Snowflake Sorcery

Theme and Design

Snowflake Sorcery takes a witchy theme, but perhaps not as you’d expect it. The game doesn’t deal in the warty-nosed broom-riding variety of witches, but rather in cutesy anime-style witches with silver locks and magical Wild symbol producing powers. 

The theme is pretty! It’s icy cold with a backdrop of boulders covered in snow. The witches are the standout feature in terms of design, each with captivating eyes and magical robes. 

RTP and Variance

Snowflake Sorcery has a default RTP of 96.00% which is bang on the money in terms of fairness. It combines this with medium volatility, offering an even win distribution.

Tip: Operators can choose a different RTP rate: 95.48%, 93.81%, 89.95%, or 87.97%. It’s super important that you check the RTP you’re playing at, as obviously, the default is the preference.

Maximum Win

With a top payout of 6,000x your stake, Snowflake Sorcery is slightly towards the lower end of the online slot market. It’s not a prize that we’d be upset at winning, but equally, there are bigger payouts to be found elsewhere!

Symbols and Paytable

The game features 5 reels and 5 rows, with 20 paylines. Wins are achieved by landing 3 or more identical symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The game has 9 pay symbols, in addition to a wild and a scatter. The low-value symbols are moonstone, starstone, eyestone, and snowflake stone, which pay between 2x and 8x the bet for 5 of a kind. The premium symbols, including a hat, book, pot, frog, and cat, award between 10x and 250x the bet for 5 of a kind.

Features and Gameplay

Snowflake Sorcery brings some interesting mechanics thanks to the introduction of witches! Let’s take a look at how the magic works.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol substitutes all symbols except the scatter symbol, to help make winning combinations. Interestingly, this symbol doesn’t appear directly on the reels but is placed by the Ice Witch during the Witch Levels Feature. Depending on the number of wild symbols in a winning combination (3, 4, or 5), the payouts are 5x, 25x, or 250x the bet, respectively.

Witch Levels Feature

The Witch Levels Feature can be randomly triggered during the base game, activating a Witch above one or more reels. Each Witch has levels ranging from 1 to 5, which you’ll see highlighted on activation. These levels correspond to the number of wild symbols the witch will throw down (either diagonally or straight). So, a level 3 Witch casts 3 wild symbols onto the reels.

Free Spins

The free spins feature is triggered by landing 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during the base game. Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols awards 10, 15, or 30 Free Spins, respectively. This feature can be retriggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, granting 3, 4, or 5 additional free spins, respectively. 

At the start of the feature, all Witch Levels are 0. Whenever a scatter symbol lands in view, the Witch directly above it increases by 1, up to a maximum of 5. The Witch Levels remain unchanged for the remaining free spins.

Super Stake

If you want an increased chance of triggering the bonus game then you can choose the Super Stake option for an additional 50% of the current stake. This doubles your chances of the bonus triggering.
