It's not strictly a Christmas slot, but Quickspin's Crystal Queen's Coins definitely took a long walk through the snow before arriving. If you're getting déjà vu, it might be because this is essentially a reskinned version of Catrina's Coins — a summery Day of the Dead-themed slot that's now been dipped in frost, snowflakes and a faint whiff of fairy-tale magic. The mechanics remain nearly identical, but the mood has shifted to something more wintry and whimsical. Think snowmen, frozen forests, and frosted multipliers.
The layout sticks with a simple 5x3 reel setup, offering 20 paylines that pay left to right. Spins start from as low as 0.20 per round. The overall aesthetic leans into that polished, slightly cartoonish Quickspin look, which feels like it’s edging up to Disney territory without ever fully crossing the line. For a slot that hinges on coin symbols and multipliers, it manages to make the action feel surprisingly fluid.
Quickspin is no stranger to dressing up solid base mechanics with seasonal flair. Just ask Sakura Fortune, which was followed by Sakura Fortune II, or the various versions of Big Bad Wolf. In that sense, Crystal Queen’s Coins fits comfortably into the studio’s catalogue. Whether or not the snow-covered reskin was necessary is debatable — but at least it’s easy on the eyes.

The Wild symbol is the Crystal Queen’s crown jewel — literally. It pays 75x for five of a kind and substitutes for all regular symbols to potentially complete winning lines. There are also several special symbols: Snowflakes, Crystal Balls, and Crystal Coins. Each one plays a distinct role in the bonus mechanics.
These icy orbs reveal random multipliers of x2, x3, x4, or x5. If more than one Crystal Ball lands, their values are summed and applied to any Snowflake wins and line wins. They appear both in the base game and in the bonus round, and in the latter, they can potentially multiply the value of all Crystal Coins and Snowflakes currently on the reels.
Snowflakes aren’t just for aesthetics — they carry fixed Snowpot values of 20x, 100x, 500x, or 2,000x the bet. In the base game, they only show up on reel 5. In the Frozen Fortune Bonus, however, they can land anywhere and potentially deliver hefty chunk payouts.
Landing three or more Crystal Coins in the base game triggers the Frozen Fortune Bonus. Each Crystal Coin has a value between 1x and 5x the bet. When the bonus begins, the triggering coins lock in place, and the feature kicks off with three spins.
The main bonus round starts with three spins. Every time a Crystal Coin, Snowflake, or Crystal Ball Multiplier lands, the spin count resets to three. All new symbols also lock in place. The twist is that Crystal Ball Multipliers apply their value to all coins and snowflakes already in view, which can result in surprisingly decent totals. The round ends when no more spins remain, and all values on screen are summed and awarded.
Crystal Queen’s Coins is essentially a wintry remix of Catrina’s Coins, so the gameplay is largely identical. If you liked the features here, you might also want to check out Eastern Emeralds or Sakura Fortune II — two other Quickspin releases that pair strong visuals with multiplier-heavy mechanics. All these titles are available at Heart Bingo.
