One of the advantages of having so many independent studios attached to it is that Microgaming is able to deliver new games at a faster pace. The leading games supplier to online casinos has just released Icy Gems. Microgaming describes this as “a new online slot featuring a cool wintry theme”. Icy Gems is the ninth game created by Just For The Win exclusively for Microgaming. It has gone live on Wednesday November 28 at online casinos like 32Red, All Slots and Gaming Club. You can play it across all platforms.

The Microgaming press release says that players can soak up the festive atmosphere as they collect symbols and stack up big prizes. The high paying symbols are the game logo and gems. The low paying symbols are playing card icons. The thrilling features include Re-spins, Super spins and wild symbols. Icy Gems features a classic, clean slot design. It has been optimised for mobile gaming, so you can play in landscape or portrait mode.

The innovative feature introduced by Just For The Win is a Symbol Storage mechanism that can be triggered when you get a winning combination on one or more paylines. The winning symbol for each payline is added to the Symbol Storage panel and a Re-spin is awarded. When three symbols have been collected during one gaming session, a Super spin is launched for an opportunity to win dazzling rewards.

During the Super spin feature, only the symbols collected in the Symbol Storage are present on the reels. This enhances the possibility of big wins. There are three different levels of Super spins that can be triggered depending on the symbols stored. The Silver Super spin is triggered when three different symbol types are collected. Two different symbol types will activate the Gold Super spin. The Win Big Super spin is triggered when three symbols of the same type are stored.

David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, said, “Icy Gems is perfect for those looking for fun and enjoyable gameplay that builds anticipation towards big wins during the festive period.” He added that more thrilling games can be expected by Microgaming players from Just For The Win in 2019. Tiger Holmgren, Chief Product Officer at Just For The Win, also released a statement. He said, “We are thrilled to see Icy Gems released just in time to kick off the festive season. Icy Gems is a fast-paced game that builds excitement in multiple levels.”
