As you'd expect from a Christmas themed slot, the reels in Merry Xmas are packed full of festive favourites. Look out for glasses of mulled wine, candles, bells, baubles and reindeer. Santa himself is the top payer giving 2,500 times your line bet if you find a 5 symbol combination. Symbols can appear stacked boosting your winning opportunities.
The wild only appears on reel 3 but can provide a nice boost to any winning payline as they are multiplier wilds. Any winning spin that includes the wild will be improved by the multiplier shown which can be 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x.
Find the 3 Christmas presents anywhere on the reels and you'll be awarded the Bonus feature. Simply pick 1 of the 3 gifts shown and you'll be awarded a cash prize of up to 150 times your total bet. Though it's lacking a little in the features department, Merry Xmas does have a certain charm. It looks lovely, conjuring up a decidedly festive feel and the action plays out to a quaint little soundtrack.
The multiplier wilds are a nice addition and can give your wins a real rocket if you manage to find the 5x multiplier. The pick me bonus round doesn't hit that often but can deliver some impressive results when it does arrive.
Merry Xmas isn't a very volatile slot - the variance is on the low side making it a good choice for players with small bankrolls or part timers looking for some holiday fun. That said if you get on a roll with the multiplier wilds and the pick me round you can still end up with some lovely Christmas treats.
I would only play this game around Christmas time to be fair with other festive-themed slots like Ghosts of Christmas by Playtech. One holiday season you should look at is Halloween with plenty of horror-themed games available – Wild Blood by Play ‘N Go is worth checking out.
