How Snow Slingers plays
Ruth and Rupert stand on a wall either side of the grid, above a snowy landscape. Wins are paid on 14 lines across the 5x4 grid, for three or more matching symbols starting on the first reel. The card ranks J to A pay the least, and candy canes, teddy bears, stockings, Christmas trees and bells pay more. The wild substitutes for every symbol in the paytable.

The line in the upper left corner shows the session time and Net: £0.00 before any spin. UK rules require online slots to show time played and net position. Game and artwork © Hacksaw Gaming.
The game’s main feature, which Hacksaw calls the Snowball mechanic, is built on snowball symbols in Normal and Epic versions. They create the wilds and multipliers in the base game and the free spins, and they also drive the Throw Snow! bonus. Volatility is rated medium.
Snowballs, Snow wilds and Snow Multipliers
Each snowball symbol lands showing between one and six snowballs and throws them at random positions on the grid. A position hit by a Normal snowball for the first time sticks as a wild Snow symbol; hit again, it gains a random multiplier and becomes a Snow Multiplier, and every further hit raises the value. An Epic snowball turns any position it hits straight into a Snow Multiplier, and Epics throw before Normals. These multiplier values run from 2x to 200x per hit, and Snow Multipliers in the same win are added together. An emptied snowball symbol becomes a wild.
The opening page of the game info: a 5-reel, 4-row paylines game with a max win of 10,000 times your bet, which can be reached in all game modes, and Normal and Epic snowball symbols that land with 1 to 6 snowballs. Game and artwork © Hacksaw Gaming.
The Throw Snow! bonus
Three FS scatters start Throw Snow!, where only snowball symbols, Reload symbols and blanks land and six Gift Boxes sit above the grid, each adding to or multiplying a total. Snowballs now hit the boxes instead of the grid, and Normal snowball symbols stay put with the value they build. A Reload gathers the values of those symbols and refills them with new snowballs. Three lives refill whenever a snowball or Reload symbol lands, and at the end every value left on the grid is added up and multiplied by the stake.
You Reap What You Snow
Four FS scatters start the free spins version, You Reap What You Snow, with 10 spins. The base-game rules carry on, with Epics throwing first, but every Snow Multiplier now sticks where it is until the round ends, so later hits keep raising values that are already on the grid. Two more FS scatters during the round add 2 spins and three add 4.
Snow Slingers compared with 2 Wild 2 Die
Hacksaw’s rules for Snow Slingers match those of 2 Wild 2 Die, its 2024 western, almost line for line: the same 5x4 grid with 14 lines, symbols that land with one to six hits and turn positions into wilds and wild multipliers of 2x to 200x, a three-scatter bonus with six value panels above the grid and three lives, and 10 free spins with sticky multipliers for four scatters. The main differences are the theme, a lower volatility rating, a lower top prize, and no versions of the bonuses that play three times and pay only the highest result.
| Game | Theme | Grid and lines | Triple-play bonus versions | Maximum win |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Wild 2 Die | Western | 5x4, 14 lines | Yes, for both bonuses | 15,000x |
| Snow Slingers | Christmas | 5x4, 14 lines | No | 10,000x |

Snow Slingers at Fortune Games
Every Snow Multiplier and the Throw Snow! total are worked out as multiples of the stake, so the UK caps of £5 a spin, or £2 if you are 18 to 24, put a ceiling on the size of each of those payouts too. Snow Slingers and 2 Wild 2 Die can both be played from the slots in our lobby (18+). Fortune Games has an app on the App Store and Google Play.
Frequently asked questions
Are Snow Multipliers added or multiplied together in Snow Slingers?
Added. When two or more Snow Multipliers are part of the same winning line, their values are added together before the total is applied to the win. A line running through a 5x and a 10x Snow Multiplier is therefore paid at 15 times its value, not 50 times.
Can the top prize in Snow Slingers be won in the base game?
Yes. Hacksaw states that the maximum win, given in the key facts table, can be reached in all game modes: the base game, the Throw Snow! bonus and the You Reap What You Snow free spins. Snow Multipliers form on the grid in the base game and the free spins, while Throw Snow! builds its values on the snowball symbols themselves.
Who are Ruth and Rupert in Snow Slingers?
They are the game’s two penguins, who stand either side of the grid and give the slot its theme, a Christmas snowball fight. Their snowballs are what the snowball symbols throw, turning the positions they hit into wilds and Snow Multipliers.
