Wins of Winter Slot Review

Wins of Winter Slot Overview

Wins of Winter is a new casino slot from Fantasma Games, taking the player to a winter landscape with ice, snow, and cheerful Christmas music with bells and violins. An older white-haired man with a long beard and wizard hat will bring the biggest wins. Snowflakes landing on the reels will mark the position until a golden snowflake turns all connected positions into wild symbols. The somewhat crazy-looking snowman can take you to the bonus game where up to 18 gifts await, paying up to 20X the bet each. This fantasy world offers wins up to 5000X the bet.

Wins of Winter is a video slot from Fantasma Games with 5 reels with changing rows going 3-4-5-4-3. You’ll find 20 paylines and a wide bet range going from the Min.bet 0.2 to the Max.bet 160. The RTP is exactly 96.00%, and the max win awards 5000X the bet. Fantasma Games has not yet published the game’s volatility.

Help can be found in several places in this winter landscape. Features to look out for are Scatter Symbol, Wild Symbol, Snow Symbol, Wild Winter Feature, Progression Meter, Mirror Feature, Chest Symbol, and Bonus Game.

Wins of Winter Slot Information

Snow falls to the ground, and a star is shining bright at the top of the screen. A little dam with ice is in the foreground, and snow-covered pine trees stand further away. The sky is pretty cloudy, but the joyful music helps create a feeling far away from dull. The 5 reels, with rows going 3-4-5-4-3, sit in the middle of a giant ice block. On top of the block is a Progression Meter, counting all snow symbols that land. To make a win, the player needs to land at least 3 of the same symbols on a payline going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel, and the game is available on desktops, notepads, and mobile phones.

The lower-paying symbols in this winter land are 10, J, Q, K, and A in different colors. Landing a 5-of-a-kind win with any of them awards 0.75X to 1X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are 4 gemstones in purple, green, yellow, and red, and a wizard-looking man wearing a pointy blue hat and a big beard. These symbols award between 1.25X and 3.5X the bet. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols and also pays on its own the same amount as the wizard. It doesn’t substitute the Scatter Symbol, the Snow Symbol, or the Chest Symbol.

What features are available in the slot Wins of Winter?

The features are Scatter Symbol, Wild Symbol, Snow Symbol, Wild Winter Feature, Progression Meter, Mirror Feature, Chest Symbol, and Bonus Game.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter Symbol is a snowman with a purple hat and branches as hair. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the base game. Landing 3 symbols activates the Bonus Game.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a golden “w.” It only appears in the Winter Wild Feature where it can land on all positions. The Wild Symbol substitutes all regular paying symbols but not the scatter, snow, or chest symbol.

Snow Symbol

The snow symbol is a white snowflake that can appear anywhere in the base game. Whenever it lands, it marks a frozen frame on that position which stays during the following spins until the Wild Winter Feature is triggered. You still make regular wins the same way, even if one or several symbols end up in a frozen frame.

Wild Winter Feature

The Snow Symbol can randomly turn golden in the base game, activating the Wild Winter Feature. The golden symbol and all adjacent frozen frames, as well as the frozen frames next to them, turn into wild symbols on the next spin. Non-adjacent frozen frames that don’t transform into wilds stay on the reels until they’re transformed in another Wild Winter Feature. Positions that turn into wilds become regular again when the Wild Winter spin is over.

Progression Meter

One point is added to the Progression Meter above the reels every time a snow symbol lands. The meter has 3 milestones:

50 points = Activates Mirror Feature

100 points = Activates Mirror Feature

150 points = Upgrades Bonus Game Multiplier

The progression meter resets every time it reaches 150. The Bonus Game Multiplier starts at 1X and is upgraded one step every time the progression meter reaches 150 points in the following order 2X, 3X, 5X, 7X, 10X, 12X, 15X, 20X, 25X, 30X, 40X, 50X, 60X, 80X, 100X. After reaching 100X, the Bonus Game Multiplier doesn’t increase anymore. The meter is reset to 1X after the Bonus Game has been triggered and played.

Mirror Feature

Frozen and golden frames on reels 1 and 2 are mirrored to reels 4 and 5 on the right side, and the right side frames are mirrored to the left. If the target position already has a frame, the action is skipped.

Chest Symbol

The Chest Symbol is a red and golden chest that can appear on the fifth reel in the base game. When it lands, it awards 3-6 points on the progression meter or places 2-4 frozen frames at random positions on the reels.

Bonus Game

The Bonus Game will have between 9 and 18 gifts waiting for the player. Clicking on each gift awards a cash prize between 0.25X and 20X the bet. All cash prizes are summed up and multiplied by the Bonus Game Multiplier. The multiplier resets to 1X when the game is over, and the base game continues like it was when the feature was triggered.

Wins of Winter Slot Conclusion

Wins of Winter brings a cosy Christmas feeling with the typical Fantasma Games design reminding of titles such as Caravan of Riches and Magikspell. All of them have the same setup with a changing number of rows and 20 paylines. The Wins of Winter demo game we played didn’t reveal the volatility, but it’s probably around mid/high. The max win of 5000X the bet is far lower than in the other mentioned games, but still good enough to give Wins of Winter some playing time.

There are several exciting features. The Wild Winter turning all frozen frames into wilds is one sweet extra, and the Mirror Feature duplicating frozen frames can turn this into a big wild party. The Bonus Game is the best-paying feature, but it doesn’t feel quite as exciting as a free spins session. One compelling detail is that the player doesn’t know how many gifts there are, so it’s impossible to know if there will be another gift coming up or if the feature will end. The multiplier can make the bonus game much more valuable, but you have most probably played the base game for quite some time without landing the bonus feature if the multiplier is high.

Wins of Winter from Fantasma Games have magic snow symbols turning clusters into wilds and a Bonus Game with a multiplier that goes up to 100X.
