Secrets of Christmas Slot Review
The production design of the game is that of reels placed over a comfortable-looking, Christmas-adorned, wooden winter house that has snow around it. The design is lit up with holly ornaments and pretty lighting. Snowflakes are seen falling on the screen as well towards the reels in order to give that festive vibe of Christmas.
Designed with 25 pay lines, 5 reels, 3 rows, the game has top-notch non-progressive jackpot that has up to 300 000 coins. The Return to Player (RTP) is just 96.7 %. The symbols for this type of Christmas-themed slot is Santa Claus, who is a wild symbol, a scatter (which is a basket of toys), cards from 10 to Ace, extra wilds which are bells with red ribbons, a candy house, gingerbread, a glass of milk, a candle with mistletoe and a sock with sweets.
The symbol that provides the biggest cash prize is the Bell and five of them at the highest bet pay the player a good 1,250 coins. By a player finding three or more toy scatters along with the reels, they will activate a special pick me round where the player gets to earn something better than the standard free spins.
One chooses from three sets of toys to shoe more free spins, multipliers, wild reels, and high-paying symbols changes into wilds. If the player chooses the correct toys, the game will award them with the coolest gift of all, which are wins of over 100 times their bet.
