We get hands-on with Ice Vacation by Just Slots to playtest the Vortex bonus feature and review the latest mobile UI updates.
Launched in 2026, Just Slots is one of the hottest newcomers to the online casino space, boasting a game catalogue featuring a diverse range of themes, settings, bonus features, and maximum payouts.
What is really impressive is that this new studio just released a gamified approach to the Bonus Buy feature and updated their mobile casino interface.
Join me as I go hands-on with both, and let you know how it all pans out.
Love it or hate it, the Bonus Buy feature is here to stay. While many slot fans, myself included, love the idea of jumping directly into a free spins bonus round, the price can sometimes be prohibitive.
With some Bonus Buy entries costing as much as 500 times your base bet, it's difficult to justify trading the equivalent of 500 spins for a single bonus game.
This is where Vortex is a game changer. Vortex gamifies the Bonus Buy experience, letting me choose how much I want to bet to win access to the bonus feature I want to activate.
Just Slots has made the process of playing Vortex incredibly intuitive. Load your preferred video slot (I chose Ice Vacation), open the VIP shop (look for the VIP+ button), scroll down to the neon Vortex banner and click the ‘Gamble’ link.

From there, follow these steps to place your bet.
You will now be transported from the slot menu to the super cool Vortex wheel mini-game where you get to spin to win your chosen bonus feature - for a fraction of its ‘buy now’ price.

Embarrassing self-report. Don’t be like me and look at the background colour of “win” or “lose”. Wins and losses are based on the colour of the circle next to the text.
