Let It Snow Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Hacksaw Gaming is an online slots developer that developers fairly unusual slots games with unique themes and mechanics. While the theme for Let It Snow is a pretty standard holiday one, the overall aesthetic is quite different to what we’re used to seeing in online slots games. It also comes equipped with a fun spreading symbols feature, cluster format, free spins bonus and prize wheel round.

Theme and Graphics

Let It Snow from Hacksaw Gaming has an interesting, minimalistic look to it with a Christmas feel. It is a cluster-based game with fairly simple symbols, so it looks more like a mobile puzzle game than an online slot. This really isn’t the kind of look we’re used to seeing in online slots, but we can dig it. It’s something really unique and we applaud Hacksaw for taking a risk in the design department.

How to Play

Getting stuck into Let It Snow is easy:

1. Once the game loads, click on the menu in the bottom left-hand corner for the information and settings.
2. Here, you can adjust the spin speed and volume.
3. You should also take a look at the paytable to get to know the game’s features.
4. Set your bet level. You can wager between .20 coins and 100 coins per spin.
5. Check out the autoplay options.
6. Hit the spin button and have fun!

RTP and Variance

The RTP (return to player) of Let It Snow is 96.42%. It’s about average for an online slot today, but a bit on the higher end of the payout percentage scale.

It is also a medium/high variance slot. In our experience playing this game, wins were quite rare to come so we’d say it’s more highly volatile.

How to Win

Since Let It Snow is a cluster-based slot, wins are created by landing 6 or more symbols in a group. In most cluster games, it takes 5 symbols – so that’s likely why wins are so rare in this slot.

The most generous symbol in Let It Snow from Hacksaw Gaming is the wreath. It can pay out up to 1000x whenever 30 or more appear in a combination.

Free Spins and Bonuses

There are two main bonus features that you can trigger when playing Let It Snow from Hacksaw Gaming.

Free Spins

The free spins bonus is triggered when you land three FREE SPINS symbols on the reels. You’ll receive 10 free spins during which the compass spins whenever any single wreath appears on the reels. So, it doesn’t take much to trigger spreading wilds in this bonus.

Bonus Wheel

When you land three BONUS symbols, you’ll be taken to the prize wheel bonus. There are 8 sections on the prize wheel. Whenever the spinner stops on a section, the multiplier on that section is added to your total and the section displays a higher multiplier for the next spin. They increase from 1x to:

1. 10x
2. 25x
3. 100x
4. 250x

When you land on a skull symbol, the bonus ends. You can get up to 50 spins of the bonus wheel in this round.

Max-win 7,400x

Volatility High

RTP 96.42%

Overall Review

Let It Snow is a great-looking online slot and we wish that the gameplay matched the fun design. While spreading symbols are a nice addition, they really don’t come around often enough to keep you entertained. The volatility is quite high so there should be something extra in the base game to break up the long losing streak – even a wild would heat things up a little bit!

The free spins bonus offers great winning potential, since the spreading symbols come around a lot more often. It doesn’t seem possible to retrigger the bonus, though, which is a bit of a bummer. 

The prize wheel bonus is where things really pick up in Hacksaw’s Let It Snow. This bonus round really offers up some amazing winning potential and there are some impressive payouts on offer. The multiplier mechanic adds a little extra excitement, too, so this is really the bonus that you want to land while playing this slot.
