind combination. 

Special Features

Shattering the ice all the way to the top brings the valuable 7th row into play.

This top reel is the one filled with...

...wilds, additional spin symbols and multipliers, which multiply the win up to 50 times. 

An Ice Wolf symbol may appear in any spin.

When it appears on the reels, it triggers a wolfpack that clears away all ice on that reel, leaving a trail of wilds from its position and upwards.

But, also...

...the Ice Wolf always awards a respin in case it would appear in a non-winning spin.

Multipliers and wilds are sticky throughout the whole game once they hit on the top reel section.

Active multipliers are cumulative and multiply the win regardless of the column in which they appear - x2, x3, x5, x10 and x50.

The +1 Spin symbols stay sticky until they are used to prolong the respin sequence, increasing the chance for additional wins.

Conclusion

Ice Wolf is another stylish reel-expanding adventure that might not possess the qualities needed to appeal to most experienced gamers, but…

...it offers a new twist on a familiar set of ideas through an exciting Norse Mythology theme. 

Though there is no bonus to trigger…

...activating re-spins and unlocking pay lines as you make your way towards the modifiers in the top does offer some excitement.
