Winter Review
This game is not holding back in its effort, as Winter comes with a record breaking potential. Time will tell if anyone ever comes remotely close to a payout, as it will require a very lengthy and nerve-racking thrillride down Reel-Adding Multiplier Avenue.
It would seem more realistic if you were able to accelerate with up to +4 multiplier values per added reel, like in another game, but this is not possible here. Instead, special symbols can boost the multiplier and spin tally, but they don’t seem to land all that often. Anyway, besides the insane potential, Winter doesn’t really add anything new or innovative to the series.
Winter slot Features
You start out with 3 reels and 4 rows, which is pretty common in this genre, and you need to land winning combos including the rightmost reel to trigger the Infinity Reels mechanic. This adds a new reel on the right-hand side, and this process keeps going as long as you improve upon your winning combination.
Landing a free spins symbol on the rightmost reel will also add a new reel to the grid, and all wilds that land will expand to cover the full reel. You cannot land wilds on the first reel however, and every new reel added to the grid increases the progressive multiplier with +1.
When you’re no longer able to add extra reels to the grid, your winnings are summed up and boosted by the achieved multiplier. Everything will then reset back to the default setup, to start all over again.
You need to land 3 free spins scatters anywhere in sight to trigger the bonus round. This gives you 10 free spins to start with, while any new scatters that land adds 2 extra spins to your tally. You can also land special Heart symbols to add +1 free spins to your tally, while the special Star symbol increases the progressive multiplier by +1.
Of course, each added reel also increases the multiplier with +1, and it does not reset on non-winning spins during the bonus round. If there was no progressive multiplier in play, you would need to add up to 20,000 reels with the highest paying symbol to land the max win. Of course, the potentially accelerating multiplier complicates the calculation, but you’re probably looking at several hundred reels, or more.
The 200 Spins Winter slot Experience
You can see how the Infinity Reels mechanic plays out in our 3-minute highlights video below. We had a very close call, with plenty of reels added, before we finally triggered the bonus round. You can check out how it all went by clicking the play button, and the free spins feature starts around 1:26 into the video.
Review Summary
Winter is a venture with ReelPlay’s Infinity Reels engine. The game offers insane payouts up to your stake. That alone should raise some eyebrows, and it certainly makes this one a tempting winter adventure.
The bonus round is less complicated here, as you will not be playing with 4 tiers of multiplier increments like in the first game. Instead, you have special symbols to help keep you going with +1 extra spins and +1 multiplier boosts. It’s hard to see how you can get anywhere close to the staggering max win without hitting a rather extreme reel-adding lucky streak.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| All wins including the rightmost reel adds a new reel ad infinitum | The announced potential doesn’t seem very achievable |
| Expanding wilds on all reels except the first | |
| Free spins with progressive multiplier that doesn’t reset? | |
| Special bonus round symbols adds +1 extra spins and multiplier increase | |
| Record-breaking max win potential |

You can check out all Infinity Reels slots in our catalog. We have also taken the liberty of recommending some of the better ones below.
Another game - is the first effort with this engine, and it comes with a progressive multiplier just like this game. The biggest difference is the potential, as well as the 4-tier bonus round which can greatly accelerate the progress of the multiplier.
Another game - combines the power of the Megaways engine with the Infinity Reels mechanic, and the result is just as spectacular as it sounds. The bonus round comes with 4 tiers here too, and the multiplier can thus increase with up to +4 for each reel added.
Another game - is a pretty popular installation in the ReelPlay series, and per usual, it comes with a progressive multiplier that increases per reel you add. It can accelerate up to 5 increments in the bonus round, which can lead to payouts up to your stake.
