Multiple reels can turn wild for the same spin, which can add to the opportunity. When a reel is full of any symbol but the premium symbol (that of the female, which I’ve been calling the Ice Princess as I worked through the notes for this review), a glowing border will appear around the reel indicating it will turn wild for the next spin. There are five bet levels, each with its own set of persistent state reels, and in the case of the machine we found, three denominations, similar to other persistent state games, meaning 15 unique sets of reels.
Icy Wilds is another 5×4 reel set, this time with 50 lines starting at 50 credits, so it is less expensive than some of its other persistent state reel cousins. Still, the game itself has some interesting features, so let’s dive in. Unlike many of their other games with this format, the wild persists for only one spin, so the advantage play is very limited.
IGT’s Icy Wilds is another game with a basic persistent state feature that carries a wild reel earned on a previous spin to the next. What Makes it Special: Get a reel of the same symbol (but only of the semi-premium symbols) and that reel will turn wild for the next spin.
