Choose Your Teams! Feature
Ice Hockey has a special feature, which allows you to choose and change the teams and Free Game's Flag images that appear on the reels. The player must choose a team and then the members of the selected team are used in the game. The teams can be chosen when entering the game or can be changed at any time during the main game, when the reels are not spinning and when not in Auto Play mode. The team's images and the Free Games Flag symbols on the screen are automatically updated.
In addition, the Paytable, Choose Your Teams!, Mixed Pay and Free Games info pages are also updated according to your choice. These choices do not influence the paytable values and the sum of a winning combination, but only the images that appear on the screen.
When entering the game for the first time, you must choose 2 teams (one from the left and one from the right column) before being able to see the reels. When re-entering the game, you may choose 2 new teams or simply continue to the reels with the previously selected teams. You have to choose two teams to play with, out of the following countries: Finland, Sweden, Canada, USA, Russia, Germany or the Czech Republic. Three members from each selected team will appear on the reels.
Lines Pay Both Ways
The member symbols from the first team (represented on the left, when making a choice of teams) pay left to right, when appearing on an active payline and on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel. The member symbols from the second team (represented on the right, when making a choice of teams) pay right to left, when appearing on an active payline and adjacent reels, starting with the rightmost reel.
The Wild and Royal symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10, 9) pay in both directions in the main game and during the Free Games feature. Payline wins in both directions are paid simultaneously on the selected lines. The player will get the highest payline win in each direction. However, 5 of a kind will be paid only once. During the Free Games feature, all symbols pay left to right and right to left except Scatter, which pays any. Payline wins in both directions are paid simultaneously on the selected lines. The player will get the highest payline win in each direction. However, 5 of a kind will be paid only once.
Wild symbol
The Wild symbol in the game can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter, either of the Flag symbols, or the Puck symbol, to make the best possible winning combination. There is also a separate payout for two or more Wild symbols on an active payline, as seen in the Paytable. This is paid out instead of the regular symbol win if the win amount from Wilds is larger than the win from the regular symbols (by Wild standing in). The Wild symbols do not substitute in Mixed Pay combinations. They pay in both directions - left to right and right to left.
Scatter symbol
The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on any particular payline. If there are two or more Scatters in the spin results, the payout earned is multiplied by the total bet and added to payline winnings.
Pass the Puck Bonus!
The Hockey Puck symbol appears only on reels #2 and #4 during the main game. If after a spin the Hockey Puck symbol appears anywhere on reel #2 with a left-side team member (represented on the left, when making a choice of teams) on its immediate left on reel #1 (see the screenshot below), the puck will be passed among all of his team members appearing on the reels. For every member that touches the puck, 3 times the total bet of the triggering spin is won.
If after a spin the Hockey Puck symbol appears anywhere on reel #4 with a right-side team member (represented on the right, when making a choice of teams) on its immediate right on reel #5 (see the screenshot below), the puck will be passed among all of his team members appearing on the reels. For every member that touches the puck, 3 times the total bet of the spin that triggered the bonus is paid. The Pass the Puck Bonus! can be triggered only during main game. It can be triggered simultaneously for both teams and will be played and paid for both. The Pass the Puck Bonus! wins are added to the payline and Scatter wins.
