Where to Play Holiday Season
Holiday Season RTP and Wagering
Holiday Season is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 adjustable paylines. You can choose to play with as few as 1 payline or activate all 10. This does give you some flexibility—which is always good as it allows you to be both, conservative or adventurous as you see fit.
The coin values range from £0.01 to £2 per line, with the option to bet between 1 to 5 coins per line. This creates a wagering range of £0.10 to £100 per spin. If you are a high-roller after that sweet 10,000x jackpot, you might want to play £30 or above per spin.
The game has an RTP of 96.51%, which is slightly above the industry average. The slot game’s high volatility means that while wins may be less frequent, the potential for larger payouts is significantly higher.
Holiday Season Symbols and Audio & Video Design
Imagine a festive, Christmas-themed slot game. Now, remove all that extra red and the Santa. This game is precisely that. The whole ambience is jolly, the symbols cover everything from the turkey to jelly (pudding). And the free spins are triggered by champagne.
A reskinned version of Play ‘n G’s Pimped, it is a warm game set against a snowy, brightly-lit town square background. With the jingle sound effects and festive tunes accompanying the theme, you get a cosy, welcoming atmosphere when playing this game.
The high-paying symbols include a well-dressed man and a lady in a Santa hat. The gift box is the Wild symbol, substituting for all symbols except the Scatter, which is represented by the champagne bottle. The Wild also offers the highest payouts in the game. Landing five Wilds on a payline will award you 100x your stake. The Scatter triggers the Win Spins feature when three or more appear on the reels, where every spin guarantees a win.
The game features a low paytable and tries to make up for it by the higher bonus wins. Here are all the symbols and their values:
Ten
3 = 3x stake / 4 = 20x stake / 5 = 50x stake
Jack
3 = 3x stake / 4 = 20x stake / 5 = 75x stake
Queen
3 = 3x stake / 4 = 25x stake / 5 = 100x stake
King
3 = 3x stake / 4 = 25x stake / 5 = 125x stake
Ace
3 = 5x stake / 4 = 50x stake / 5 = 150x stake
Jelly
3 = 5x stake / 4 = 50x stake / 5 = 250x stake
Christmas Turkey
3 = 10x stake / 4 = 75x stake / 5 = 250x stake
Clock
3 = 10x stake / 4 = 75x stake / 5 = 400x stake
Woman
3 = 20x stake / 4 = 100x stake / 5 = 500x stake
Man
3 = 20x stake / 4 = 150x stake / 5 = 750x stake
Gift (Wild)
5 = 500x stake
Holiday Season Mobile Features
The game loads properly on mobile devices with the bet adjustment menu getting collapsed. It is an older game, so you cannot expect it to be amazingly well-crafted for the mobile experience. But the app has no glitches and it can be played well on smaller devices effortlessly.
Holiday Season Bonus Features
There is only one bonus feature here—the Win Spins, a guaranteed-win free spin round.
Win Spins (Free Spins Round)
The Win Spins feature is triggered by landing three or more Scatter symbols (the champagne bottle) anywhere on the reels. Once activated, you are awarded five Win Spins, where each spin guarantees at least one winning combination. This feature can be retriggered, allowing you to win up to 20 free spins if you land additional Scatter symbols during the Win Spins. If you are lucky, you will get additional spins and lots of Wilds.
The game advertises that you can win up to “500,000 coins.” This seems incorrect to me.
Holiday Season Jackpot
Holiday Season Final Thoughts
The 10,000x jackpot is very lucrative, but the rest of the game is so-so. It is fun, but only has one bonus round. I also had a good deal of difficulty in triggering free spins. If you are wondering whether Holiday Season is right for you, you might want to check out the gameplay video or free demo mode that we have provided.
Rating: 6 (Okay)
Holiday Season offers a simple, yet engaging gameplay experience with free spins, guaranteed wins, and a generous top jackpot prize. I had fun playing it but at the same time, there are better alternatives for similar types of win, or within the Christmas theme. One thing I will note is that getting 200x, 400x your bet is more common than I expected in the game.
On one side it is a cheap clone of Pimped. On another, it could be a more palatable Christmas-themed slot for many. Your mileage will vary a lot, not unlike the high volatility wins in this game.
