The original Frost Bite screen
Reading the two payout columns
The paytable distinguishes COIN 1 from COIN 2. These columns show awards at the one-coin and two-coin stakes; they are not two separate paylines. The single winning path is the centre line, and the screen says only its highest win is paid.
| Combination | One coin staked | Two coins staked |
|---|---|---|
| Three Frost Bite logos | 800 | 1600 |
| Three blue characters | 80 | 160 |
| Three triple bars | 40 | 80 |
| Three double bars | 25 | 50 |
| Three single bars | 10 | 20 |
| Three snowflakes | 10 | 20 |
| Three mixed bars | 5 | 10 |
| Any two snowflakes | 5 | 10 |
| Any one snowflake | 2 | 4 |
All figures above are coins, not amounts in a named currency. At a chosen denomination, multiply the coin award by the value of one coin to obtain its credit value. The 1,600-coin top award is associated with a two-coin stake: it is 800 times that stake, not 1,600 times the total bet.
Wild substitution and multipliers
The Frost Bite logo substitutes in winning combinations. The paytable specifies a 2× multiplier when one logo participates, and a 4× multiplier with two logos. Treat the separate three-logo row as its own listed award; do not apply the substitution multiplier again to that row.
For example, the two-coin column pays 50 coins for three double bars. A qualifying double-bar combination completed by one wild pays 100 coins after the displayed 2× multiplier. At one credit per coin, that means a 100-credit gross return against a two-credit stake, or 98 credits net. This is a worked paytable example, not a recorded result in the screenshot.
Stake and small-win examples
The controls show denomination 1, COINS 2 and BET 2.00. Thus the pictured stake is two credits on the single line. The highlighted column is COIN 2, and WIN is 0.00. The DEMO CREDITS balance cannot be treated as evidence of a cash payment.
At those settings, the listed one-snowflake award is four coins, or four credits: twice the spin stake gross and a two-credit net gain. At a hypothetical denomination of 0.25 credits, the same two-coin stake would cost 0.50 credits and the four-coin award would return 1.00 credit. The ratio stays the same even though the credit amounts change.
The instruction to pay only the highest centre-line win prevents adding alternative lower awards on the same result. Do not sum the one-, two- and three-snowflake rows for a three-snowflake combination.
Features and historical controls
The archived edition offers line wins and multiplying wilds rather than a separate free-spin or bonus round. BET ONE, BET MAX, SPIN, HELP and EXPERT are visible controls. Check the help for the edition you are actually using rather than assuming every old desktop option or denomination is available today. No current stake range or installation requirement is inferred from this archive.
Frost Bite questions
How many paylines does this edition have?
One centre payline. COIN 1 and COIN 2 describe stake levels, not different lines.
What does the logo do?
It substitutes in winning combinations, with one logo multiplying the qualifying award by two and two logos multiplying it by four.
Is the 1,600-coin award a 1,600× total-bet win?
No. It belongs to the two-coin stake column, making it 800 times that total stake.
Can snowflake awards be added together?
The screen says only the highest centre-line win is paid. Do not add lower alternative snowflake rows to the highest qualifying award.
Did the screenshot record the worked 100-credit win?
No. Its WIN field is zero. The 100-credit figure is an explicitly calculated one-wild double-bar example.
Does the archive prove current availability or RTP?
No. It documents the historical game and its demo paytable, not a current casino offer, cash withdrawal or verified return percentage.
