The snow symbol is referred to as a scatter on the paytable, but that seems a little bit misleading to me. The symbol has no payout by itself and does not trigger a feature either. Instead, each time a snow symbol lands on the reels, it will be marked with a frozen frame. Additionally, one point will be added to the progression meter each time a snow symbol lands.

The progression meter will trigger various features when it reaches milestones such as 50, 100, or 150. When the meter does reach the final milestone of 150 points, the bonus game multiplier will increase by one, and the progression meter will be reset. The bonus game multiplier can reach a maximum of 100x but will be reset after the bonus game has been played, making it very unlike you will ever get close to a 100x multiplier! See the Winter Wild section below for more details regarding the frozen frames created by snow symbols.

The chest symbol only appears on the fifth reel and has two possible prizes hidden inside it. First, the chest may boost your progression meter by three to six points, which is the equivalent of waiting for six snow symbols to land on the reels.

Second, the chest could create between two and four additional frozen frames anywhere on the playfield. These frames will be retained until the winter wild feature is triggered, which is when they become useful.

This feature is activated randomly after a snow symbol lands on the reels before transforming into the special golden snow symbol. Every snow symbol that lands before this will have created a frozen frame in the position where it landed, whilst the golden snow symbol creates a special golden frame.

The golden frame is immediately filled by a wild when the feature begins, along with any other adjacent positions that have a frozen frame around them. Frozen and Golden frames do not disappear from the reels until they have been transformed into wild symbols, and this mode also adds additional wild symbols to the reels as well, making it almost certainly the most profitable part of the game – especially when a multiplier has been activated by the progression meter.

The bonus game is triggered by hitting all three available bonus scatters on reels two, three, and four. All winnings obtained within it are multiplied by the current bonus multiplier shown on the progression meter. 

The bonus game will award you between nine and 18 clicks on the gift symbols which appear on the screen, each of which is worth between 0.5x and 20x your current stake. This gives an unmultiplied maximum win of 380x your bet or much higher if a multiplier is active. 

The game's introduction screen states that the maximum possible win is set at 5,000x your bet, so if you manage to reach a large multiplier before winning the bonus game, it should be possible to come somewhere close to that maximum available jackpot prize.

The fact that the bonus game multiplier can reach 100x giving a theoretical maximum win of 38,000x, whilst the game has a cap of 5,000x on winnings, is a little bit disappointing in my eyes. If I was playing this game for real money and hit that cap easily due to having waited forever before the bonus was triggered, I can see myself feeling more than a little bit frustrated.

Despite this issue, I enjoyed playing Wins of Winter and appreciated the excellent presentation. I’d have scored this slot even better if the maximum win had been slightly higher. It’s still worth checking out, though, despite its shortcomings.
