This time, it's a 5x3 Christmas themed game with 243 ways to win called Wish Upon a Star!

This festive slot, set in the North Pole, revolves not around the main man himself, but his wife Mrs Claus!

Players will find MEDIUM volatility and an RTP of 97.12%!

...that comes with free spins, multipliers, as well as a great jackpot feature!

Theme & Design

This Christmas themed game offers traditional style graphics revolving around this holiday, looking like a postcard from an idyllic wintry vacation.

Evergreen trees are covered in snow and wrapped in lights, so all is in place for the festivities to begin.

The festive theme of the game is perfect for players who are looking to find or increase their Christmas spirit during the holiday season.

There are, of course, symbols relevant to Christmas on the reels...

...with candles, Christmas trees, presents, candles, candy canes, bells and some basic Royals.

The grid is in the centre of the playing area and on both its sides there are presents, while the reels are decorated with green garlands.

Join the Christmas Lady on a thrilling sleigh ride with phenomenal winnings on five times three reels and incredible 243 winning paths.

All of the symbols come to life when part of a winning outcome.

The game treats these outcomes with lights and glitter while the musical theme reminds of a musical card with the fitting sounds that bring more warmth to the gameplay.

Betting Options

The reel set consists of three rows and five reels and these spin across 243 ways to pay.

This means regardless of the bet per spin, the potential payouts can occur in any of a combination of 243 ways...

...but for this, the game requires three symbols of the same kind to start on the leftmost reel.

Ultimately, the game appears to have medium volatility, and it manages to hit an RTP of 97.12%, which is excellent.

The betting range is encouraging for all players too, as you can spin the reels from just 25p, perfect for casual gamers.

While the upper betting limit of £50 per spin is steep enough to make the game appealing to both keen slot enthusiasts and high rollers.

In the base game, regular spins can see players walk away with wins of up to 200x their stake, which works out at £10,000 when the top bet is in play.

You can get bigger wins through the features...

...with payouts of up to 480x the stake possible.

The lowest paying symbols are the Nine, the Ten, the Jack, the Queen, the King and the Ace that can get you a prize for at least three of a kind, ranging from 0.2x to 2x your bet if you get five of a kind.

The Christmas Bells can get you a prize ranging from 0.4x to 3x your bet.

The Candy Cane can get you a prize ranging from 0.8x to 3.2x your bet.

The Christmas Candles can get you a prize ranging from 1x to 3.2x your bet.

The Christmas Tree can get you a prize ranging from 1x to 4x your bet.

Mrs Christmas is the highest paying symbol that can get you a prize ranging from 1x your bet if you get three of a kind to 8x your bet if you get five of a kind.

The Christmas present is the Wild symbol and it lands stacked on reels 2 and 4.

As usual, it replaces all missing symbols except for the star scatters and bonus symbols.
