Ice Number One Slot Review & Free Play

Ice Number One: Hit the Ice Hockey Field With Your Favorite Mascot for up to 15,000x Payouts

Famous hockey team mascots hit the ice in Ice Number One, a slot where wild trophies are up for grabs. This Mascot Gaming title brings up to 50x symbol pays and free spins featuring 3x wild multipliers. If you're ready to cheer on your favorite animals as they battle it out on the hockey field, here's everything you need to know before jumping in. 

The game plays out on a unique 4-reel, 3-row grid with 10 paylines and a high volatility setting. While some symbols can deliver strong payouts, the scaling feels uneven. Most of the low-paying ones gave me less than 1x returns, which drained my balance early on. My first few wins ranged between 0.20x to 0.80x my bet, with a wild or two occasionally pushing things just below the 2x mark. 

The biggest win I managed in the base game came from a mix of shark symbols and wilds, giving me a solid 11.20x return. Wins like that were extremely rare though, and I didn’t see anything close to it again during my session. That’s why the risk game had to pull some serious weight. After each winning combo, you can activate it and spin a wheel to try for a 2x to 4x multiplier. Do keep in mind that you are risking your initial win here and you can end up losing it. 

Unlike the usual card-based gamble rounds found in many slots, I had a lot more fun with the prize wheel here. It uses a wheel of fortune style setup with several rings offering different odds, which adds some much-needed variety to the base game. As for the free spins, I found triggering them more complicated than it needed to be. There are no scatter symbols. You need to land all four different mascots on the reels to activate your 15 free spins, which felt like a stretch. 

Once the free spins are triggered, you also get to place a side bet by picking the team you think will win. It’s a free wager that adds another layer of excitement on top of the 3x multiplier active during the round. I triggered the bonus game a few times during my session and found the wins to be pretty satisfying. Most of them landed between 45x and 60x my bet, which is quite solid and on par with modern slots that use much larger grids. 

With sharp visuals and a fresh sports theme, Ice Number One by Mascot Gaming makes a strong first impression. The top win potential reaches up to 15,000x your bet, which sounds great on paper. In practice, though, most wins stay around the average mark. If you’re fine with a smaller grid and don’t mind a slow-paced base game, this slot can still deliver a fun session.
