Winterberries 2 (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Winterberries 2 Slot Overview

Winterberries 2 takes the original idea and dials up the maths. I’m looking at freezing symbols on every win, respins that can chain, and a column multiplier strip that does the heavy lifting. It runs on 5 reels but can shift to 6 with Golden Bet, still with 20 paylines. The vibe mixes winter on one side and a warmer scene on the other. I rate it as a modern sequel with super high volatility and a headline max win of 10,000x the bet.

Winterberries 2 Slot Information

The setup is straight. You get 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines either way, with the option to add a sixth reel via Golden Bet. Min.bet is 0.1 and Max.bet is 40. The RTP is 96%, with versions at 94%, 90.5%, and 86% depending on the market. Volatility is super high, and the hit frequency sits at 25.73%, so about one in four spins lands. Wins pay left to right from reel one, across desktop, notepads, and mobile phones.

Golden Bet costs 50% extra on the stake. I use it because it opens the sixth reel, doubles the chance of triggering free spins, and allows 6-of-a-kind wins. It also lets the largest column multiplier step into play. The base flow is clear: hit a line, freeze the winning symbols, respin the rest, and keep going while more of the same symbol lands. The pace swings hard, but the respin ladder and multipliers give the slot its rhythm.

Symbols and Paytable in Winterberries 2

Lows are clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades shaped like leaves. On the expanded setup, they pay 4x the bet for a 6-of-a-kind. Highs are blueberry, gooseberry, cloudberry, and raspberry. Landing 6-of-a-kind pays between 18x and 30x the bet, which gets spicy once multipliers kick in. The Wild Symbol substitutes all regulars but not Scatters, so it helps bridge lines while you chase frozen columns and extra respins.

The Scatter Symbol is a bee and it shows up as Silver, Gold, or Diamond. I treat the pays as line-focused, with the big step-up coming from column multipliers rather than raw symbol values. That’s the core of the game plan here: build lines, extend with respins, and try to cover reels from the left to fire the multiplier strip. When the sixth reel is active, those 6-of-a-kind lines make a real difference.

Winterberries 2 Slot Features

Freezing Symbols trigger on every winning line. The matching symbols lock, other positions respin, and any new symbols of that type also freeze. The sequence continues until no new matches land, then the round pays. Scatters on their own don’t start respins, but if there’s a winning combo and 3 or more Scatters are present, those Scatters freeze too. I’ve seen modest lines turn into chunky clusters when a run of respins falls right.

Column Multipliers sit above the reels as 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and 32x in the base game. They activate when full reels freeze consecutively from the left. You need reels 1 and 2 covered before reel 3’s multiplier can light up, and so on. In free spins, these values are doubled to 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and 64x. That doubling is the heart of the bonus, especially when the sixth reel is in play.

Free spins land from 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters for 10, 12, 15, or 20 spins. During the round, each Scatter adds +1 spin and increases reel multipliers by 1–3 (Silver), 4–8 (Gold), or 10–15 (Diamond). I like the Bonus Buy spread: 100x buys 10–15 spins with 5 reels; 150x buys 10–20 spins with 6 reels; 200x buys 15 spins on 5 reels; 300x buys 20 spins on 6 reels. It’s a clean menu with clear trade-offs.

Winterberries 2 Slot Verdict

This is a solid hold-and-respin slot with an identity built on frozen reels and a meaningful multiplier strip. I rate Golden Bet as almost mandatory if you want the best of it, because 6-of-a-kind and the doubled bonus odds matter a lot. The math is super high variance, but the ceiling sits at 10,000x the bet, which fits the profile. If you enjoy freezing chains and rising columns, Winterberries 2 does the job and keeps the tension honest.
