Wintry Wonderland
The Wintry Wonderland online scratchcard is a brilliantly festive game at Virgin Casino that combines a traditional nine-panel scratch approach with the kind of images that you might expect to find on Christmas cards. What makes this game so special is that, as well as the regular prizes, it has a built-in progressive jackpot that starts at £15,000 and grows with every game played until someone eventually wins the whole lot!
The Wintry Wonderland game has been very well thought out so that each of the nine scratch panels looks like a frosted window pane, and when you come to ‘scratch’ a panel you are actually clearing away the frost to reveal the symbol hidden underneath. As with most nine-panel games, the idea is to scratch all of the panels and if you reveal three symbols that match then you win a cash prize.
All of the symbols in this game are superbly illustrated and each one is associated with a different prize amount. The woolly hat symbol offers the lowest prize amount and the snowman symbol offers the highest fixed prize amount. However, the pile of presents symbol triggers a jackpot payout, which varies from 2% to 100% of the progressive jackpot, depending on the amount you have staked on each game (you can stake anything from 10p to £5). Other symbols include a roaring log fire, a sprig of holly, ice skates, a snow globe and a log cabin.
A winter scene serves as the backdrop to the whole game, and snowflakes fall as you play to give the experience an added touch of realism. Not that such animation is necessary – the presentation of the main game is of such a high standard that you will feel wintry enough without it!
We aren’t sure whether Wintry Wonderland is an online scratchcard game that will be available all year long at Virgin Casino or if it will only be on offer during the colder months. What we do know for sure is that the game is a lot of fun to play, so if you fancy trying to win some nice cash prizes – and maybe even the progressive jackpot itself – you should play it while you can!
