Betsoft is already getting ready for Christmas with its latest video slot release, Stay Frosty. This 5×4 title comes with a theoretical RTP of 96.21% and has 100 pay lines.
It’s Christmas time, the snow is falling, and the home is shining brightly with decorations. Just one look at the reels reminds you why you love this special time of year! Santa’s Elves, stockings, bells, snow globes, and presents fill the reels with joy and laughter, and Rudolph is ready to take you to where the biggest prizes are kept for all the best-behaved boys and girls. Make sure you keep a special eye out for the wild snowman who is ready to deliver the biggest Christmas gift of all!
Journey with Rudolph through the snow-covered skies. As you aim the snowmen with your snowballs, you’ll quickly realise something different. Those snowmen are stickier than normal, especially in the magical land of free spins where they can create a snowstorm of prizes – on your way to the very merry max win of 922x the bet!
Betsoft is going through a very productive period lately with the addition of several new titles to its portfolio. Stay Frosty is the latest and follows other recent releases including Thai Blossoms and Return to Paris. If frosty titles are your thing, then check out 90k Yeti Gigablox from Yggdrasil, where the wins can just keep snowballing up to a massive 90,000x your stake. Alternatively, you can get into the festive spirit on 888 Gaming’s Santa’s Super Slot.
Highlights: Betsoft’s latest video slot title release comes with 100 pay lines on a 5×4 reel set, a theoretical RTP of 96.21%, medium volatility gameplay, a max win of 922x the bet, and a min-max staking range of between 0.25-112.50. Highlights include: wild, Sticky Wild, Free Spins, Scatters, and Buy Feature.
Stay Frosty Gameplay – Frosty Free Spins, Reindeer Riches!
You can win big wins and smaller wins during the base game. The Royal symbols are the lower-paying symbols and the Christmas themed symbols offer the biggest payouts. The snowman is the symbol to keep an eye on, as this helps to complete winning combinations while also remaining sticky on the reels for 2 spins. Trigger the free spins feature by either using the buy feature or by landing reindeer scatter symbols during the base game, which will guarantee 10 Free Spins and Wilds can turn permanently sticky. Free spins also offer the best chance of getting the max win.
All Features on Betsoft’s, Stay Frosty
- Wild Snowman: Substitutes for all symbols except Scatter. When participating in a win, it will become sticky for 2 spins during the base game, or permanently sticky during free spins.
- Reindeer Scatter: 3+ symbols will trigger a minimum of 10 free spins and award a payout.
- Merry Reindeer Free Spins: A 10 free spin minimum bonus feature.
- Buy Feature: Instantly trigger Merry Reindeer Free Spins for a cost.
Aside from Stay Frosty, Betsoft has launched a variety of video slots in recent weeks/months. Return to Paris, Tower of Fortuna, Wild Drops, and Thai Blossoms all offer something different. A quick trip to Betsoft’s website will show the games you can enjoy at the online casinos, and new titles expected for release. Plus, you can try the majority of them via their demo versions.
Merry Reindeer Free Spins Bonus Feature & Buy Feature
Landing 3 or more scatters during the base game will trigger the free spins feature, the more scatters that you land, the more free spins you will be awarded, as well as a higher payout:
- 3x scatters: 10 Free Spins
- 4x scatters: 15 Free Spins
- 5x scatters: 20 Free Spins
Alternatively, you can trigger the bonus game anytime using the buy feature option for a cost:
- 10 Free Spins: 65x the bet
- 15 Free Spins: 135x the bet
- 20 Free Spins: 225x the bet
The free spins round plays out similarly to the base game apart from one thing. The Snowman wild symbol is sticky throughout the round once it lands on the reels and helps to create a win. As you can imagine, once you have numerous sticky wilds, you’re going to record wins from practically every free spin.
Symbols & Payouts
There are 12 paying symbols on the Stay Frosty slot. Aside from the scatter symbol that pays anywhere in view, those symbols pay from left to right across 100 pay lines. There is a minimum combination of 3 required for all symbols except the Green Hat Elf which requires just 2, and the max winning combination for all symbols is 5.

Rounding Up Stay Frosty –Merry Christmas and a Happy Gaming Experience!
The base game offers some fairly standard gameplay, but it is the slot’s theme that adds to the experience, because let’s face it, who doesn’t enjoy Christmas? The symbols, backdrop, and soundtrack present us with the joys of the festive season. The sticky wild is what provides the biggest joy as once landed, it will remain sticky for a couple of spins. However, as with many online slots, it is the main bonus feature that carries the best chance of payouts. On the Stay Frosty slot, that feature is some lucrative free spins. You can trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins that feature sticky wilds that stick to the reels permanently throughout the round. Overall, Stay Frosty is an enjoyable video slot that is good on the eye. I would have liked to see a few more features added, but I think most of you will have an entertaining time on this slot.
Whenever we get close to Christmas, much like movies and music, the iGaming developers always like to create a ton of Christmas-themed casino games. You only have to look at this title from Betsoft and the 5 Gamomat titles we reviewed earlier. If you’re a bit of a scrooge, this might grate, but for the rest of us that love this time of year, this is great news. We will let you know about any other Christmas themed slots that hit the casinos int he coming weeks!
