Slot Features
The game features cascading mechanic, meaning that the symbols that get involved in a win combo will vanish from the reels and let all the other symbols on the grid tumble down so that they can make room for new symbols to drop on the reels.
Wild
W is the Wild symbol that can substitute in a win to help form winning combos. Wild symbols can substitute for all the symbols in the game except for the Scatter.
Bonus Wilds and Splitting Scatters
The moment the game is loaded you will notice the top row containing symbols is completely frozen. To crack that ice, and free the Bonus symbols from under there, you will need 3 winning symbols or Scatters to occur on the corresponding reel.
Bonus Wild will transform all symbols on the corresponding reel to Wilds. Splitting Scatters will split all symbols into 2 or 3 increasing the number of win way to up to 8748 in total. Thawing out two x2 Splitting Scatters and either two Bonus Wilds with one x3 Splitting Scatter, or one Bonus Wild with two Splitting Scatters will get distributed randomly on each spin.
Frozen Spins
Hitting 3 Scattered Blue Flower Diamonds will trigger the Frozen Spins feature, and award x5 payout to boot. Any additional Scatter that goes over the needed three will add extra x5 the bet which is not active during the Free Spins.
For the Free Spins round you will get 9 spins to kick it off, and each additional Scatter will award an extra spin for the round. Multiplier will get carried over to the round and it can build up progressively during the Free Spins round.
Summary
Frozen Gems is well designed slot that features some pretty entertaining mechanic. We loved the way that splitting Scatters increase the payline number, although some may find it too confusing to track. The game comes with a great win potential that is capped at x10000 the stake and the 96.36% RTP. All things considered, this odd duck can provide a couple of entertaining and fun hours if you give it a chance.
Frozen Gems is a slot with 5 reels that comes from Play'n Go game provider and it was released earlier this year. This game follows the footsteps of their gem series slots, but not only that, but they also have their unique ways feature, where consecutive wins unlock additional ways to win. I initially tried this game in a tournament and after hitting a few decent hits, I've been playing this game here and there.
What I like about this game is that the base game has great winning potential. Every reel has only 3 rows, but 3 consecutive wins either splits the reel into more symbols or turns the reel into a wild reel. The cool thing is that you can achieve that on all reels if you're lucky, and that's when you've got a chance for a good win. Also, I like the fact that whenever you get a win, the winning symbols cascade and new symbols land- it's great as it has helped me multiple times to land 3 scatters for the free spins bonus.
Then when you get the 3 scatter symbols, you get 9 free spins. What's great is that compared to the base game, your free spins start with the multiplier you had on the triggering spin and every time a scatter lands, you get an extra free spin, and the multiplier increases by 1x. Also, every win increases the multiplier, therefore there's definitely a great winning potential. But with all that being said, in my opinion, this is one of the coldest and most volatile games I've ever played from pLAY'N gO. While you can get good base game hits, you'll also experience lots of dead spins, and the same goes for the bonus round. But when it hits, it can hit big- I had a base game hit once over 300x bet.
Overall, Frozen Gems is a graphically beautiful slot with a simple bonus feature but exciting gameplay. But if you decide to play this game, you need to keep an eye on your balance, as this game can drain it very quickly.
