CHRISTMAS FULL OF WILDS SLOT GAME REVIEW
The Christmas Full of Wilds slot powered by Novomatic has a 5 x 4-reel format with 30 paylines, it has 5 different bonus features and 94.69% RTP with a high variance.
Christmas time is a time that’s associated with gift boxes as folks exchange gifts as a form of love to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
Instead of gift boxes, the Christmas covered in this Novomatic slot is associated with wilds. This in turn guarantees an action-packed gaming session.
GAME SYMBOLS AND PAYOUTS
Featured as the top paying symbol when playing the Christmas Full of Wilds slot is the game logo icon. For matching three, four or five of these, players win 0.40, 5.00 or 15.00 coins respectively. In second place as the highest paying symbol on the paytable is Santa fetching 0.40, 3.00 or 12.50 coins respectively.
The old lady comes in third place. When three, four or five of these symbols land on an active payline, the player, in turn, wins 0.20, 2.00 or 10.00 coins respectively. All the other incorporated symbols in this slot which are at the bottom of the paytable include the bells, firecrackers and royal poker symbols.
BONUSES AND FEATURES
- Wild: A portrait which is inscribed WILD in gold acts as the standard wild and it possesses the power to substitute for all reel symbols.
- Trail and Wins: At the start of each gaming session, a random toy appears on the trail directly above the reel grid. Each winning combination will light a trail position. A non-winning spin clears the trail. If all trail positions are lit, players win the toy prize. Note that the trail length is dynamic and may change during spins – the minimum trail size is 2 while the highest is 5.
- Modifiers: Several modifiers may be activated (toy prizes) during the Trail and Wins feature. These are as follows:
- Wild Gun: Santa shoots at the reels and randomly awards several wilds.
- Wild Drone: Santa will control a drone that adds a random number of wilds on the grid.
- Wild Phone: Santa uses his phone to spin random symbols (similar to those on the paytable). Only one symbol will be highlighted thereafter. All instances of the highlighted symbol that are present on the grid will be transformed into wilds.
- Wild Camera: Santa will use his camera to take a photo which is then placed on the reel grid. The photo will prompt the creation of a colossal wild which may measure 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 in size.
- Tumble Feature: Winning combinations landed during the feature necessitate the activation of the tumble feature. Once pays for the previous win line are awarded, the winning symbols disappear and are replaced by new icons. This therefore means new win lines are evaluated hence the possibility of getting successive win lines one after the other.
- Lock and Spin: This feature triggers when players complete the trail with the lock and spin symbol. Upon activation, 3 spins are awarded and all reel positions transform into independently spinning reels. Only four symbols may land during this feature and these are the red bauble, blue bauble, green bauble and the golden present. Any new symbol that lands during the spins will reset the number of spins back to three and also turn sticky. The feature ends when players go on a run of three spins where no new symbols land. At the end of the feature, each of the bauble symbols on the grid will award a random cash value while the golden present icons will award any one of the four modifiers. If the entire grid is filled by symbols, players win an extra 1,000x total bet prize.
SUMMARY
The Christmas time is a time of happiness, drinking and eating. You won’t get much of the latter fun in this game though. You will get Santa shooting though so that’s a little unique for sure.
Overall a superb release that is not boring like most XMAS themed slot games are.
