Christmas is just around the corner so sit back and relax as we guide you through a selection of recently released festive slot titles, including Mancala Gaming’s sword-swinging Santa, seasonal sevens from Swintt and Endorphina’s jolly jigsaw.
Santa the Slayer – Mancala Gaming
Mancala Gaming’s latest snowy slot release pits a battling Santa against demons, evil elves and snowmen in a 5×3 reel slot that has 20-paylines and a maximum win of up to x5,082 the player’s wager. This title has an RTP of 95 per cent.
Low value symbols come in the form of playing card royals, with Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces. These symbols can offer between x1 and x10 the player’s bet, depending on the number of winning combinations that land on a single spin.
Meanwhile, witches, elves, snowmen and demons depict the high value symbols, offering between x2 and x250 the player’s wager.
Bonus purple orbs can drop into play, displaying monetary prizes from x1 to x10 the player’s stake.
Additionally, jackpot Santa symbols can appear, awarding x5, x25, x100, x250 or x1,000 the player’s bet when three, four, five or six land on the same spin.
Landing six or more bonus orbs or jackpot symbols on the same spin will activate the hold and win-style game mode.
In this hold-and-win game mode, players are given three spins to land as many bonus orbs or jackpot Santa symbols on any empty reel set as possible.
While all the triggering orbs or Santa symbols stay sticky in their positions on the board, as with all orbs or Santa symbols that appear subsequently, all symbols that appear will reset the number of spins to three.
Once all spins have been completed, the player will receive the accumulated value of all Santa symbols that have dropped into play.
Finally, two wild battle Santa symbols are available, with 1×1-size wilds appearing with x2 multipliers and 1×2-size wilds appearing with a multiplier of x3.
Seven Seven Xmas – Swintt
Swintt has placed a festive spin on its latest Christmassy slot release as players are presented with a 5×3 reel slot offering five-paylines and a maximum win of up to x1,000 the player’s bet. This seasonal slot has high volatility with an RTP of 95.25 per cent.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, stated: “The Seven Seven series of games is undoubtedly one of the most iconic in the entire Swintt catalogue – and with holiday season fast upon us, we wanted to give an old favourite a new festive makeover in our latest premium release, Seven Seven Xmas.
“Featuring all the classic design elements and mechanics that have made the Seven Seven slots such a huge hit with fans, Seven Seven Xmas is a high-variance game that offers players the chance to unwrap scatter wins and big prizes of up to x1,000 their stake.
“This coupled with the slot’s fun, wintery aesthetic should ensure that it’s the perfect pre-Christmas release for all Swintt’s partners.”
Low value symbols come in the form of cherries, plums, oranges and lemons. If the right number of winning combinations land on a single spin, these symbols can offer between x1 and x40 the player’s bet.
Meanwhile, watermelons and grapes depict the medium value symbols, offering between x10 and x100 the player’s preferred stake.
High value symbols are represented by red lucky sevens. These symbols can offer between x20 and x1,000 the player’s bet, depending on the number of paying combinations that fall on a single spin.
Lastly, fireball scatters can appear to provide wins between x2 and x50 the chosen stake regardless of paylines.
Santa’s Puzzle – Endorphina
Father Christmas attempts to complete a jigsaw puzzle in Endorphina’s latest tinsel-filled slot release, presenting a 5×4 reel grid with 50-paylines and a maximum win of up to x1,000 the player’s wager. Players can expect an RTP of 96.06 per cent for this title.
Bonus female character scatters are available on reels one and five, appearing in the four corner positions of the reel set. When four appear across all corners of the grid, the bonus game mode will be activated.
For this bonus game, players are taken to a special jigsaw-shaped reel set that is 5×4-size with 20 jigsaw pieces available.
Players are given three spins to land jigsaw pieces on the reels to fill up the available positions, with each jigsaw piece that appears resetting the number of spins to three.
The four corner positions are filled as the game mode begins due to the positions of the triggering scatters, and each position that is filled offers a multiplied bet amount between x1 and x16 the player’s bet.
If players manage to fill the jigsaw puzzle with all 20 pieces, they’ll receive the game’s maximum win of x1,000.
Furthermore, players can choose to gamble at the end of every winning spin, risking their payout in order to double it. To do this, players must guess if a card will be higher than a dealer’s card.
Players can repeat this up to 10 times, but losing any gamble will return them to the base game without their payout.
Xmas Royale 100 – Fugaso
Our final slot in this festive round-up comes from Fugaso, which offered players 100 ways to win on a 5×4 reel slot that can provide wins of up to x5,000 the player’s chosen bet. This title has medium-high volatility with an RTP of 96 per cent.
Low value symbols are represented by plums, cherries, lemons and oranges. If the right number of winning combinations land on a single spin, these symbols can offer between x0.05 and x2.5 the player’s bet.
Meanwhile, watermelons, grapes, bars and stars depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.1 and x7.5 the player’s preferred bet.
High value symbols come in the form of red and yellow lucky sevens. These symbols can provide wins between x0.5 and x12.5 the player’s bet, depending on the number of matching combinations that fall on one spin.
Scatter bells can also appear, paying out independently from paylines when three or more appear on the same spin. If three, four or five bells land at once, players will receive respective prizes worth x4, x20 or x200 their bet.
Furthermore, wild crowns are available, substituting for all symbols other than the bell scatters. Landing three, four or five wilds on a winning payline will payout x0.5, x5 or x50 the player’s bet, respectively.
