Frozen Reels That Keep Shifting

I tested Out Of The Ice slot at a $1.00 bet to see whether Print Studios’ frozen, shape-shifting reels feel as volatile as the spec sheet suggests.

According to Print Studios, Out Of The Ice slot is a medium-high volatility slot with 96.55% RTP and 6,000x max win potential. It uses 5 reels with 3 to 5 rows, 76 to 259 ways to win, and free spins on a 5×5 grid. Active re-spin fans get feature choices, shifting boards, and risk that can bite fast.

Key takeaways

Best bonus: Free spins unlock after winning combinations form on four consecutive re-spins, with three choices once the bonus opens.
RTP / volatility: Out Of The Ice slot has 96.55% RTP, medium-high volatility, and no fixed paylines.
Max win: The top prize is 6,000x the bet, and the round ends once that cap lands.
Risk note: My 100-spin test lost $75.70 at a $1.00 bet, with 15 paying spins and no free spins.
Bankroll note: The simulator’s median 1000-spin result was $46.60 down, but the result band was wide.

How the Frozen Ways Game Works

Out Of The Ice slot works through expanding ways and re-spins, not fixed paylines. You start with 5 reels and 3 to 5 rows, then winning spins can reshape the board and raise the active win count.

Wins pay from the leftmost reel to the right on adjacent reels. The game pays only the highest win per way, so you don’t choose line counts or adjust paylines. Practically speaking, that keeps the setup clean, even when the reel shape changes.

Snapshot: The game uses ways to win, not traditional paylines, and the win count expands as the board grows.

Symbol values

There are nine paying symbols in the paytable. According to the in-game paytable, at a $1.00 bet, the purple dragon leads the set with $10.00 for five, $5.00 for four, and $1.25 for three. That top symbol matters because the re-spin engine needs decent base wins before multipliers can feel serious.

Premium symbol table with dragon payouts — Premium pays, with the purple dragon on top.

The green dragon pays $3.75, $3.00, and $0.60. The blue dragon pays $2.50, $2.00, and $0.60. Those mid-tier dragons keep the game readable, and you can quickly spot whether a frozen win has real value.

Purple fish and green snail pay $1.50, $1.00, and $0.40. The blue crab pays $1.25, $0.75, and $0.30. Low shells sit below them, with the gold shell paying $0.75, $0.50, and $0.20.

Low shell symbol table with payouts — Three shell pays sitting under the creatures.

Purple shell and green shell both pay $0.50, $0.35, and $0.10. I don’t mind the low values here because the whole slot leans on chains, not single symbol payouts. Still, shell-heavy hits can feel thin at a $1.00 stake.

Ways, not lines

This isn’t a fixed-payline slot, and that point matters. You don’t pick 10, 20, or 30 lines before spinning. Instead, more symbol positions become active as re-spins add taller reels and push the setup toward 259 ways.

The base game starts at 76 ways. Re-spin steps can lift that through 90, 154, 164, and finally 259 ways. You can follow the layout on desktop or mobile because the expanding grid stays central and doesn’t scatter information across the screen.

No separate wild or scatter appears in the paytable. That makes the rules easier, but it also puts more pressure on the freezing mechanic. You’re watching the board shape, not chasing a standard scatter symbol.

The bottom line is simple: more ways can help, but only if adjacent wins keep forming. That makes Out Of The Ice slot more active than a basic line game, without turning it into a hard-to-read puzzle.

Theme & First Impressions

The theme is a bright frozen sea fantasy with dragons, shells, fish, crab, snail, and merfolk. You get pale blue ice, icy cells, and creatures that look like they’re trapped under a cold surface.

Five-reel grid settled before a spin — Fresh balance, quiet board, frozen creatures waiting.

Frozen sea style

The board uses sea dragons, a spiny fish, a snail, a crab, and three shell types. Merfolk rise from the frozen ground to multiply wins, which gives the best moments a stronger visual punch. The look won’t win originality awards, but the shifting frozen board gives it more personality than a static sea-creature slot.

You can see the theme working hardest when symbols are coming out of the ice through frozen holds and board changes. That’s more useful than plain decoration. I’d rather see a simple theme tied to mechanics than a busy one that does nothing.

Background: Frozen sea themes often work because blue palettes create instant contrast with bright creatures. Here, the merfolk and dragons carry most of that contrast.

