You can´t help but shake your head and pretend you are wearing sunglasses like a cool snow rider. The tune to this online slot is an electro rock hip hop vibe and it´s catchy as hell. The only problem is that it runs on a loop every 7 seconds, so you better like repetition. The only thing that ruins the game experience as usual is the action sounds every time you spin the reel and get a winning combinations, they don´t match-up with the soundtrack at all.
The 3D video slot theme is Snow Rider! Or is it Arctic cute and cool? Let’s just establish that it has a cool rider tune with snowboards, cute bunnies and animals wearing sunglasses on a snowy but bright scene. Being a 3D slot video slot the characters of the reel perform some type of action when they appear on a winning line.
So is Front Side Spins Slot a great slot video game? In terms of gameplay it is acceptable thank to its nice tune and fast play, but that will also depend personal taste. But talking payout it is not that amazing unless you love the gamble feature.

Payout
Looking at the payout table the symbols pay very poorly, below average. The highest paying symbol doesn´t even go near 1,000 coins. Hitting the free spins seems more easy than on other slots though, only a max of 10 free spins are awarded compared to the usual 15, but a 3x multiplier runs along with the bonus round.
Another disadvantage are the few line combinations. With only 9 lines there aren´t that many figures to be done, to win something with Front Side Spins you will need to either play hard and every line or abuse the “Gambling” button.
Symbols
Polar Bear: You can´t help and think “were have I seen this polar bear before? The Coca Cola Polar Bear!” And it sticks out the tongue just like in the ads, the only thing missing is the coca cola. Once you get the polar bear on a winning combination you will realize his tongue is sticking out because he is riding a snowboard full speed. The Polar bear is also the Wild, it replaces any other symbol but the scatter, so it acts like a joker and increases the chances of winning. No wonder it is one of the only two animated symbols.
Snowman: Not my favorite character, he barely does anything when it wins. It shakes and some kids cheering sounds pop up. The Snowman is the second animated symbol because he is the scatter. The scatter activates the free spins with three or more snowman´s, which has a high probability of being triggered several times during a game. Payout is 100 max and 2 min.
Snowboard: A low paying symbol that is not animated. Pays 120 max and 12 min.
Snow skies: Low paying symbol not animated. Pays 100 max and 10 min.
Snow Rider: A pink snow rider. Pays 200 max and 15 min.
The Cool Wolf: Getting him in a combination is not easy, he is the highest paying symbol. He wears black sunglasses and appears to be skiing. Pays 800 coins max and 30 min. Need 3 wolfs to get a winning combination.
Cute Bunny: Or should I say sexy bunny! Oh and look, she is riding the snow rider. No wonder it is pink. Pays 400 max and 25 min.
Penguin Dancing: An obvious reference to that children animated movie, Happy Feet. Pays 300 max and 20 min.
Letters and Numbers: These pay between 80 and 2 coins.
Free Spins Bonus
The free spins bonus round is activated with three scatters. All winnings during the 9 or 15 free spins will be multiplied by three. The soundtrack tune also changes during the bonus round.
Gamble Feature
Every time you win a combination you can hit the “Gamble” button. It will start a bonus round were you have to select the color of a card, red or black. Get them right each time and multiply your win several times. In the absence of a bonus game and jackpot this feature comes in handy. Our suggestion is never to use it more than three times in a row. In our opinion players have a higher chance of winning big with this gamble feature than a progressive jackpot.
