How to play Winter Champions (members only)
Instead of fixed lines, matching symbols on adjacent reels pay in any position, starting from the leftmost reel. The more matching symbols there are on each reel, the more ways the combination pays.
Winter Champions is played on a 5 reels grid with 1,024 ways.
- Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.10 and $150. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
- Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.
- Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.

How winnings work (members only)
What 96.1% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 6,000x max win at a $1 stake
The top prize is capped at 6,000x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $6,000; on $0.20 it is $1,200. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.
Multipliers are applied to wins as they land; in many games several multipliers add together or multiply each other, which is where the largest wins come from.
What 96.1% RTP means
Expected return = stake × 96.1%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $3.90
RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a low–medium volatility game.
The published hit frequency is 22.39%, meaning roughly one spin in 4.5 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.
Features explained (members only)
4 features explained: multipliers, wild symbols, respins, hold and win
Multipliers
Multipliers increase a win by a set factor, such as 2x or 10x. They can be attached to symbols, applied to a whole spin, or grow during a feature, and are a main driver of the biggest wins.
Wild symbols
Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.
Respins
Selected reels or the whole grid spin again without a new stake, usually triggered by a specific symbol combination or near-miss feature.
Hold and win
Landing enough special cash or coin symbols starts a respin feature: those symbols lock in place, the respin counter resets each time a new one lands, and their values are collected when the feature ends.
Strategy tips (members only)
- Size your stake to the volatility. Low-to-medium volatility gives fairly regular hits with occasional bigger features. It is a balanced choice for steady play and bonus wagering. A simple rule: bring at least 150 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.33.
3 more tips and a session planner
- Check which RTP version you're playing. Relax Gaming offers this game at 96.1%, 94%, 86%. Open the game rules at your casino and prefer sites running the 96.1% version.
- Bonus wagering: at 96.1% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $39.00 on average. Check the bonus terms, as some casinos exclude specific games. Run your numbers in the wagering calculator.
- Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.
