Usually IGT like to release maybe one or two big games a month.
Well, turns out Easter brings the best out of IGT because we get 3 new mobile slots, each very different.
The IGT games in question are:
- Champions Raceway: a classic slot out on the 16th of March
- The Wild Life slot: 10 paylines of Serengeti fun out on the 30th of March
- Icy Wilds: an intriguing 50 paylines game out on the 30th of March
We take a look at each and see which seems the most exciting.
We start with the classic Champion Raceway slot
It’s been a while since we’ve written about a classic 3 reel slot.
They don’t tend to come out very often, mostly because they are not as sexy as big 243 ways to win games, or big bonus game slots.
We Love Fire Joker by Play’n GO; unique, fun, and plenty of action.
That said, IGT have some of the best around, with the likes of Triple Diamonds or Hot Roll Super Time Pays on the books.
So don’t skip over this Champion Raceway game just because it has 3 reels instead of 5.
A classic fruity with a bonus game
The theme, we give you, might get some mixed reviews. On one hand, it’s a vintage theme for a vintage slot.
On the other, it’s a drab; like one of those arcade games that’s been sitting out by the seaside for far too many years, unloved and unused.
But that’s something we’ll be able to get a better idea of once it’s out. What we know for sure is that the Champion Raceway slot has:
- 5 paylines over 3×3 reels
- The race feature (above the reels) awards either a jackpots or a Victory Lap Bonus with increasing multiplier
- You get multipliers on the wild that can go up to 9x in both the base and bonus game
- You never lose the positions of your horses as they are saved once you log out
Are we excited about this new IGT game?
There’s a reason we started with this Champion Raceway mobile slot; it looks interesting, but we’re not sure it will be our cup of tea.
Mostly it’s the theme that puts us off, if we are going to be honest. We never were big fans, even with cult games like the Frankie Dettori’s slot.
Because, actually, the multiplier and the bonus race game looks pretty interesting; especially when you add those wild multipliers to the mix.
The jury is still out, but we’re going to say this is going to be a middle of the road 3 star slot review.
The Wild Life slot looks dangerous to play
Anytime you have big bad animals on the reels, you can be guaranteed that it means big bad wins from IGT.
Look at the Prowling Panther slot, for example. It’s as aggressive as they come. So will this Wild Life mobile game live up to expectations?
- Get 20/50 free spins no deposit
- Up to £1,500/$€1,000 in deposit bonuses
- A further 100 free spins on top
Yes it does, in every way
For one, it’s a 10 payline slot, which is unusual for IGT slot games, where (usually) the more paylines the better, and it’s hard to find a game to play for under 0.50 a spin.
So not only is this unusual, but the theme looks pretty neat too. Instead of ultra realistic safari, you have a Mega Moolah like graphics which keeps things modern and fun.
But not as much fun as the features themselves:
- 10 paylines over 5×3 reels
- You get expanding wilds throughout the game
- Free Spins Bonus features gives you 10, 15, or 20 free spins
- In the bonus games the Expanding Wilds stay locked for the rest of the bonus as Sticky Wilds
This promises to be a dangerous, exciting thrill
Look, we can’t say for sure how much you’ll be able to win. That’s why this is a slot preview, not a slot review.
But when IGT say that a slot game pays out big, then don’t tend to mess around. We’re talking thousands on even just a £1 bet.
And we’ve yet to meet a slot with sticky wilds we didn’t like; whether that’s a machine like Dead or Alive or the Poltava slot.
Both big win games, by the way.

Icy Wilds slot comes a little late in the game
Just as we start opening windows to clear out the house, and the weather gets a little warmer, IGT remind us of Winter with this Icy Wilds slot.
You can’t deny that it looks pretty though; especially with those northern lights twinkling in the background whilst the princess in the reels smile kindly at her polar animal sidekick.
It’s almost worthy of Disney.
Just a shame that we’re all thinking of Spring – that said, if you live in Iceland this game might still be perfectly themed for the season.
- 10 Free spins no deposit on Piggy Riches
- 250% up to £€$250
- A further 3 deposit bonuses + 85 free spins
Stacked symbols and stacked wilds
What’s really intriguing is that when we asked IGT what slots this Icy Wilds game remind them of, they name two which we wouldn’t have imagined; Siberian Storm MegaJackpots (or without), and the Golden Jungle machine.
Both 4 star reviews, so both very good games. Here are the features and you can make up your own mind:
- 50 paylines over 5×4 reels
- Each reel includes large stacks of the same symbol, to increase chances for bigger wins and wild reels
- A full stack of symbols on one reel will turn that reel wild.
- 4 symbol-high Ice Princess is the highest paying symbol of the lot
- Start the Free Spins Bonus with 10 to 45 free spins.
A middle of the road game that promises plenty of action
Don’t get us wrong. We suspect that out of all 3 of these games, Icy Wilds is probably the one where you won’t have the opportunity to win as much.
That said, it’s also the one that probably won’t destroy your budget in 5 quick spins.
Stacked symbols are always great fun; but stacked symbols that turn into stacked wilds? Now that sounds like our kind of good time, even if it means having to linger a little longer in the cold.
Just look at slots like Wolf Rising; except here you get it in traditional 5×4 reels.
It’s the one we are most excited to play.
But why wait till the 30th of March 2017 when there’s a whole selection of amazing IGT slot games you can spin at Guts casino?
New players will get 10 free spin plus a 250% bonus on your first deposit, exclusive to you.
