Guardians of Ice and Fire

Released on 26 January 2021, Guardians of Ice and Fire stages the clash of two elemental guardians, ice and fire, in an openly yin/yang composition. It is also the title that established PG Soft's diamond-shaped 2-3-4-4-3-2 grid — 6 reels whose height increases toward the centre — for a total of 576 ways to win. The game's strongest idea: during free spins the grid expands and the number of ways to win is multiplied by four, up to 2,304. The RTP is 96.7% with medium volatility, which makes sessions steadier than on the studio's high-variance titles. Two mechanics carry the potential: the multiplier wild, which applies x2 to every win it takes part in, and the free spins multiplier climbing up to x10. PG Soft advertises a ceiling of 50,000x the stake: as often with this studio, that number is a theoretical mathematical bound and is very rarely approached in real conditions. One last practical point: bets start at €0.60, three times the developer's usual entry level, and go up to €180.
