Snowmania Slots
Although there are many games on the Internet that feature snow in them, and no shortage of holiday themed games that obviously take place in similar climates, Snowmania is one of the only games we can think of that actually makes the snow itself the centerpiece of it all, and does so with enough enthusiasm to make you wonder why other games do not do the same! It is colorful, endearing, and puts a smile on your face just like the smile on the snowman in the cover image! It features cute graphics, nice payouts, and enough things to keep a wide variety of people interested even if you are not into this sort of thing. They did a great job here, and no one would disagree!
Our favorite features of the game have to be the progressive jackpot, and the different bonus features that come up letting you choose what you would win. We also love the fact that everything here looks absolutely frozen, which on a hot day makes us feel pretty good actually! The multipliers here are standard, but everything else works quite well. If you are in for something to take the edge off, cool down on a hot day, or simply love winter as your favorite season, then this is a game you will likely add to your rounds!
What is This Slot About?
This game is about being out in the cold in the holiday season, and winning lots of money while you do. It is mostly about Christmas, which you will know from things like the mistletoe, gingerbread man, the Santa Claus hat, and the stocking stuffed with candy canes, but they chose to focus instead on the snow itself and how that ties it all together. It is a refreshing idea, no pun intended, and we like the way it comes together very well. It still feels very holiday like, but without being so overtly holiday themed like the rest of the games that try to do this sort of thing.
How Does the Game Actually Play?
This is a very fast-paced game for something that takes place in what would be the slowest of all seasons! You will never be slowed down by the snow here, despite it adorning everything that you will see. One of the headlining features is that you can win up to 37,500 times any bet that you place, which adds up to quite a bit across the 20 pay lines and the five reel's. You can bet what you are used to here, whether that is pennies or dollars, and the individual bets that you can place themselves are about average. Still, because of the multipliers we mentioned, this will hold your interest for quite some time, and never manages to get old, at least for us!
The things that you can match are the main point of this game, all being colorful and inventive and very well chosen. There is a Christmas bell, the carrot that would go on the snowman's nose, some Christmas gifts, a lively looking gingerbread man, a Santa Claus hat, a stocking stuff with candy canes, and different things that have to do with the actual snowman itself. There are also some mistletoe, and other assorted Christmas goodies that you will find.
How's it Look?
This is usually our favorite part of the game, and all of it puts a smile on our face anytime we see it. We already mentioned the kinds of things you will be matching, all of which are Christmas themed. The thing that makes this game somewhat unique, however, is that everything is frozen in a block of ice, which is a fun take on what to do with this sort of thing, and makes it all look a bit newer and more refreshing than it otherwise would have. If they had done things any other way, it would have felt like just any old Christmas game. Because of the graphical choices and the motif present on all of the images, however, it all feels very well thought out. We particularly enjoyed how the ice cubes look when they get crushed during some of the multiplier bonus games, which is not something that many other slots do. The background images are also well painted enough to be featured in the background of a film, and everything has a lot of style to it that you will surely appreciate.

Who is the Ideal Audience of this Particular Slot?
Anyone that spends the entire year thinking about Christmas will love this one to death, as well anyone playing it during the holiday season itself. That is both the benefit and the detriment of a game that is somewhat based on the season, although they based it technically on a climate condition itself. If you are in a hot area, this game will also likely cool you down just a bit, and if you are in an area constantly covered in snow, at least you can relate to what's going on here! Even things being frozen in blocks of ice.
Summing it All Up - Should You Play This Fine Game?
Summing it up, Snowmania Slots is the only game that we can think of that is based around a particular type of weather, although it is more accurate to say it is based on Christmas, and they tried to hide that fact. Still, it is a fun game to play no matter the season, has a lot of love and care that went into the graphics, and we absolutely love the way everything comes together in a cool but attractive way. If you like money and the snow, this one is surely for you!
