As you'd expect from a Christmas-themed slot, Jingle Jackpot is full of festive imagery. In addition to the playing cards from A to 10, you'll also see gifts, Christmas puddings and holly. Santa himself is the top paying of the standard symbols. There's also a wild that substitutes for everything bar the scatter.
The first decision you'll have to make when playing Jingle Jackpot is whether to activate the Extra Bet feature – here, you can boost any winning payline by a multiplier of 1x, 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x or 10x. Of course there's a price to be paid for these extra winning chances. The bigger the multiplier you opt for, the greater the price per spin.
Jingle Jackpot also comes with a Christmas Cracker Bonus feature. Triggered at random after any spin, it offers 4 possible extras:
The Rewind will nudge up 1 or more reels to create a winning combination. The Fast Forward does the same except the nudge moves down rather than up. If awarded the Domino, 1 symbol will float across the reels, transforming any symbol it lands on into the same symbol - you'll always create a winner with this feature.
Finally, there's the All Symbols Pays Scatter where winning combinations are created scatter-style. Symbols just have to be on the reels rather than in the same payline to create a winner.
Even though this is a Christmas-themed slot, there are reasons to play Jingle Jackpot year round. The chief attraction of course is the randomly triggered progressive jackpot - the other features are pretty rudimentary but come along at decent enough intervals. You can also raise or lower the variance as you see fit via the Extra Bet multiplier.
Nicely designed with a festive soundtrack and a very easy play, Jingle Jackpot is a nice little slot to play to get you warmed up for Christmas, whatever time of year that may be. If you like Christmas-themed offerings, you have Merry Xmas from Play ‘N Go and Happy Holidays from Microgaming.
