Let It Snow (Hacksaw Gaming) Review

Just in time for the winter festive season, Hacksaw Gaming comes up with a Christmassy remake of their older slot, Cash Compass. Let It Snow follows the same winning formula and just makes a shift in terms of the design, taking players from warm Caribbeans to a magical winter wonderland. Thus, expect the same gameplay yet in new surroundings.

Let It Snow - Slot Outlook

As a part of the Pocketz slot series, Let It Snow offers perfect aesthetics when it comes to the game's appearance. True to the Pocketz' style, the slot boasts a cute and minimal look, explicitly designed for mobile devices. However, it looks fantastic on bigger screens too, so PC gamblers are also available to savor the distinctive styling. Set in a backdrop of a gorgeous snowy meadow amidst rocky mountains, Let It Snow perfectly conveys warm homely vibes with a traditional Christmas soundtrack that will turn you into the right mood in a split second.

Let It Snow Reel Screen

The actions take place across a 6x6 grid with the Cluster Pays system. Wins evaluate starting from 6 symbols touching vertically or horizontally, while combos of up to 36 symbols are possible.

When it comes to the stats, Let It Snow features the same math model laid down in Cash Compass. Players drop in by setting bets from 0.2$ to 100$ per spin. The volatility is medium-high, while the RTP is solid above the average level at 96.42%. You should get your returns fairly often according to the hit rate of 26.02%, meaning that wins occur once in four spins. The maximum potential is also decent, offering players a top prize of 7,400x to claim.

The pay symbols have changed to traditional winter ones and include 9 regulars, split into 2 categories.

On the lower side, we have candy canes, bells, Christmas tree balls, and stockings. They are followed by Christmas trees, gingerbread cookies, snowmen, and Santa, all topped by wreath symbols, that are special here, though, more on that in the features section. Matching 15+ low-paying symbols into clusters will award 10x of the bet, while premiums pay up to 130x. Meanwhile, clusters of 30+ wreath symbols award 1,000x of the bet.

Let It Snow - Bonus Features

As alluded to earlier, from the gameplay perspective, everything remained untouched. Like in the Cash Compass slot, Spreading Symbols play a central role in the gameplay here. They are represented by wreath symbols, and whenever 5 or more land simultaneously during the base game, the compass above the reels triggers. After the needle spins and stops, wreath symbols multiply and spread in the pointed direction. Regular wins are evaluated before the spreading process begins.

Red gift boxes are Scatters, and when 3 appear anywhere in view, players are awarded 10 Free Spins. Extra Spreading Symbols will be added to the reels for the duration of the bonus game, and a major change is that now the compass triggers whenever wreath symbols appear, no matter the quantity.

Unfortunately, retriggers are not possible.

Next are blue gift boxes, which are the key to triggering the bonus game. If 3 land on the reels during the base game, players proceed to a Bonus Wheel, consisting of 8 segments. 7 display multipliers, while the last displays a skull. Landing a pointer on the multiplier segment will gradually increase the multiplier level to 10x, 25x, 100x, and 250x. The feature stops in case the pointer lands on the skull segment, or when 50 spins are reached.

Let It Snow - Slot Verdict

With a gorgeous setting and exciting features, Let It Snow is a decent winter festive slot. However, if you have ever played Cash Compass, you won't find a lot here to get super fired.

Unlike Aloha. Christmas from NetEnt, which is also a remake of the studios' older slot, Let It Snow doesn't provide a lot of reasons why you should switch to it. NetEnt didn't just execute a reskin but implemented a couple of additions to the feature set, as well as rethought the math model. As things are now, it's just limited to what theme you prefer, either a Christmassy one or a tropical island setting.
