Aspire Global’s Wizard Games has taken to the rink in its latest enthralling slot, Ice Ice Hockey.

Players are tasked with leading their team to victory in the 5×4, 40 payline slot that gets adrenaline pumping as winning combinations land.

The Wild Puck feature sees random pucks fly onto the reels to add wilds. If two land on a single space, a multiplier is added to the wild for even bigger wins.

Three or more referee Scatter symbols will trigger the Free Spins feature, which also includes sticky wilds, which remain for the duration when they enter the reels. It is also possible to retrigger free spins during this mode for even more win potential.

A Buy Bonus is available in some jurisdictions, enabling players a shortcut into the free spins round.

The game is the latest addition in Wizard Games’ growing and diverse portfolio, following Wildwood Buffalo, as the provider continues to grow its offering. Wizard Games recently received recognition in the Slot Studio Debut category at the CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards, coming in second place with Gods of Kemet.

Joey Hurtado, Managing Director at Wizard Games, said: “We’ve got our skates on and are ready to compete with the best on the rink in our latest hit, Ice Ice Hockey. Taking inspiration from one of the world’s most popular sports, we’ve packed it full of sticky wilds for a fast-paced gameplay that has the potential to be hugely rewarding if pucks hit the back of the net.

“Our content has been incredibly well received as we continue to produce exciting titles, and our growth in key targeted markets has been a real success story for us.”
