What is the story of Frozen Gems?

During an Arctic expedition, the hero gets separated from the group and, deep in the cave where they took shelter, discovers a land frozen in time. Beyond the ice, precious gems and objects are visible, and though they hesitate about turning back, the glitter makes it hard to leave. The premise is that they won’t leave empty-handed from a place that could be a curse or the world’s greatest treasure, and it has a fairly long story among the gem slots in Play’n GO slots.

What are the frozen bonus symbols on the reels?

Frozen bonus symbols sit at the top of the reels, and when they melt they give a unique effect to the reel below. The setup is 2 x2 split scatters, plus either 2 bonus wilds and 1 x3 split scatter, or 1 bonus wild and 2 x3 split scatters. This layout changes randomly every spin. To melt a bonus symbol, you need 3 winning symbols or scatters on that reel.

How do bonus wilds and split scatters differ?

When a bonus wild melts, every symbol on that reel turns wild. When a split scatter melts, every symbol on that reel splits into 2 or 3, adding more winning paths. Wilds already on a regular reel are also split, but scatters are not. One turns a whole reel wild, the other widens the board. When the two effects overlap, the change is big.

How does the multiplier work?

This game has an always-on multiplier that rises by 1 with every extra cascade and multiplies all wins. However, this multiplier resets to the start on every spin. The longer the cascades run, the better your chance to melt bonus symbols, so the multiplier and the ice melting work together. 3 scatters trigger Frozen Spins.

What should I check first in the demo?
