Theme

What will Christmas be without the images of reindeers, candy cane or Santa Claus? These are some of the symbols you will be seeing on the reels. In addition to the star on top of the Christmas tree, the most generous cards also include a plate of cookies with a glass of milk, stockings, and bells.

The lower paying symbols stay true to the theme, and include a wreath, decorative balls, and an image of three candles.

With regards to the Christmas theme...

…it is honored in the cartoonish design, with quite attractive visuals. The background reflects Santa’s workshop in the snowy North Pole, while the edges of the grid are decorated with mistletoe, presents, and bows.

It’s all you can expect from a holiday-inspired title. Additional pluses are excellent graphics and animation, making the whole presentation very appealing to the eye.

Better yet, this Christmas delight is available wherever you are. Due to HTML5 technology that the provider uses for its titles, this game is suitable for all mobile devices and play on the go.

Betting Options

There are 15 fixed paylines in this 5x3 game. The formation of the grid does resemble the setup used in classic slots, but it’s the special features that nudge the game towards the modern slots category.

You can place your bets in the range from €0.15 to a maximum stake of €60, by setting different bet levels and coin values.

The theoretical return to player for this game is 96.14%, but the developer didn’t specify volatility.

Christmas Joy Slot Features

Like other releases by Spinmatic, this one also has a few special features up its sleeves. The standard Wild is in the gameplay, potentially appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4. The Happy Snowman represents the wild with the power to substitute all symbols except scatters.

Speaking of scatters:

There are two different ones available, both triggering a different feature – Extra Spins or the Gift Time Bonus Game.

Extra Spins Round

The Reindeer symbol is the Scatter in this round. Depending on the number of scatters appearing simultaneously anywhere on the reels, there is a different number of awarded extra spins:

• 3 scatters bring 5 additional spins
• 4 scatters award 10 plus spins
• 5 scatters grant 15 complimentary spins

This feature cannot be retriggered, but the bonus game can be triggered during extra spins.

Gift Time Bonus Game

The bonus scatter in this mini-game is the image of Santa Claus, who appears only on reels 1, 3 or 5. Hitting three bonus scatters at the same time will trigger this feature.

Each bonus game awards 3 picks out of 8 Christmas gifts, while each gift contains a random amount of coins - between 30-10000 according to bet level.
