5 Frozen Charms Megaways is a slot machine game from Pragmatic Play. With each spin of the six reels, the number of rows changes from two to seven. Expanding the grid to its maximum size yields 117,649 possible winning combinations.
You might expect the traditional Irish music to accompany this slot machine with an Irish theme. Being a seasonal slot, the base game does have a slightly more fairytale-like sound. When you activate the Free Spins feature, the classic soundtrack accelerates up to ramp up the tension.
Even though the reels are located in a frozen rural setting, the typical rainbow that would be seen in a slot machine like this one is absent. On the other hand, you can see a classic leprechaun holding a snowball on the right side of the reels. I was worried he might toss it at some point, and sure enough, he juggles it a bit. His hands, though, must be frigid! The graphics and music are solid additions that work nicely with the theme.
The lower-paying symbols on the reels are the A–10 Royals. Beer, pipes, hats, leprechauns, and higher-paying toadstools are also part of the group. For combinations of 3, 4, 5, or 6, the leprechaun symbol pays out 1, 2, 4, or 25 times the bet, making it the most lucrative symbol.
Except for the bonus scatter symbol—a pot of gold—the game's Wild—a gold coin—substitutes for all other symbols.
Whenever you get a win, the winning symbols will be erased from the grid. Tumbles add new ones, and if you win again while the grid is being filled, the winning symbols tumble as well. If you maintain winning, the tumbles will keep happening; they're all part of the same spin.
The Free Spins feature is activated when three or more Scatter Symbols, represented by a golden jar of riches, land on the reels. With 3, 4, 5, and 6 Scatters, respectively, the player wins 3, 5, 25, and 100 times the bet. Even when you take a tumble, the Scatter Symbol will be there.
