Head out into the icy wilds in Stakelogic’s latest offering, Snowflake Sorcery, a fairytale-inspired video slot with 5 reels and 20 paylines. Meet the Ice Witch, her sisters and a plethora of pets as they wake after a long slumber to sprinkle magic and Wilds across the reels.
About Snowflake Sorcery
Deeply rooted in the fairytale realm, Snowflake Sorcery is set in a wintry landscape with scattered snow and boulders. The reels sit in the centre of the screen and are framed in ice. Each spin is accompanied by a flurry of snowflakes, adding to the icy atmosphere.
Four stones—a starstone, eyestone, moonstone, and snowflake stone—make up the low-paying symbols. Five-of-a-kind awards 2x to 5x the bet. The high-paying symbols are a cat, a frog, a hook, and a book—five-of-a-kind awards 10x to 250x the bet.
A frozen ‘W’ is the wild and pays 5x, 25x or 250x for 3, 4 or 5 on a spin respectively. The Scatter is a gold symbol with a ‘B’ and triggers the free spins feature.
Snowflake Sorcery is available on desktop and mobile devices from 20p to £70 per spin. It’s played with high volatility and an RTP of 96%, in line with the industry average. The max win is capped at 6,000x the bet.
Gameplay and Features
The features in Snowflake Sorcery include Wilds, Witch Levels, Free Spins, Super Stake and a Buy Bonus option.
Wilds
The Wild is a substitute for all symbols, except the Scatter, to help form winning combinations. It also pays on its own. If three, four, or five Wilds land in a combination, they award 5x, 25x, or 250x the bet, respectively.
Witch Levels
The Witch Levels feature triggers randomly in the base game. A Witch sits above each of the reels, and when this feature triggers, one or multiple Witches have a randomly assigned level between 1 and 5. The Witch Level determines the number of Wild symbols cast below the reels, placed diagonally or vertically. During the Free spins, the Witch Levels do not reset and continue casting Wilds onto the reels.
Free Spins
During the base game, if 3 or more Scatters land on a spin, the Free Spins feature triggers, awarding up to 30 Free Spins. Landing another 3 or more, Scatters retriggers, the Free Spins feature and additional Free Spins are awarded. At the beginning of the Free Spin, the Witch Levels are 0. If a Scatter lands on a reel, the Witch above increases by 1 to a max of 5. As mentioned above, the Witch Levels do not reset during the Free Spins, and the Wilds are continually cast onto the reels.
Super Stake
For an extra 50% of the current bet, you can trigger the Super Stake. Once triggered, the chances of triggering the Free Spins doubles.
Buy Bonus
100x the bet buys you direct access to the Free Spins for between 10 and 30 free spins.
Conclusion
Snowflake Sorcery is a charming slot with excellent Amine-style graphics and high-risk, high-reward gameplay. The unique features, particularly the Witch Levels and the Free Spins, provide an engaging experience that keeps you on your toes. The max win potential of 6,000x combined with a solid RTP makes it the perfect choice for those who prefer chasing big wins while appreciating the magic of a winter wonderland.
