Snow Honeys is a winter themed slot game that works all the year round. This is because it features a bevy of beautiful belles holidaying at a ski resort. The background to the reels depicts the perfect winter scene. The symbols on the reels include the three provocatively dressed Snow Honeys, the ski instructor, the warden, the stuffed bunny, the lodge, the ski lift and the bear. Snow Honeys has lively animations. The ski lift ferries skiers to the top, the bear get awakened by the falling snow, the warden spies someone through his binoculars and the Snow Honeys get flirty. The Snow Honeys logo awards the jackpot payout. The ski resort awards up to 30 free spins with a multiplier of five times. But it is the bonus game on the second screen triggered by the castle that is the highlight of this winter themed slot game. The castle with 12 windows is displayed on the second screen. Players select five windows, but one at a time. When the selected window opens then one of the characters peeks out. The bunny in front of the castle hurls a snowball and hits the character in the face. Each time the player is awarded random bonus credits.
There are many slot games based on the summer Olympics, but Microgaming is perhaps the only software provider to feature the Winter Olympics in a slot machine. The game is appropriately titled Winter Gold. Four popular Winter Olympics events, Biathlon, Speed Skating, Ski Jumping and Bob Sleigh, are the high paying symbols. The playing card icons are used as the low paying symbols. The Winter Gold logo is the wild symbol and the gold medal is the scatter symbol. All the four sporting event symbols get animated during winning combinations. The ski jumper flies high above the landscape. The biathlon athlete maneuvers down the snowy slope. The animations have realistic backgrounds and are accompanied with falling snow. Three or more scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels trigger the Bonus Wheel Feature. The Bonus Wheel consists of eight segments. Two of these segments award up to 20 free spins and two offer up to 18,000 credits. The remaining four segments take players to bonus games on the second screen. Each bonus game is based on one of the four Winter Olympics events covered by the symbols on the reels. Usually in these bonus games players choose teams or athletes who then take part in the event. The player is awarded bonus credits depending on the performance of his selection. These bonus games have fantastic audiovisual appeal. The sporting events are shown with different camera angles and with announcements and the crowd cheering to create the atmosphere of watching live events on television.
Both these winter themed slots games are live at all Microgaming online casinos such as All Slots, Gaming Club and Roxy Palace. There are some classic winter themed slots at these Microgaming online casinos as well. Players can try out Frost Bite and Ski Bunny.
