Dungeons & Dragons Treasures of Icewind Dale Pokies
It may have a long-winded title, but Dungeons & Dragons – Treasures of Icewind Dale is part of a popular series of pokies from IGT that are loosely themed around the famous role-playing game.
Ever since Game of Thrones hit the screens the whole fantasy world genre has become very much in favour, so more and more people are searching for games that have knight, dragons, old weapons and the odd ogre across the reels.
This one delivers them in spades, along with some nice bonus features like stacked symbols, wild substitutions and a free spins round where extra wilds can result in bumper payouts.
Playing Dungeons & Dragons Treasures of Icewind Dale
Set in a frozen and windy land, which is pretty much obvious from the title, this pokie is spread out over 5 reels, with 3 rows of symbols and running left to right across the game, players will have 30 lines to place their wagers on.
All lines are activated automatically, so the least that can be placed on a spin is 0.30, and anyone feeling brave enough, or looking to score some massive wins, can go all the way up to 600.00 a go.
Wins are equivalent to the amount staked per line and 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols will need to land across one, on sequential reels to win a prize.
Various deadly weapons like axes, hammers, swords and the like, make up the lower-value symbols, with each worth 1x, 10x or 25x the line bet when landing across a line, but players will want to see the character symbols turn up as often as possible, as these will reward them with bigger payouts for the same combinations.
Those in the know will recognise some of the warriors, but for most people, it’s enough to know that these are worth anything from 10x their line bet up to 500x depending on who lands and how many stop across a line.

Bonus Features
Before each and every spin, 1 symbol is randomly selected to be stacked on the reels, so wherever it turns up for that spin, the whole reel will can filled with it, giving better odds that a winning line will be formed. These Dynamic Stacks may occur all the time, but can turn several reels into identical stacks for some big payouts.
The D&D icon, with a couple of dragon heads on it, is the wild in this game, so anytime players have matching symbols and the wild on a line, it will act as another example of the symbol and pay out accordingly. This way, it creates extra winning combinations, or turns lines of 3 or 4 into lines of 4 or 5 which will ensure players bag wins that are worth far more.
Talking of bags, a bag of gold is a bonus symbol which will pay out 3x the stake when it lands on the middle 3 reels, while also taking players to a free spins round.15 spins are awarded, and they can be retriggered by getting 3 or more bonus symbols at any point throughout them, with a potential maximum of 225 to play.
To help make these spins a more rewrading experience, the wild has some extra features during them. Although it will only appear on reels 2 and 5, there’s a special treat when it’s on the fifth, as it will place a dice next to one of the character symbols. Once any of these has collected 3 dice, he or she will become an extra wild for the remaining free games, making it even easier to get some big wins.
The Verdict
Treasures of Icewind Dale joins Crystal Caverns and an original Dungeons & Dragons pokie across the many casinos that carry the IGT range. It’s a matter of personal preference, but this one certainly has the most interesting bonus features, although it lacks the Tumbling Reels of Crystal Caverns that can bring in multiple wins from a single spin.
However, Treasures of Icewind Dale makes up for it with enhanced images and graphics, quality symbols and the stacked reels on each spin. Some of the bonus features are certainly interesting, particularly the extra wild symbols that can build up throughout the free spins round so that towards the end if it, players can have multiple wilds in effect.
Anyone who is a fan of the other games, likes the role-playing board game, enjoys Game of Thrones or just likes to play a good pokie, should give this game a try at the many casinos where IGT software is found.
