ABOUT
Few things in life are as satisfying as that first icy burst of freshness from a mint, and Ice Mints by Pragmatic Play bottles that feeling into a slot experience. The reels are chilled, the visuals are crisp, and every spin feels like it’s been pulled straight from a frosted freezer.
You’re greeted by a clean, minimal design: translucent reels rest on a slab of ice dusted with scattered mint leaves, while bright fruits and colorful drinks add pops of summery color to the wintry scene.
Pragmatic Play hasn’t stuffed the game full of overly complex mechanics or narrative fluff. Instead, it delivers a slot that’s easy to jump into, but still capable of delivering thrilling payoffs.
And speaking of payoffs, the lure here is undeniable: the chance to claim a win of up to 10,000x your stake. It’s a hook that makes the frosty setting all the more enticing, ensuring that even the most casual spin could suddenly turn into an avalanche of coins.
Betting & Bonus Options
Ice Mints uses a straightforward 5x3 reel layout paired with 20 fixed paylines, keeping the gameplay familiar while leaving plenty of room for its special features to work their magic. The betting options have been designed to suit a wide range of players - whether you prefer light, easy sessions or a more high-stakes approach, the game accommodates you without forcing you into a single play style.
From a numbers perspective, this frozen treat packs a respectable 96.50% RTP alongside high volatility. That means wins may not land often, but when they do, they can hit with the kind of intensity you’d expect from a game that can deliver payouts worth thousands of times your stake. This balance between patience and explosive moments is a hallmark of Pragmatic Play’s high-volatility titles, and Ice Mints is no exception.
The real heartbeat of the gameplay comes from its Cup Multipliers feature. Beneath reels 2, 3, and 4, you’ll see three cups. At the start of each spin, they can randomly display multiplier values - ranging from modest 2x boosts to game-changing 25x multipliers.
When a Mints symbol lands on the reel above a cup, it drops down into the cup, refreshing the symbol above and giving you a shot at something special. Occasionally, this triggers the reel above the cup to transform into a full wild reel.
If that happens, the multiplier in the cup is applied to every win on the screen. Multiple active multipliers stack together, creating potential for some serious payouts.
Free Spins Round
But the icy fun doesn’t stop there! Landing three or more scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature. The number of awarded free spins depends on the number of Scatters that land together on the grid:
- 3 Scatters trigger 10 free spins
- 4 Scatter symbol award 15 free spins
- 5 Scatters activate the maximum 20 free spins
In free spins, the multipliers in the cups don’t start filled. Instead, they grow each time a Mints symbol drops into them without triggering a wild reel expansion.
The best part? These multipliers are persistent throughout the round, carrying over from spin to spin.
This slow build-up of potential makes the later free spins particularly exciting, especially if you’ve stacked multiple large multipliers that can combine for massive results. Retriggers are also possible, keeping the momentum going and the multipliers growing.
If patience isn’t your style, Ice Mints gives you a shortcut: the Bonus Buy feature! For 80x your stake, you can jump straight into the free spins round, bypassing the wait and getting right to the persistent multiplier action.
All of this plays out against a backdrop of cool tones and crisp sound effects, creating an atmosphere that’s calm on the surface yet brimming with potential beneath the ice.
Roshtein’s Take
Ice Mints isn’t trying to be the biggest, flashiest slot out there and that’s actually what I like about it. The design is super clean, the multipliers can really stack up and that 10,000x potential is nothing to sneeze at. I’m spinning it from time to time for sure, especially when I’m in the mood for something straightforward that still has the power to drop a monster hit.
