The Nutcracker Slot

Based on the fairy tale that was famously turned into a ballet, The Nutcracker is a 5 reel, 20 payline slot game from iSoftBet. Featuring superb sound and visuals, it also comes with 2 free spins rounds that offer multipliers of up to 10x and streak respins with a stacked wild. Play on your PC, tablet or mobile from between 20p and £20 per spin.



There’s a festive feel to the design in The Nutcracker. The purple reels are set against a mansion draped in Christmas lights. There you’ll find lower value gold royal values as well as a teddy bear, a toy train, a young girl and the mouse king. The latter is the top payer. Land 3, 4 or 5 of the mouse and you’ll receive an award of 1.5, 5 or 25 times your stake.

The Nutcracker (the toy soldier) is the game’s wild. It substitutes for everything apart from the Sugar Plum Fairy which is the scatter. There are 2 bonus features in The Nutcracker.

Fairy Free Spins feature - 10, 20 or 30 free spins are awarded if you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same spin. Look out here for The Nutcracker wild. Every time this lands fully stacked on the middle reel , t boosts a multiplier by 1, up to a maximum of 10x. You can add more free spins to your tally here too. 1 or 2 scatters adds another 1 or 2 free spins. Landing 3, 4 or 5 gets a full re-trigger of 10, 20 or 30 free spins.

Nutcracker Gift Bonus & Free Spins feature - the second bonus round becomes active if you land a fully stacked Nutcracker wild on the middle reel in the base game. You’ll then be taken to a new room and offered a selection of gift boxes. Inside these are 5, 7, 8 or 10 free spins.

During these free spins, the Nutcracker wild will be stacked on reel 3 throughout. If you land a winner, you’ll receive a respin with the winning symbols locking in place. The respins keep on coming until a free spin where no new winning symbol is added.

The Nutcracker is an impressive slot game. The design is terrific, offering a real festive feel without going too over the top. The 2 features sounds are good too thanks to the added extras. We enjoyed the better success in the Nutcracker Gift Bonus & Free Spins feature. Land a high value winner and then get on a roll with the re-spins and some big rewards are possible.

The overall variance is in the medium to high range with wins of 5,000 times your stake possible with the 10x multiplier in the Fairy Free Spins feature. If you’re looking for a Christmas slot game that doesn’t overload the senses and offers some top gameplay, then you won’t go too far wrong with The Nutcracker. I also suggest you try Jingle Spin by Net Entertainment or Taco Brothers Saving Christmas from ELK Studios.
