Ice Mints Slot by Pragmatic Play

Three Cups Under the Grid

Red soda cups sit below reels 2, 3, and 4. Every spin, random multipliers appear on random cups - anywhere from 2x to 20x on the middle reels, up to 25x on reel 4. When a Mints symbol lands above a cup, it drops in and gets replaced by a new symbol. Sometimes this triggers a full Wild expansion on that reel, applying the cup's multiplier to every winning line. Two or three cups activating at once multiply their values together.

The Mints symbol pays nothing on its own. It exists to feed the cups. A Mints on reels 1 or 5 is dead space - taking a position that a paying symbol could have occupied.

All Food, No Royals

Eight symbols split into fruit and drinks. Strawberry leads at 40x for five of a kind (that's 2x your total bet per line hit). Kiwi follows at 20x, orange at 15x, blueberry at 10x. The drink side - cola bottle, rainbow cup, striped cup, juice box - sits between 2.5x and 5x. No card royals on this grid, which gives it a cleaner visual read than most Pragmatic Play releases. Without active cup multipliers, base game payouts are paper-thin.

Free Spins: Build or Burn

Three scatters start the bonus with 10 free spins. Four give 15, five give 20. Inside the bonus, cups reset to zero and stop receiving random multipliers. The mechanic shifts completely. Each Mints that drops into a cup now adds +1x to that cup's permanent multiplier, but only if it doesn't trigger a Wild expansion. A Mints that does trigger the Wild gives immediate wins using the cup's current value, but the cup doesn't grow.

This creates a genuinely unusual tradeoff. The flashy outcome (Wild expansion, paylines lighting up) actually slows your multiplier growth. You want Mints to drop quietly into cups early, building values that make late-round Wild triggers explosive. By spin 12 or 15, cups at 5x-8x start making each expansion count. Retriggering adds more spins (3/4/5 scatters = +10/+15/+20), stretching the build window.

The 80x Gamble

Buying free spins costs 80x total bet. At €1, that's €80 for a randomly determined scatter count. Max win hits 10,000x at roughly 1-in-4.5-million odds - this isn't jackpot territory. Most bonus rounds land somewhere in the 50x-500x range, with occasional 1,000x+ hits when the multiplier build goes long enough. The bonus triggers naturally about once every 180 spins.

The cup mechanic is original. No other slot on the market uses this exact collect-and-multiply-under-the-reels system. But Pragmatic Play bolted it onto a standard 5x3 grid with 20 fixed paylines, and the mismatch shows. The base game between bonuses runs dry, and even the bonus round needs enough early Mints drops to build multipliers before the spin count runs out. A strong concept that needed a bigger stage.
