The Christmas Slot

Are you ready to venture to Santa’s workshop and help him prepare presents for people all over the world?

Thanks to The Christmas Slot by Green Jade Games software, you get to experience Christmas from a unique standpoint!

This 5-reeled bandit comes with 20 paylines, amazing cartoonish graphics and a festive soundtrack.

Don’t worry, it comes packed with special features as well: Wild Symbol, Free Spins, Bonus Picker Game, Santa Prize, Mega Symbols, Magic Frame, Symbol Upgrade, Random Wilds and Christmas Wheel!

Theme and Symbols

As soon as you load up this title, you will find yourself in Santa’s cozy workshop as he sorts presents for the upcoming holiday.

In the center of your screen, you will notice the standard 5x3 grid that hides many interesting symbols – dolls, train sets, rocking horses, shoes, suits and gift boxes are all there, representing the symbols that award mid to high payouts.

The lower paying symbols are nothing short of impressive as well, as they appear on the reels in the form of Christmas tree decorations that match the festive spirit perfectly.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Things don’t disappoint in the betting options department either, quite the opposite actually!

For the minimum bet there’s the option of only 0.20 credits, which will come in handy if you are a player that enjoys watching the reels spin on lower stakes.

Seasoned veterans also have options that are more suited towards their play style as the betting range goes up to staggering 200 credits!

While this game does come with a theoretical return to player of 95.01%, which is a bit below average, as well as the highest win of 500 times your stake, thanks to a bunch of special features that are available, the payouts can still get decent!

Special Features

• Wild Symbol – The Wild symbol will appear on the reels and help you for more winning combinations by acting as a substitute for all standard symbols!
• Free Spins – Free Spins are triggered by landing 3 or more Scatters on a single spin. While 3 Scatter symbols will award you with 10 free spins, landing 5 of a kind will up that amount to 30! This feature can be re-triggered by landing 3+ Scatter symbols during your free spins!
• Bonus Picker Game – This feature is triggered whenever you land 2 Bonus symbols during the base game. You will then be presented with 3 Christmas presents out of which you can only choose one which you believe contains the highest prize which can get as high as 500 times your stake!
• Santa Prize – Each winning spin in the base game has a chance of randomly triggering the Santa prize feature. Should you trigger it, Santa himself will appear and reward you with a gift!
• Mega Symbols – All symbols have a chance of appearing on the reels in the form of a 2x2 symbol. This can occur during both, base game and free spins!
• Magic Frame – During each spin, a magic frame will move across the reels before it lands on a random position. If a Wild symbol lands in the Magic Frame, it can trigger one of 3 features: Symbol Upgrade, Random Wilds or Christmas Wheel!
• Symbol Upgrade – This feature will upgrade the lower paying symbols to one tier higher symbols until they finally form a winning combination!
• Random Wilds – Random Wilds feature is one of the features that can be triggered by landing a Wild Symbol inside of a Magic Frame and when it does it will add 3 to 5 Wild Symbols on the reels!
• Christmas Wheel – Taking Christmas Wheel for a spin will reward you with one of the following bonuses: Free Spins, Multipliers or a Bonus Game!

Verdict

While Green Jade Games’ portfolio packs many great titles, this provider has outdone themselves this time around, coming up with a great Christmas themed product – The Christmas Slot.
