Snowfall Queen

Venture deep into the northern lands and witness a real winter and the Queen of it all. Prepare yourself for a blizzard of wins as the Snowfall Queen enters the reels with her special powers. The game comes with a bit of a strange reel setup, respins, magic wheels, and plenty of other things it’s worthwhile to take a look at. Expect high variance and big wins.

Theme

A snow-covered forest extends beyond the horizon at the background, while a gentle snowfall welcomes the Queen to the screen. You have your usual playing cards form part of the symbols, but there are a collection of symbols that derive their meaning from Nordic nature. Bears, owls, foxes, and wolves from the cast of high-paying symbols. The music and audio effects lay a veil of mystery and bitter cold on the screen, making you ready to welcome the Queen herself.

Betting Options and Functions

The minimum bet here starts from 0.40 coins and goes all the way to 320 coins per spin. Most people will probably be playing with the lower end bet, as why would you play at all if you could thrown in three hundred and change per spin? In any case, there’s plenty of different coin values to choose from.

The reel setup is a bit strange here, though by no means unique. The first and last reels come with three rows of symbols, whereas the three middle reels have four rows of symbols. This means that when you are extra lucky it really does show in the payouts.

Payouts are of the usual size and quality, topping out at 800 times your line bet. This comes with five bears on an active payline. From there it goes down step by step, with the themed symbols starting their range of payouts from 15 times your bet per line. The playing cards offer between 8 and 120 times the bet line bet. As usual, three symbol minimum is required to land a prize.

Features

Since the Queen doesn’t show up as a regular symbol you can be certain to spot her during the special features. The Queen is, of course, a wild one. Should she expand to fill a whole reel you will land an automatic respin. The symbol only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4.

The scatter in turn is what triggers the Magic Wheel Bonus. The more scatter symbols you land the more pick you get on the magic wheel. Six scatters will land the maximum of six picks. In this game, you get to pick ice cubes, which adds cash wins and multipliers. At the end of the picks, the whole sum will be credited to you.

Our Take

Skywind has done quite a decent job with this slot. It doesn’t offer anything truly spectacular but manages to keep things interesting for those who end up trying the game. Bonus picks and expanding wilds combined with the reel setup leads to possibilities of massive wins.