Changing board feel

The changing board gives the visuals movement even during small wins. You don’t just see a payout and reset. Winning symbols lock, the left side drops away, and a fresh taller reel slides in from the right.

That motion matters because you’re always watching whether the next adjacent hit can extend the chain. If you prefer calmer drop-style pacing, Pond Of Plinko offers a simpler mood with less board movement. Pine of Plinko and Pine Of Plinko 2 also stay closer to plinko-style suspense than this shifting frozen grid. This icy slot asks for more attention.

The theme fits the mechanics better than I expected. You feel the frozen setup in the way symbols hold, break, and shift. That gives the game a clear identity without needing extra side features.

Freezing Re-spin Feature

The Freezing Re-spin feature is the core engine of Out Of The Ice slot. Any win locks symbols, shifts the reels, and gives the result another chance to grow.

Frozen symbols

Any winning result starts the feature. Winning symbols freeze in dark ice holes, while every non-winning symbol re-spins. I like this because even a small hit can feel alive for a few seconds.

Winning green shells held in ice holes — Green shells held, $2.15 already counted.

The mechanic doesn’t turn every win into a big event. Many chains still end cheaply, and you’ll notice that fast at a $1.00 bet. That honesty helps, because the feature adds suspense without pretending every frozen symbol matters equally.

Pointer: Don’t read every re-spin as a near-miss. The mechanic adds suspense, but it still needs new adjacent wins to continue.

Expanding reels

After a win, the leftmost reel disappears and a fresh 5-row reel slides in from the right. That change can open more ways and give the chain a different shape. You don’t need to manage anything, so your job is to watch the adjacent matches.

The panel lists 76 ways in the base game. Re-spin chains can move through 90, 154, 164, and 259 ways. Free spins also play at 259 ways, so the bonus starts from the widest setup.

What matters here is how the chain connects to the bonus trigger. Four consecutive winning re-spins unlock the free spins choice. That’s a tough ask, but it gives the base game a real target beyond one-off hits.

I found the feature more engaging than the raw payouts in my measured run. My best hit stayed at $7.80, yet the freeze-and-slide motion made dead stretches less dull. That said, suspense doesn’t pay the balance by itself.

Merfolk Multipliers

Merfolk multipliers add the biggest burst potential because they can multiply a winning hit by values up to 40x. They don’t create wins by themselves, so you still need a real symbol connection first.

Multiplier values

When a win forms, up to two random merfolk multipliers can land on it in normal play. The game also states that up to three can apply to one win. That rule gives the slot its sharpest upside, even before free spins enter.

The first merfolk values are 2x, 3x, 4x, and 6x. The second set jumps to 8x, 10x, 20x, and 40x. The king values make the feature feel dangerous, but they still need a decent base win to matter.

Merfolk multiplier symbols with listed values — Queen and king values, from 2x to 40x.

Background: More than one merfolk can apply to the same win, but the slot still needs the underlying symbol hit first.

Stacked boosts

Each multiplier applies independently when more than one lands. That can turn a stronger dragon hit into the kind of moment you remember. In a thin base hit, though, even a large multiplier may only rescue the spin rather than transform it.

I like the multiplier design because it stays readable. You can tell what landed, where it landed, and whether the winning way used that position. Some slots bury multiplier logic under too many icons, but this one keeps the idea clear.

The trade-off is dependence. You need the win, the merfolk, and useful positioning. That makes the feature exciting, but not dependable. You’ll feel that most during cold spells, when the merfolk appear less important than the missing base connections.

Sticky free spins change the equation because multiplier positions can stay active. That makes the bonus choices matter more than a normal spin count comparison.

10 Multiplier Free Spins

The 10 Multiplier Free Spins option gives the most starting spins, but it doesn’t add sticky multiplier persistence. It looks like the steadier choice from the three-card bonus screen.

Ten-spin option

Free spins trigger when winning combinations form on four consecutive re-spins. You then choose between 10 Multiplier Free Spins, 8 Sticky Multiplier Free Spins, or 4 Sticky Multiplier Retrigger Free Spins. All three options play on a 5×5 grid.

Three free spin cards beside multiplier art — Three cards, one calm route, two stickier risks.

I didn’t trigger free spins during my measured 100-spin session. That means I didn’t see the choice screen first-hand inside the tracked run. I’m glad that’s clear because bonus descriptions can sound too clean without real session context.

