Brave the Antarctic cold in The Great Icescape by PG Soft, an online slot game built around an expanding 5×5 grid. Twelve Ice Blockers initially restrict the active positions, but winning combinations break them and award respins, gradually opening more of the grid and increasing the available ways to win up to 3,125. Clearing all 12 blockers activates Bonus Respins, starting with a 2x multiplier and one extra life. Special symbol collections can increase the multiplier or award additional lives during the feature. Players in the Philippines can join this frosty rescue mission firsthand. Break the ice and help the penguin escape.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What happens if a main game respin produces no win?
The respin sequence ends, and all 12 Ice Blockers return for the next regular spin. Blocker removal therefore progresses within a continuing winning sequence, rather than remaining saved across separate paid spins.
2. How do blue-background symbols increase the multiplier?
During Bonus Respins, winning symbols with blue backgrounds contribute to the multiplier collection. Collecting 10 increases the multiplier by 1x. For example, completing a collection while the multiplier is 2x raises it to 3x for subsequent bonus wins.
3. What do purple-background symbols contribute?
Winning symbols with purple backgrounds contribute to the extra-life collection. Every 10 collected awards one additional life. These lives provide further respin opportunities after nonwinning bonus results, helping the feature continue when another winning combination does not appear.
4. Do all visible colored symbols count toward collections?
No. The collections use symbols that participate in winning combinations, with their background color determining which collection receives them. A blue or purple symbol appearing on the grid without contributing to a win does not count toward the required 10.
5. Does a winning Bonus Respin consume an extra life?
No. A Bonus Respin containing one or more winning combinations awards another Bonus Respin. Extra lives are used when a bonus result has no win, so a successful result continues the feature without spending a life.
6. Which wins receive the bonus multiplier?
All wins during Bonus Respins are multiplied by the current multiplier, rather than only wins involving blue-background symbols. The blue collection increases that value, while the purple collection supports feature continuation through additional lives. Both collections serve different gameplay purposes.
7. When does the Bonus Respin feature finish?
The feature ends when a Bonus Respin produces no winning combination and no extra lives remain. If a life is available, one is used to award another respin, providing another opportunity to form wins or complete symbol collections.
