Icarus Wilds by STHLM Gaming

Released on March 10th, 2020 this is a non-progressive video slot with medium-to-high volatility. Its return to player percentage is rather solid at 96.54%. Maximum wins within one spin can reach 843,000 coins per a single spin.

The slot’s developer and provider is STHLM Gaming - an emerging name in the competitive software developing industry, but it seems like the label has found its way to the top. It focuses on the instant, quality and feature slots , which are compatible with instant platforms - both desktop and portable ones. The company has also been spotted partnering with some major brands, such as Relax Gaming.

Tip: We’ve reviewed five of the studio’s first titles and can speak highly of those. Head to our database and see review of possible payouts, as well as links to play.

THE STORY

This is one of those stories that’s been used in content - books, games, movies, etc. - hundreds of times just because it is very self-explanatory. There was once a boy named Icarus, who together with the high father nurtured a dream to invent a device that would help humans fly. One day, they finally came up with a pair of wings, crafted masterfully with the use of wax and real feathers. Icarus made the test flight, and it was a success! Thirsty for the feeling of freedom and power that the wings gave him, Icarus attempted several other flights, each time going higher and higher up.

His father warned him that there should sometimes be a limit to ambition, but Icarus disobeyed. As he went for his highest flight, he approached the Sun too closely, and its heat melted the wax and fathers, and Icarus died.

On the reels of this game, however, reel spinning is not as dramatic, and Icarus manages to stay within the reels when ascending, which leads to some successful winning combinations. Located on the reels next to him are such symbols as the wings, tools, vases, helmets, laurel wreaths, and card icons from Ace to ten. We would also like to mention good visuals, as well as quality sound effects and music.

PAYTABLE EXPLAINED

The layout combines five reels and three rows with 243 ways to win. Per a spin, you may invest anywhere between 0.25 cents to 50 credits, which covers the needs of the low and medium rollers. Maximum advertised bet multiplier per a spin (within a triggered feature) can reach up to 16,864x, but this is also a chance that you may have to wait for too long for.

Special Icons

• Scattered coin will unlock the free spins.
• Icarus is Wild, and it does not pay on its own, but it unlocks features, as well as acts as one of the three special mini-feature triggers.

Regular Icons

• Collect up to 50x the line stake for a five-of-a-kind combination of a helmet.
• Value of the golden laurel wreath reaches 25x the line stake.
• The wings will bestow up to 10x the line stake.
• Five-of-a-kind combinations of either vases or tools will bestow up to 5x or 4x the line stake, respectively.
• Value of card icons from Ace to ten will be anywhere between 2x to 0.30x the line stake.

BONUSES & ADDITIONAL WINNING POSSIBILITIES

Once Icarus appears on the reels, either of the three Wild modifications can happen:

• The icon will either start it ascent up the reel as a Nudging Wild, visible and active until it leaves the gamefield.
• It can be first nailed to its position for two to four spins as a Locked Wil before it starts to nudge,
• or it can also have a multiplier of anywhere between 2x to 4x the initial payout.

There can also be free spins unlocked by three or more scatters. There are played on the expanded grid of four rows and 1,024 ways to win. Instead of a limited number, these bonus rotations will go on for as long as there will be Wilds on the reels.
