Let It Snow (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Let It Snow Slot Overview

I swapped beach vibes for a pine‑covered mountain and fired up Let It Snow from Hacksaw Gaming. It’s a straight reskin of Cash Compass, built around a 6x6 grid and cluster pays where 6+ matching symbols connect anywhere. Stakes run from 20p to £100 per spin. The model sits at medium/high volatility with a 96.42% RTP, though some operators run 94.24% or 92.26%. Hit frequency lands at 26.02%. The headline number is a max win of 7,500x, which fits the Pocketz, mobile‑first style.

Let It Snow Slot Information

The paytable sticks to festive icons. Lows are candy cane, golden bell, Christmas ball, and Christmas stocking; hit 15+ to get 10x the bet. Premiums are the Christmas tree, gingerbread, snowman, and Santa, with 15+ paying 60x to 130x. The wreath is both the spreading symbol and the top payer: land large clusters up to 30 to snag 1,000x. Clusters form from 6+ of a kind, connecting anywhere on the 6x6 grid.

Feature symbols drive the round flow. A red wrapped gift is the scatter; land 3 to trigger 10 free spins. A blue wrapped gift is the Bonus symbol; land 3 to enter the Bonus Wheel. Wreaths trigger the Compass when 5 show, spreading for a second evaluation. It’s the same framework as Cash Compass, just dipped in tinsel and backed by a jaunty soundtrack that had me humming along between bouts of patience‑testing base spins.

Let It Snow Slot Features

Spreading Symbol and Compass: land 5 wreaths to activate the Compass above the grid. After wins are paid, the needle spins and points in a direction. Every wreath on the board multiplies and spreads that way, then the game re‑evaluates for extra clusters. This can flip a flat spin when the pointer behaves. I’ve watched five “dead” wreaths suddenly fan out and turn the board into a tidy payout, especially with premiums clumped.

Free Spins: 3 red gift scatters award 10 spins. During the feature, extra spreading symbols are added. Any wreath in view auto‑kicks the Compass, so you get more spreading without waiting for a set of five. It plays like the base, only livelier, and the better runs come when the needle lines up with a stacked side of the grid so spreads chain into 15+ premium clusters.

Bonus Wheel: 3 blue gifts unlock a wheel with 8 sections and up to 50 spins. Seven segments hold multipliers; 1 is a skull that ends the bonus. Each time the hit marker lands on a segment, its multiplier is added to your total and that segment steps up through 1x, 10x, 25x, 100x and finally 250x. It’s ultra‑simple, tense near busts, and can ramp fast when you keep dodging the skull.

Let It Snow: Slot Verdict

If you’ve played Cash Compass, you know the drill: same maths, same flow, different coat of snow. The base game can feel thin because most symbols don’t pay much without help, and there’s no reaction chain to keep spins rolling. Then the Compass lands right and the screen lights up; or the Bonus Wheel stacks levels and the total ticks nicely. The soundtrack is peak festive. For me, it’s a seasonal pick with real pop when features turn up.
