Fire And Ice Slot Review
I just got the hottest and the coolest video slot to review: Amatic's Fire and Ice.
Life is all about experiencing every extreme we can – otherwise, how do we feel alive?
Have you ever sat in a sauna for a while, then ran out and jumped into the snow? I've done it at a Bachelor's Party, and it was exhilarating! After the paramedics took the groom away, we carried on the party – sauna, snow, sauna, snow. We were in great shape the next day for the wedding, despite icy glares from the bride.
I was expecting the same sort of exhilaration from Fire and Ice, but instead, I got something completely different. The theme doesn't carry through strongly and the slot has more of an old-school feel – which is not a bad thing, it just surprised me. I really enjoyed this slot and will cover it in detail but the theme certainly seems to have been tagged on. What you're left with though is some rip-roaring gambling fun that you can play on P.C, mobile devices or tablets.
Gameplay
Unusually, there are 6 reels and 40 paylines in Fire and Ice and no items that relate to temperature. The symbols are predominantly fruit: grapes, watermelon, cherries, plum, and lemon. This fruit salad assortment is joined by bonus star symbols, a bell and a 7. The bell is the wild symbol which substitutes for all except the bonus.
I've always enjoyed Amatics simple layout, and this game is no exception. The bottom control panel has an Auto Start and Start button on both borders. Between them are the Exit, Gamble, Lines and Bet buttons. On the top left there's a question mark button which accesses game info.
The AutoSpin is basic with no advanced parameters, but it works well enough.
Features
2 bonus symbols on reels 1 and 6 in any position activates 7 Free Spins, which have some interesting extras. First of all they can be re-triggered which is a plus and second of all any wild symbols that land remain in position until the end of your Free Spins. I liked this aspect as it gives a great boost to players winning chances.
Unique Features
After each winning spin, there's a gamble option with a choice of doubling your profits by choosing the correct card color or quadrupling it by choosing color and suite. Best of all, it doesn't challenge your pocket – you don't have to bet your entire profits and can even scale the bet back to a minuscule amount.
Performance
With old style graphics and slot sound effects this isn't a complicated slot. As such Fire and Ice doesn't blow hot and cold performance-wise - its top quality in this department.
Conclusion
Fire and Ice fills a niche in the market for those yearning for a type of “classic slot feel” with some hidden twists. It doesn't blow your mind, but it keeps you playing and having fun. It may drift from its theme, but it
provides hours of fun and is a superb game. So when the new slots with dazzling themes and no substance frustrate you, look up Fire and Ice – you won't regret it.
