Summary:

- Betting range from $/€0.20 – $/€100
- Max win of 10,000x
If you enjoy cold themes and icy visuals, ELK Studios’ newly released “Ice Wolf 2” is likely to suit your needs.
Arriving six years later after the original launch, the follow-up introduces additional layers, features, and a noticeably higher ceiling for potential wins.
Everything about Ice Wolf 2 leans hard into its frozen setting. The reels, the background, even the Viking ships wedged into a cavern of ice all hammer home the same point.
In other words, expect a cold place to spend your spins. Once the free spins kick in, the scene remains the same, but an aurora lights up the background and the soundtrack shifts, drifting between eerie atmospherics and full-on metal when the wins start stacking up.
The layout is split into three parts: a feature row at the top, an ice-covered section beneath it, and a main 6×3 grid offering 729 ways to win.
Early spins feel restricted because much of the grid is locked under ice. As you break through those blocks, extra rows open up and the game expands to over 100,000 ways to win. Stakes run from €0.20 to €100, volatility is high, and the RTP sits at 94%.
Symbol-wise, it sticks to a Nordic theme, with card ranks at the low end and shields, weapons, animals, and wolves higher up. Payouts are modest unless you hit six-of-a-kind, where the top symbols can return up to 5x your bet.
Special Features
Where Ice Wolf 2 really sets itself apart is in how much is going on during a spin. Respins, sticky wilds, Golden Wilds with multipliers, and a long list of wolf-triggered effects all push the action forward.
Wolves clear ice, turn symbols wild, boost multipliers, and keep rounds alive longer than you might expect.
The biggest change is the addition of a free spins mode called Wolf Spins. This feature works by opening a new section called the Wolf Den that leans heavily into turning large chunks of the grid wild and feels like the payoff for all the slow build-up in the base game.
All in all, while Ice Wolf 2 might not reinvent the idea, it does a good job of sharpening it. The game might feel grindy at times, and there is something slightly old-school about its pacing, yet the increased max win of 10,000x and the expanded feature set give it real bite.
