YGGDRASIL Gaming’s Winterberries fills your screen with color. This is an enticing online video slot with some individual twists. This is literally a fruit machine but in this instance, the fruit takes on the lessor seen winter variants in stunning high definition. Just in case there was any doubt as to the season, some of the fruit freezes up. The whole game has less a theme tune and more of a theme ambiance with an appropriate sound of wind and cold.
Game Features
The online slot features a relatively standard 25 paylines and 5 reel format and players have their choice of coin value from .01 to $2 per line. There are seven different brightly colored berry icons that include: yellow berries, blue berries, red berries, orange berries, dark red berries, purple berries and red berries. The yellow berries are the highest paying symbols on the reels and they also represent the Scatter. You will want to land these babies.
Freeze and Re-Spin
The central element of Winter berries is the freeze and re-spin feature. When you land at least three of the same symbols on a payline, those winning symbols freeze or become sticky. You’ll automatically be awarded with a re-spin while the frozen winning symbols are held in place. If a new symbol of the same kind appears during the re-spin, it will freeze too and another re-spin will be awarded. This feature can be re-triggered and will continue until you either run out of room by filling all possible reels (obviously preferable) or you don’t land any further berries on the free spin. At this time the fruits will melt away and leave you to re-spin out of your pocket. Your free spin wins will be paid at the conclusion of the feature but any accrued wins from other symbols during free spins are paid immediately.
Column Multiplier feature
During this feature matching symbols in two or more columns are identically frozen. The number of consecutive matching columns is counted from left to right and the final win is multiplied by that column count.
Summary
We are told that this online slot is based on a Finnish polka. We are not even quite sure what that is but we enjoyed the game. There is a lot going on but the game is easy to get along with. If you don’t want to study the finer details but want to know the basics a simple click on any of the icons on the reels will bring up a mini pay table. Beyond this the game will pretty much look after itself with little required skill or input from the player. This will appeal to some but not all. All in all though, Winterberries looks good to the eye and is well worth a trip to Vera and John to experience.
