Traditional Christmas design
There’s a very traditional look to the visuals in Festive Indulgence. The window of a small shop is the setting. Flanked by lamps and covered by a light dusting of snow, it gives the game a nice wintry feel. On the reels you’ll see A to 9 royals alongside bells, a Christmas cake, a turkey and an elf.
A laughing Santa is the most rewarding of the standard symbols with 83.33 times your stake for 5 on a payline. This spins in stacked formation too. The wreath is the wild and pays 111.11 times your stake for 5 in combination It’s all very nicely done.
30 free spins with a 3x multiplier
The gift box is the scatter. Land 3, 4 or 5 of these anywhere on the reels on the same spin and you’ll trigger the game’s Free Spins feature. With a cash prize of 5, 20 or 500 times your stake, you’ll also get 15 free spins. The top paying Santa symbol spins in stacked formation just like in the base game. So too does the wild.
Also boosting your winning chances is a 3x multiplier which is in play throughout the round and trebles your payouts. Landing 3 or more scatters results in a re-trigger and another round of 15 free spins.
High variance Christmas themed slot game
Festive Indulgence might have a reassuringly familiar look about it. Behind the traditional design lurks a very volatile slot game though. Many Christmas-themed slots are low variance affairs aimed at casual players. This is a much more aggressive, high variance game – you can win 30,000 times your stake on each free spin with the trebling multiplier.
The design and gameplay in Festive Indulgence are straightforward. This Christmas-themed slot offers something a little different thanks to the high variance. If you fancy warming up for the holiday season with something rather feisty, then Festive Indulgence is a good place to start. If you want another good Christmas slot game to play, Taco Brothers Saving Christmas (by ELK Studios) would be my choice.
