Net Entertainment put plenty of effort into making original looking games and that’s certainly the case with Jingle Spin. Santa’s workshop is the setting here. On the reels you’ll see lower value royal values plus a selection of Christmas ornaments. The best of them is the red and gold bauble which will get you 1.5, 12.5 or 50 times your stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
To the side of the reels you’ll see Santa himself. He pulls a lever on each spin which spins the wooden wheel. Whatever bauble the pointer lands on is tossed up to the elf above reel 5. On each spin that follows, that bauble is passed to the elf to the left. If there a wild directly under the elf holding the bauble, you’ll trigger the associated feature. Here’s what they can deliver:
- Spreading Wild feature – the Spreading Wild baubles can spread in different directions and replace all other symbols.
- Free Spins feature - you’ll receive the number of free spins on the Free Spin bauble. This can be 7, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 50.
- Coin Win feature – Coin Win baubles award an instant cash prize of 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 125 times your stake.
- Surprise feature – the Surprise bauble can randomly awards a spreading wild, free spins or a coin win.
The best is the Free Spins feature where you can benefit from more baubles to win additional free spins, spreading wilds and cash prizes. We enjoyed Jingle Spin. The visuals are superbly drawn and the clunks from the wheel and whoops from the elves give the game some atmosphere. It certainly has a festive feel but it doesn’t overdose on the Christmas schmaltz.
There’s a decent variety on offer from the extras too. They can deliver some pretty chunky rewards too – up to 437.75 times your stake on each spin/free spin. The way they are triggered adds to the excitement too. You can see a bumper haul of free spins being passed among the elves and you’re desperately hoping to see the wild land on the right reel. It can certainly get a little tense.
With a huge range of Christmas slot games available, developers need something different to stand out. Jingle Spin certainly does. If you’re looking for some festive japes, then Jingle Spin is worth seeking out. I also recommend you try EggOMatic which is also by Net Entertainment and is the same game with a different theme.
