Traditional visuals
With illuminated houses in the background, the reels appear as if they’re on roof tiles in Xmas Magic. You’ll see A to 9 royals as well as more festive-themed symbols. They include candy canes, stockings and mistletoe. The latter pays 0.2, 0.8, 4 or 20 times your stake if you land 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a payline. The mistletoe appears in stacks that are 4 symbols high.
Gift Box wild
The golden gift box is the wild. This can appear on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 only and substitute for everything apart from the scatter – it offers the same value as the high value mistletoe symbol. The wilds can really come into their own during the Free Spins feature.
Free Spins Feature
The Free Spins feature is activated by landing the Santa scatter on reels 1, 2 and 3 on the same spin. After a payout of 4 times your total stake you’ll receive 10 free spins. Look out for the Santa scatter appearing during the feature as 3 (on the first 3 reels) will add another 10 free spins to your tally.
2 new wilds are added to the stacks of wilds that appear on reels 2 through 5 on each free spin. These lengthy wild stacks can really get things moving, especially if you land a re-trigger. In addition to the mistletoe, 1 other standard symbol will be randomly chosen to spin in 4-high stacks.
Super volatile
As usual for a Play ’N Go online slot, you can expect high variance action in Xmas Magic. They don’t do things by half when it comes to high risk, but potentially high reward play. The maximum potential payout stands at 1,000 times your stake per spin or free spin – this can be done if you get a screen full of mistletoe symbols.
If you want a Christmas slot that offers plenty of bite, then Xmas Magic could be just what you’re after. Other good festive themed slot games include Net Entertainment’s Santa vs Rudolf and Quickspin’s Polar Paws.
