Base game is set in a sunny alpine meadow with snow-capped mountains, pine forest and a blue sky with soft clouds; two hand-painted wooden signposts stand to the left of the reels (BUY FREE SPINS price sign and the ANTE BET / 'Double Chance to Win Feature' sign). The Free Spins feature swaps the whole scene to a moonlit winter night: dark blue snow-covered mountains, falling snow, a full moon top-left, silhouettes of a deer and a lynx/leopard wandering in the background snow. Symbols are forest animals (wolf, bear, snowy owl, puma/cougar, trout) plus wood-carved playing-card royals (A, K, Q, J, 10).",
