New Ice Hockey Slot

April 26, 2012

Playtech has recently launched quite a few online slots which follow a sports theme. The latest Playtech offering is simply title Ice Hockey, and oddly enough, it follows an ice hockey theme.

Players of this new Ice Hockey video slot will need to choose an ice hockey team to play for once they begin play. This has the effect of generating a set of reel symbols which are based on the flag and colors of the team chosen. Depending upon which team way chosen, reels pay from left to right or right to left, this is intended to give the impression of playing from one end of the hockey field.

The wild symbols is a representation of a hockey goal, and although it acts as a normal wild symbol, it does not substitute for other special symbols such as the bonus symbol and the scatter symbol.

The Ice Hockey logo is used as the scatter symbol, and this symbol, two or more scatter symbols spun in anywhere on the reels will trigger a win.

The flag symbol of the team the player has chosen becomes the free spin symbol. This free spin symbol can award anything up to 15 spins, so these are pretty valuable reel symbols.

An ice hockey puck is used as the bonus symbol, and when triggered this activates a side game bonus feature which aims to emulate a hockey game. By juggling the reels, the puck as passed from one end of the reels to the other, with the aim of reaching the other end, and scoring a goal. A very cool bonus feature.

Overall, Ice Hockey is a very well put together sports themed video slot. The combination of both scatter and wild symbols, as well as plenty of free spins and what looks to be one of the most ingenious side game bonus features around, Ice Hockey is set to become a favorite online slot with sports fans everywhere. Ice Hockey is available to play now at most Playtech enabled online casinos, so head on over to your favorite casino and try it out.
