Snow Party – What Is This Slot?
Snow Party is a Pragmatic Play slots game set on a freezing glacier. The fun-packed characters include penguins, orcas, squid, fish and shrimp. Snow Party is a 7×7 slots game featuring a Cluster Pays mechanic which means the characters can be won if 5 or more land next to or on top of each other. Note this is an unusual mechanic as most games with Cluster Pays also feature cascades. That means the wins don't fall away after a win like they do on other games. This changes up the feel of a game considerably.
The base game multiplier Wilds can come with any value between x2 and x100. When a Wild appears it will lock in place and award a Wild Respin. Should another Wild then appear it can create a new cluster and the base game feature can continue to build up without ever entering the main feature. The Free Spins mode includes sticky Wilds and a minimum base multiplier value that increases as more Scatters trigger the feature. There is also a Bonus Buy.
How to Play Snow Party
- Set your bet from €0.20 to €240 per spin.
- Fill the 7×7 grid by spinning — wins are paid out for clusters of 5 or more of the same symbol provided the symbols are touching horizontally or vertically.
- The win lines don't stack up after a win — each spin is a separate event. However, during a Wild Respin, the events do stack up.
- Some Wilds will land on the grid with a multiplier, which will apply to any wins where that Wild is part of the matching tiles. All multipliers on Wilds that are part of one win will stack and be added together.
- Any win that includes a Wild symbol will trigger a Wild Respin. The existing Wild symbol will remain locked in place and any subsequent wins during the respin feature will add additional locked Wilds. The respin feature will continue to activate as long as a respin results in a new Wild symbol that is part of a winning cluster of symbols.
- Land 3 or more Scatters anywhere to trigger Free Spins.
Bonus Features
Multiplier Wilds (×2–×100)
All landed Wilds have a multiplier value greater than 1, ranging from x2 up to x100, which applies to all wins that that Wild contributes to. Two or more multipliers can be combined in the same win (i.e. x25 + x50 = x75).
Wild Respins
Any win which features one or more Wild symbols will trigger a respin. The contributing Wild will be pinned in place, while all other symbols will respin. Should another Wild symbol land, and create a new winning cluster, the process can repeat, with Wild symbols locked in place and further respins conducted, as long there are further Wilds landing in winning positions.
Scatter-Triggered Free Spins
Land three or more Scatters to trigger the Free Spins round with 10 spins. All Wilds that land will be sticky in this feature, meaning they stay on the reels for the remainder of the feature, whereas in the base game they would disappear following the end of the respin chain.
Minimum Multiplier Floor (Free Spins)
The number of Scatters to trigger Free Spins will raise the minimum level of the Wild multiplier in effect at the start of the Free Spins. 3 Scatters: no minimum floor. 4 Scatters will have a minimum of x3 Wilds. 5 Scatters will have a minimum of x5 Wilds. 6 or 7 Scatters will have a minimum of x10 Wilds.
Free Spins
Free Spins feature is triggered when 3 or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the 7×7 game grid. The feature starts with 10 free spins.
- All the Wilds in this game feature the sticky function, meaning all of them stick on the screen for the duration of this feature.
- The minimum Wild multiplier is set by how many Scatters triggered the feature: 4 Scatters = ×3 floor; 5 Scatters = ×5 floor; 6 or 7 Scatters = ×10 floor.
- Wild Respins can trigger again if a Wild is part of a winning cluster of symbols, and all previously locked sticky Wilds will remain stuck during any respins that trigger.
- These game's retriggers are infinite, and landing 3 or more Scatters during the feature will add 5 extra free spins.
Bonus Bet & Bonus Buy
Bonus Bet Options
There are 3 Bonus Bet modes and each mode can be activated for any spin with an increased wager:
- ×5 the bet: Increases Free Spins trigger chance by 10× and increases Wild Respin chance by 2.5×.
- ×20 the bet (Super Spin 1): Ensures that there is at least 1 Wild symbol on each spin.
- ×100 the bet (Super Spin 2): Guarantees at least 1 Wild on every spin with a minimum x10 Multiplier. The top two Super Spin options cannot trigger Free Spins.
Bonus Buy Options
Three Bonus Buy options are available to take you straight into Free Spins:
- 100× the bet: There are three Bonus Buy options and these will take you straight into Free Spins. The first costs 100× the bet and triggers a Free Spins with 3 Scatters — 10 spins with no guarantee of a multiplier floor.
- 200× the bet: Fires off randomly, triggering a set of free spins with 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 Scatters. Prior to this event you are given the chance to collect it, or risk the gamble for a higher minimum floor for the Wilds' multipliers (up to x25). Fail and you lose out completely.
- 500× the bet: Guarantees a 7-scatter to start — this is the strongest starting chance and is locked at a x10 multiplier value before the feature starts.
RTP & Variance Explained
All variations of Snow Party have three different RTPs attached to them and these will vary between casinos. It is worth checking the in-game info tab to confirm which RTP is in use. All variations of the slot have high volatility with a hit frequency of 28.4%. This means that on average a win will occur every 3.5 spins but these wins will be very uneven. Given the high volatility of the slot it is disappointing to see the max win capped at 5,000×.
Paytable
All Cluster Pays wins pay according to the size of the cluster; clusters of 5 symbols win at the base rate, 10+ winning at a higher multiple. Here are the per-bet multiplier pays for the three main cluster sizes:
| Symbol | 5 symbols | 10 symbols | 15+ symbols |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🎯 Snowball Wild | 7.50× | 100× | 1,250× |
| 🐋 Orca | 1.50× | 20× | 250× |
| 🐧 Pink Penguin | 1.00× | 12.50× | 150× |
| 🐧 Blue Penguin | 0.75× | 8× | 125× |
| 🐧 Green Penguin | 0.50× | 6× | 100× |
| 🦑 Squid | 0.40× | 3× | 50× |
| 🐟 Fish | 0.30× | 2.50× | 30× |
| 🦐 Shrimp | 0.25× | 2× | 20× |
Wild symbols can be used to replace all other regular symbols. The attached multiplier will apply to the win of the cluster it has contributed to. When multiple Wild multipliers are a part of the same cluster, the multipliers shall be added to the win and applied before the win is paid out.

The max win available in this game is 5,000× bet. This is much easier to achieve in the Free Spins, where a number of sticky multiplier Wilds can build up across the 7×7 grid simultaneously to deliver a large boost to a cluster win.
A Wild in any winning cluster of symbols will trigger a respin of the entire grid, with that Wild symbol locked in place. Any further wins that then occur will respin the grid again, with each additional Wild locked in place and further respins triggered. All Wilds locked in this way can then count towards further wins during the respin sequence.
Get 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid. 3 Scatters give 10 free spins. 4 Scatters give free spins with a minimum x3 Wild multipliers floor. 5 Scatters give free spins with a minimum x5 Wild multipliers floor. 6 to 7 Scatters give free spins with a minimum x10 Wild multipliers floor. Retriggers add 5 spins each time.
Three fixed options are available for triggering the Free Spins. The base option of 3 Scatter symbols can be triggered when wagered at 100×. The Random option wagered at 200× triggers a random amount of 3 to 7 Scatter symbols. There is also a gamble to increase the base multiplier floor of the triggered feature — this gamble can be very rewarding, or it can cost you the Free Spins. The Max option wagered at 500× guarantees the best possible trigger of 7 Scatter symbols with a x10 base multiplier floor.
