The Great Icescape

Get ready for a frosty reception you’ll actually like. Break the ice with a rosy-cheeked penguin by helping them free the sea creatures from the frozen blocks. This PG Soft slot is a highly unique, vertically-oriented game that has 3,125 ways to win.
A 5x5 game, The Great Icescape’s biggest draw is its regular respins, which occur every time there’s a winning combination on the reels. Wins also destroy blockers on the game board, increasing the playing area from thirteen positions up to a maximum of 25.
That’s not all. Once all the blockers are gone, the Bonus Respins mode begins. You can probably see a theme emerging here. The Great Icescape slot likes to keep the reels rolling, potentially creating huge wins for players.
Cool your heels at LeoVegas and play a range of online slots from Microgaming, Pragmatic Play, and PG Soft, among plenty of other developers. Alternatively, stay here as we try to spring a squid from an icy prison.

Let’s talk a bit more about those respins. They’re part of the only true bonus feature in The Great Icescape and they occur exclusively in the main game. This means no jarring transitions or interruptions in the gameplay.

Get enough wins to open up the full 5x5 area and the reels in The Great Icescape slot take on a life of their own. Every winning combination now causes an instant respin. However, some of the symbols now have blue and purple backgrounds.
Watch the plucky penguin in the panel at the bottom. They’ll use a giant hammer to hit the igloos on each win. The left igloo shows the current multiplier. The right shows the number of lives the player has left.
To increase the multiplier value, collect ten symbols with blue backgrounds during Bonus Respins. An equal amount of purple backgrounds gives the player an extra life. What are these lives for? If you don’t win in the Bonus Respin feature, you’ll lose a life but you’ll get another chance.
While plenty of slots have a re-triggering feature in their bonus modes, this is one of the few times we've seen an extra-life mechanic like this in a video slot.

Stranded sea creatures make up half of this video slot’s paytable, each with an expression of horror etched on their faces.
Free five petrified penguins and get a game-high win of 500.00 coins. This is followed by the frigid (pink) fish, at 300.00 coins for five, the stricken squid, worth 250.00 coins, and the freezing (blue) fish, at 200.00 coins for five.
The other symbols in The Great Icescape are all playing card ranks. In decreasing value order, these are the A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9. Five Aces pay the most, at 50.00 for five symbols, while three 9s will get you 5.00 tokens for every three that you find.
The maximum win possible in The Great Icescape is 2,500 coins.

This PG Soft slot looks and plays like a mobile game. Conveniently, you can download it on the LeoVegas iOS and Android app. All our experiences, from live casino lobbies to scratchcards, will work just fine in the browser window on your computer too.
Set your bet at the bottom of the game window and hit the circle Spin button to set the reels turning. That’s all there is to it - unless you’d like access to the sound, paytable, rules, history, and quit functions, which can be found via the hamburger menu in the bottom right.

Released in July 2019, The Great Icescape has managed to corner the market for cute penguins in online slot games. It’s a cheerful, upbeat experience that melds simple gameplay with a few fresh ideas.
What makes this PG Soft slot so endearing is the fact that the penguin takes an active part in the proceedings, sometimes directing the gameplay, sometimes just popping up to squeak before disappearing again
Combined with the sleighbells in the soundtrack, The Great Icescape is a wintry treasure all year round.
