Belatra Debuts Ice Bass Slot

Belatra has expanded its fishing-themed slot portfolio with the release of Ice Bass, a follow-up to Blast the Bass that shifts the action from open water to a frozen lake. The new title went live on 19th February 2026 and introduces a winter setting built around high volatility gameplay and a top payout of 5,000x the stake.

The returning fisherman character now drills through thick ice instead of casting from a boat. He trades his summer gear for cold-weather equipment as players pursue prizes hidden beneath the lake’s surface. The game runs on a 96.05% RTP and uses an escalating soundtrack that builds as players progress through its levels.

Frozen Setting and Core Mechanics

Ice Bass places Fish icons at the center of its paytable. These symbols serve two roles: traditional payline combinations and credit values that carry multipliers between 2x and 1000x. During the Free Games round, the Fisherman-Wild appears and activates the collection feature. When the character lands beside Fish symbols, he gathers the displayed values and combines them into a total payout. Additional Fisherman-Wilds increase the amount collected on a single spin.

The Free Games feature begins once three or more Scatter symbols land. Before the main bonus round starts, players enter a pre-game fishing phase. In this stage, boosters may add extra Fishermen, increase the number of spins, or ensure Fish symbols appear on every spin. The pre-game sequence ends when the Old Boot symbol is hooked.

As the Free Games round continues, each collected Fisherman-Wild contributes to a Booster panel positioned above the reels. When the panel fills, it activates a sequence of boosters that extend the feature and raise multipliers already in play.

Hot Mode and Purchase Options

Five Scatter symbols in the base game activate Hot Mode, described as the premium tier. This version of the bonus grants immediate access to active multipliers along with additional games. Players can also adjust their stake using the Bet +25% option, which increases the frequency of Scatter symbols and improves the probability of triggering Hot Mode. All winnings remain tied to the original base bet.

For those who want immediate access to bonus content, the Buy Bonus function allows players to purchase entry into either the standard Free Games feature or Hot Mode directly from the game menu.

The slot’s description highlights its winter atmosphere and high-intensity format, presenting Ice Bass as a high-volatility evolution of the fishing concept. The maximum win of 5,000x underpins the game’s top-end potential, while features such as Fish Rain and stacked multipliers contribute to payout opportunities during bonus play.

Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, said: "We wanted to create a game that packed the same punch as the original but in a new winter tundra setting and the team has delivered a game that is scorching hot even below zero!”

With its combination of multipliers, collection mechanics, and purchasable features, the game extends Belatra’s established formula into a colder environment while retaining the structure that defined its predecessor.
