Ice Cave on LPE88: Norse Symbols, Frozen Wilds and the Hammer
Jarl, Valkyrie and Fenrir share the reels in this Lucky Palace slot, where frozen wilds and a smashing hammer do the heavy lifting.
Ice Cave takes its cast from Norse mythology and puts two different wilds to work. On LPE88 it is one of the few Lucky Palace slots where the wild mechanics matter more than the theme.
The Norse cast on the reels
The symbols are drawn from the old Scandinavian stories:
- Jarl, the son of the god Ríg
- Valkyrie, the warrior maiden who chooses who dies in battle
- Fenrir, the ferocious wolf
- Raven
- Longship

Ice Wilds and the 5x multiplier
Ice Wilds are the first of the two special symbols. Any win they help complete is paid at 5x, which is a big step up from a plain substitute. They are linked to the feature bet, so it is worth opening the bet panel to see whether that option is switched on before you spin.
How the Hammer Wild clears the ice
The Hammer Wild only falls on reel 2. It replaces any symbol to complete a line and applies a 3x multiplier to the win. When it lands, it also smashes and removes any Ice Wilds frozen on that reel.
So the two wilds interact: one freezes in place and pays big, the other hits harder on a single reel but clears the ice away. Neither changes the fact that results are random and the house keeps its edge.
If you want to try it, play Ice Cave on LPE88 with a stake you are comfortable losing. There are more LPE88 reviews in the Lucky Palace section.
