Christmas Slots for the Third Week of Advent

Fruit Shop Christmas

This game is a Christmas themed makeover on the classic fruit slots, featuring some iconic symbols that you may have seen in the original fruities including watermelons, oranges, lemons, plums and cherries. This 5-reel, 3 row, 15 payline game was developed by NetEnt and includes wild symbols, multipliers, free spins and more to give you a chance to win big.

The reels are positioned in a white shop between a snowman and a Christmas tree, with colourful symbols that catch the eye.

The higher paying symbols include a watermelon, an orange, a lemon, a plum and two cherries on a stalk; these fruits are all embedded in ice cubes but still retain their striking colours. The lower paying symbols are card symbols, 10, J, Q, K and A. Finally, the logo of the game is the wild symbol that can substitute for any of the other symbols to form a win.

Stakes can be set per spin, ranging from €0.15 up to €150, and if you want to play faster, there is an option to set autoplay spins, where you can set up to 1,000 automatic spins. In the controls you also have an option to hit max bet, which instantly sets your stake to €150.

Developers NetEnt are known for making slots with brilliant visuals and special features, Fruit Shop Christmas is no exception with its own bonus free spins that can be won by landing any higher value combination.

The cherry offers 1 free spin for a win of either 2 or 3 symbols, 2 free spins on a combination of 4, and 5 free spins for a combination of 5 matching symbols.

During these free spins, all payouts are doubled, and landing any fruit wins can generate additional free spins.

Santa Slots

For those who enjoy surprises and many gifts, Santa Slots is an easy to play game that comes with free spins and gift rounds that can bring big rewards.

The 5 reel, 3 row and 20 payline slot was developed by Pragmatic Play, and is presented in a red reel rimmed with gold frames against a dark blue night background with snow covered trees and twinkling stars. There is a soft jingle in the background that is an adaptation of “Jingle Bells” and the symbols are colourfully illustrated.

The lower value symbols are the royals 10, J, Q, K and A, whilst the higher value symbols are a traditional candy cane, a pair of bells, a deer and an elf. There is a Santa wild that can match any of the other symbols to create a winning combination; this symbol only appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. The Santa symbol can appear as a single wild in a reel, but also frequently appears as a stacked wild, which makes the whole reel wild, improving the chance of forming more wins.

In addition, there is a bonus symbol that is a golden gift box and a scatter symbol that is a tile with a Christmas tree and the word “scatter” on the bottom.

Stakes can be set between €0.20 and €100, with an option for an autoplay functionality that spins up to 100 spins automatically.

Landing the bonus symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 will trigger a gift round, or alternatively, Santa can randomly pass by on his sleigh and drop bonus symbols on the required reels to activate the gift round. The gift round takes the game to another screen where there will be 12 gifts with hidden prizes that you can open. These include coin prizes and jackpots such as the Grand, Major, Minor or Mini, which are worth 250, 50, 25 and 10 times the original stake, respectively.

The free spins can be triggered by landing the scatter symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4. This awards six free spins, and although the bonus game cannot be triggered during the free spins round, the Santa wilds can still be landed. If you can land the stacked wild Santa on all four reels then you can win 200x your original stake for each spin.

The bells and candy cane can pay on combinations of 3, 4 and 5 symbols, whilst the elf and reindeer can pay combinations of 2, 3, 4 and 5. The elf symbol pays the highest, with a maximum of 400x for a combination of 5, 125x for 4, 25x for 3, and 2x for 2. The reindeer pay a maximum of 300x for 5 symbols, 100x for 4, 15x for 3, and 2x for 2. The bells pay 200x for 5 symbols, 50x for 4, and 10x for 3. The candy cane pays 150x for 5 symbols, 50x for 4 and 10x for three. The A can pay a maximum of 100x for 5 symbols, with the K, Q, J and 10 paying 50x for 5 symbols.
