Snowflakes Slot Gameplay
Snowflakes slot is a 5-reel, 25-payline game that can give you some seriously big wins! To start the game, you need to set your bet first. To do so, you need to do 2 things:
- Adjust the number of paylines you are going to play with. You can choose a single payline, all 25 paylines or anything in between.
- Select your coin size, which can range from 0.01 to 20.
Together, these two adjustments give you a betting range from 30p all the way up to £600! This means that all types of players will enjoy trying their luck with this game.
Snowflakes has an RTP of 96.579%, which is pretty decent, and it has a medium-to-high variance. This means that you can get some pretty hefty wins when you play this slot machine. On the downside, it also means that there will be long periods when you either win only small amounts or even nothing at all. And then all of a sudden, you win big prizes. With such a game, it is best to keep your bets small (if you’re on a budget) so that you can spin the reels as many times as possible. And it is also wise to keep all 25 paylines activated. This way, you push up your chances of getting those big wins.
Once you have set your bet, you can begin the game. To win, you need to land at least 3 snowflakes of the same pattern on the reels. To win bigger prizes, you should land a higher number and a higher value of snowflakes on the reels. The highest value snowflake in this slot can give you a payout of 400x your bet if you land all 5 along a payline.
Snowflakes Slot Additional Game Features
To really snag those big wins, you need to land the special symbols or trigger the additional game features. And unlike many other NextGen slots, this game has a ton of additional game features!
Wild Symbol – The Wild symbol in Snowflakes is the Wild Ice Cube symbol. This is by far the most lucrative symbol of the game, and if you land 5 of them on a single payline, you can win 500x your stake. The main function of this symbol is to act as a substitute for all other symbols (not the Scattered Ice Crystal!) so that your chances of creating winning combinations increase.
Icy Wild Feature – This is a feature that is randomly activated in the base game. When this feature reveals itself, as many as 5 symbols (one per reel) are converted into Wilds.
Wild Wind Feature – This feature is also activated randomly in the base game. When this happens, a wild wind blows across the reelscape and as many as 5 Wilds are added across the reels.
Scattered Ice Crystal – The Scattered Ice Crystal is what triggers the main game feature – the Frozen Wilds Free Games Round. It also gives you payouts.
- 3 Ice Crystals anywhere on the reels wins you 5x your bet.
- 4 Ice Crystals will win you 20x your bet.
- 5 Ice Crystals will win you 100x your bet.
Frozen Wilds Free Game Feature – If you land 3 Ice Crystal Scatters, you will win 7 free spins. 4 Ice Crystals on the reels snag you 10 free spins and 5 Ice Crystals across the reels win you 5 free spins. But that’s not all that makes this bonus round so interesting. You also get the Frozen Wilds feature. In case a Wild lands on a reel (or even more than one Wild) it will become frozen in place for the rest of the Free Spins round. And as if you land more Wilds, they too will become frozen on the reels. This feature really enhances your winning potential in this game!
And if you land 3 or more Ice Crystals during this game, you can win up to 15 more free spins!
Game Design
Launched in 2017, Snowflakes by NextGen is a stunningly designed slot machine. The winter theme of this game is absolutely beautiful. The background is a snowy landscape that glows in the dark night sky.
It is said that each snowflake in the world has a unique shape and this game proves it. All the symbols are snowflakes, each with its own unique, perfect design and colour. And as they spin on the reels you can get hypnotized by their sheer beauty. The peaceful music is mesmerizing and you will love the way the music changes and picks up tempo in the bonus games. The animations are simple, the symbols swirl and light up, glowing even more strongly when they are a part of a winning combination.
This is one of the best game designs we have seen from NextGen, and this visual treat is one of the main reasons why this game is so awesome.