The 10-spin option gives you the most starting attempts. That may appeal if you hate short bonuses that disappear before they build. Still, more spins don’t automatically mean better value, especially when the sticky upgrades sit elsewhere.

Held wins

During free spins, winning symbols hold in place and re-spins continue until no new winning symbols land. The game evaluates and pays the wins only after that re-spin sequence ends. That delayed payout can make the bonus feel more tense than a simple spin-by-spin round.

You’re watching for positions that keep linking, not just single hits. The 5×5 grid and 259 ways give the round room to build, but bad symbol drops can still end sequences quickly. I’d treat the 10-spin version as the calmer-looking route.

The opinionated take is simple: this option may feel less punishing, but it also gives up the stickiest upside. If you want the bonus to breathe, it has appeal. If you want multiplier compounding, the next option looks more interesting.

Sticky Multiplier Free Spins

Sticky Multiplier Free Spins trade fewer starting spins for stronger compounding potential. You get 8 spins, and a multiplier that applies to a win stays on its position for the rest of the round.

Eight-spin choice

This option starts with 8 Sticky Multiplier Free Spins. That’s fewer than the 10-spin version, but the sticky rule can create better follow-up chances. You need the board to reuse those positions, so the trade-off isn’t free.

A multiplier only matters after it applies to a winning hit. Once it sticks, later wins using that position can benefit again. That makes placement important, and I like that extra layer because it gives the bonus a reason to feel different.

If feature-chasing drives your play, Book Of Destiny offers a different bonus-round focus with a more classic adventure feel. This frozen slot leans harder into positions, re-spins, and multiplier reuse. You should pick based on the kind of bonus tension you enjoy.

Sticky positions

Sticky positions can turn a modest start into a stronger round if the grid keeps connecting. You want multipliers in places that future winning ways can reuse. A lonely sticky symbol away from later wins won’t help much.

This is the option I’d be most curious to catch in a longer session. It gives the game’s best idea more room to work without cutting the spin count too sharply. The downside is obvious: sticky multipliers still need wins to pass through them.

I don’t think you should treat it as automatically strongest. The slot doesn’t give enough certainty for that. What matters is whether you value compounding potential more than a safer-looking spin count.

Sticky Multiplier Retrigger Free Spins

Sticky Multiplier Retrigger Free Spins is the sharpest choice because it starts with only 4 spins but can add spins through multipliers. It can feel punchy, but it can also brick fast.

Four-spin choice

This option gives 4 Sticky Multiplier Retrigger Free Spins. All free spin choices use the same 5×5 grid, so the difference comes from the retrigger rule. Each multiplier adds one extra free spin the first time it applies to a win.

That sounds exciting, but the short starting count matters. If multipliers don’t connect early, the round can end before the idea develops. Medium-high volatility shows up most clearly in moments like this.

Heads Up: Medium-high volatility means the short 4-spin option can feel brutal if sticky multipliers don’t connect early. Keep your bet size comfortable.

Extra-spin triggers

The retrigger rule rewards early multiplier contact. You need a multiplier to apply to a win, then that first application adds one extra free spin. That design can create a climbing round, but it needs help right away.

I’d call this the aggressive choice, not the strongest choice. The upside looks better when you’re comfortable with short, sharp bonus swings. If you dislike bonus rounds that can vanish quickly, the 10-spin option may feel less harsh.

This choice also fits the 6,000x cap better than a calm low-variance bonus would. The cap feels solid rather than outrageous for medium-high volatility, so the re-spin engine carries most of the interest. Your bankroll still has to survive the waiting.

RTP, Volatility & My Test

According to Print Studios, the official math is 96.55% RTP, medium-high volatility, and a 6,000x max win. My real 100-spin session lost $75.70 at a $1.00 bet, which matched the streaky feel.

The round ends if the 6,000x cap is reached. I’d call that cap respectable, not massive, because some medium-high slots chase higher top-end numbers. Here, the appeal comes from expanding re-spins and multiplier choices.

Simulator projection

I ran our simulator on 96.55% RTP, medium-high volatility, and a 6,000x cap. The model used a $1.00 bet across 1000 spins. It gave a median result of $46.60 down.

Blue simulator graph with outcome band — Blue projection line, with a wide outcome band.

The 5th to 95th percentile band ran from $253.90 down to $240.30 up. About 21% of spins paid, and a feature round appeared roughly once in 44 spins. A win of 100x or more appeared about 1 in 3922 spins.

