Nothing says Christmas quite like a snowball fight with a leprechaun, at least, that’s according to the 5 Frozen Charms Megaways slot from Pragmatic Play. This charming little title invites us to take a trip to the Irish hills to engage in a big snowball fight with a cheeky little leprechaun. In this 5 Frozen Charms Megaways slot review, we are going to take the game for a spin and let you know whether or not this is a trip to the Emerald Isle worth taking. 

In our years as slot reviewers, it’s fair to say we’ve encountered a lot of Irish-themed games. The Luck of the Irish is one of the industry’s most popular themes, and we have seen many different takes on it over the years. For 5 Frozen Charms Megaways, Pragmatic Play has decided to put a Christmas spin on proceedings. The leprechaun at the side of the reels is holding a snowball, while the reels are bordered with ice, and the symbols are giving a little festive makeover. 

We took the 5 Frozen Charms Megaways slot for a spin on a selection of mobile devices and found it to be great on all of them. The slot is optimized to run on Android and iOS operating systems, and we encountered no issues in terms of speed when playing on smaller screens. All of the same bonus features and gameplay were available. 

The 5 Frozen Charms Megaways slot uses the Megaways reel mechanic in its base game. The grid is made of six reels, each of which can hold between two and seven symbols. The number of winning ways on each spin varies, with a maximum of 117,649 available. 

Like many other Megaways slots, we were happy to see the Tumble feature return. This is triggered when you secure a win, with winning symbols being removed and new ones falling from above. This continues until no new wins are formed. 

The stake is adjusted using the +/- buttons on either side of the reel. The minimum wager is $0.20, and the maximum is $125, a range we liked and found to be flexible for most budgets. 

We found the 5 Frozen Charms Megaways bonus features to be a selection of several popular features Pragmatic Play has used in the past. 

Firstly, you will want to keep your eyes peeled for the Wild Multiplier. Whenever a wild is used in a winning combo, it adds a random multiplier. This can be between 1x and 40x.

If you land three or more scatters, you will trigger the 5 Frozen Charms Megaways free spins round. When the bonus launches, players get to choose between several free spins and multiplier combinations. 

• Six spins with multipliers of 15x, 30x, or 40x. 
• Ten spins with multipliers of 10x, 15x, or 30x. 
• 13 spins with multipliers of 8x, 10x, or 15x. 
• 15 spins with multipliers of 5x, 8x, or 10x. 
• 20 spins with multipliers of 3x, 5x, or 8x. 
• 25 spins with multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x. 
• A mystery combination from the above. 

During the round, if you land three or more scatters, you will retrigger the exact number of spins you initially selected. Depending on your location, you can skip the queue and activate the buy bonus slots feature for 100x your stake. 

We found the math model for 5 Frozen Chams Megaways is a bit of a mixed bag. The maximum win is 5,000x your stake, which tends to be one of the lower standard offerings from Pragmatic Play. However, it boasts a very strong RTP of 96.50%. Multiple versions of the slot are available, so check the paytable to confirm you have the optimal version. The volatility is high, which we felt reflected our own experiences playing, with long sessions playing out between wins or bonuses. 

The 5 Frozen Charms Megaways slot is a charming Christmas slot that, while unlikely to be played outside of the festive season, is fun while it lasts. While the game didn’t provide us with anything we’d not seen before, it is well-packaged, and the highly volatile gameplay did serve up some nice sequences when it got going.
