Winterberries 2

Winterberries 2 Review

The original game in the series looks dated now, but 9 years is a considerable time in the online slots world. Winterberries 2 is a visually appealing follow-up, and it includes a similar cheerful melody. There's a nice variety of berries on the grid, and a tempting Golden Bet option unlocks a 6th reel, while doubling your bonus round entry chances.

The extra reel offers more winning chances and higher 6 of a kind wins. It also provides a higher multiplier achievable via the Frozen Respins feature. Everything hinges on this sticky winning symbols respins mechanic, and filling reels awards a total win multiplier. The multiplier range doubles in the bonus round, where they can be upgraded, and the 10,000x max win is a significant upgrade.

Winterberries 2 Slot Features

You can turn on the Golden Bet between base game spins, at the cost of 50% more per spin. This unlocks the 6th reel and doubles your bonus round chances. It also allows for 6 of a kind wins, and it enables the largest possible multiplier. The premium berry symbols pay between 6 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and between 18 and 30 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins.

All winning symbols freeze in place, and the remaining positions respin. New symbols matching the frozen win also freeze, awarding another respin. The process repeats as long as the frozen win grows, and the win is paid when the respins end. Scatters are frozen if you land 3+ while also landing a win, but do not trigger respins on their own.

Each reel has a multiplier above it, activated from left to right as you fill whole reels with frozen symbols. The base game multipliers are x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, and x32, requiring you to fill reels consecutively from left to right to activate each tier.

Landing at least 3 scatters triggers the Bonus Round, awarding 10, 12, 15, or 20 free spins from 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters, respectively (the latter requires the Golden Bet). The multiplier range above the reels doubles in the bonus round, becoming x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, and x64 above reels 1 to 6.

During the bonus round, you can land silver, gold, and diamond scatters. Each scatter type grants +1 free spin per scatter, and the silver scatter increases each multiplier by +1 to +3. Gold scatters provide +4 to +8, and diamond scatters offer +10 to +15.

The Bonus Buy menu is available in some regions. You get 4 different options if eligible, as follows:

• Buy 10 to 15 free spins with 5 reels for 100x the stake.
• Buy 10 to 20 free spins with 6 reels for 150x the stake.
• Buy 15 free spins with 5 reels for 200x the stake.
• Buy 20 free spins with 6 reels for 300x the stake.

The 200 Spins Winterberries 2 Slot Experience

You get a sample of the base game before the top-tier bonus round is purchased. It triggers around 1:25 into the 9:41-minute video, continuing for quite a while due to respin triggers and extra spins.

Review Summary

The visuals are improved compared to the original released in 2014. Winterberries 2 has a zen-like visual presentation, and focuses on the sticky winning symbols respin trend. It’s a balanced game with a decent pace and flow with the turbo switched on.

The sticky winning symbols respins system provides extra spins, enhancing the initial win. The reel multiplier system spices things up, and the Golden Bet seems useful. The 6th reel is helpful, alongside a larger top-tier multiplier and doubled bonus round chances. The feature includes enhanced multipliers, and the 10,000x potential is 4 times the original game's.