That spread tells you more than the headline RTP. You can land near the middle, drift into a rough patch, or catch one of the bigger swings. The simulator can’t predict your next session or the real random number generator.

Our 100-spin session

I played 100 spins at a $1.00 bet with turbo on. The demo opened on a $5,000.00 balance, and I finished at $4,924.30. That left me $75.70 down.

Gold balance graph sliding below start — My balance slid to $4,924.30 after 100 spins.

My balance never climbed above the start line. It bottomed out at $4,922.50 near the end, which made the session feel flat despite the active re-spin engine. Only 15 of my 100 spins paid, and most paid small amounts.

My best hit was $7.80 on spin 95. Free spins didn’t trigger in the measured run, so I can’t claim a live bonus result from that session. After the 100 spins, I played a few extra single spins only to capture a win frame, and those spins don’t count in the test result.

There was no bonus buy in the demo I played. Turbo mode was the only speed setting, and that suited the base game because the re-spins already create pauses. You can play the demo or real play version on SatoshiHero without changing the core setup.

Theoretical RTP is the operator-published return figure, and one 100-spin test doesn’t change it. Simulator results show spread estimates, not predictions. Bonus structures can differ slightly by design, but the main lesson stays practical: medium-high volatility can feel streaky even with fair math.

Frequently Asked Questions About Out Of The Ice

How do the Freezing Re-spins work in Out Of The Ice slot?

Every win freezes the winning symbols in place, removes the leftmost reel, and slides in a new 5-row reel from the right. All other symbols re-spin. The chain continues while new wins land, and the ways grow from 76 up to 259.

How do you trigger the free spins in Out Of The Ice slot?

Free spins trigger when winning combinations form on four consecutive re-spins. You then choose between 10 Multiplier Free Spins, 8 Sticky Multiplier Free Spins, and 4 Sticky Multiplier Retrigger Free Spins. All three choices play on a 5×5 grid.

How big can the Out Of The Ice slot merfolk multipliers get?

Merfolk multipliers run from 2x to 40x, and up to three can apply to one win. Each one applies independently. Sticky free spins can keep a multiplier on its position for later wins.

What does the simulator say about Out Of The Ice slot over 1000 spins?

The model gives a median session of $46.60 down at a $1.00 bet. The 5th to 95th percentile band runs from $253.90 down to $240.30 up. About 21% of spins pay, and a feature round appears roughly once in 44 spins.

The 100-spin test used a $1.00 bet from a $5,000.00 balance and ended at $4,924.30, which is $75.70 down. Only 15 spins paid, the best hit was $7.80, and free spins didn’t trigger.

What are the RTP and maximum win of Out Of The Ice slot?

Out Of The Ice has 96.55% RTP, medium-high volatility, and 6,000x maximum win. The round ends once the 6,000x cap is reached.

Where I Land

Out Of The Ice stands out because its frozen re-spin engine makes even small wins feel active. The main drawback is the same one I felt in testing: the slot can stay cold for long patches, even at a fair RTP.

My Take

Patient feature hunters get the most from this game when they accept short-session swings. I’d play it with a measured stake, then judge the session by chains and bonus chances rather than one spin. Don’t expect the 6,000x cap to carry the whole experience.

I like the way symbols freeze, reels shift, and merfolk multipliers give wins extra bite. I don’t like how my 100-spin run never reached the bonus screen, because that left the session feeling capped by small base hits. Still, the core mechanic has enough energy to keep the frozen ways game interesting.

Out Of The Ice slot is checked regularly for spec accuracy, feature notes, and tested-session clarity. If Print Studios’ icy theme grabs you, start in demo and see whether the re-spin rhythm fits your patience.

Pros:

Clear ways system: Expanding ways make growth easy to track during chains.
Active base game: Freezing re-spins add movement to small wins.
Strong multiplier ceiling: Merfolk values up to 40x create real burst potential.
Three bonus choices: Free spins options let you pick steadier or sharper risk.

Cons:

Cold short sessions: My 100 spins lost $75.70 without a bonus trigger.
No bonus buy tested: Demo play left the main feature behind the trigger.
Low hits feel thin: Shell-heavy wins can barely move a $1.00 balance.

Best For: Bonus-focused slot fans with a taste for expanding boards, re-spins, and multiplier choices should enjoy the structure. The game also fits patient bankroll managers who can handle medium-high volatility without chasing losses. If you want simple drop pacing, the shifting frozen grid may feel too busy.
