Play’n GO has chosen to recreate the story of Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future in its new slot, Holiday Spirits. The game is being released slightly ahead of the holiday season so players have plenty of time to get in the mood. Aside from the warm, cozy aesthetics, Holiday Spirits includes features like Ebenezer’s Clock, Ebenezer’s Gifts, and Win Spins. It can be played at Play’n GO casinos, online and on mobile.
Slot Specs
Holiday Spirits is a 3x3 slot with 5 paylines. Bets range between $.10 and $100 per spin and the slot is playable on all devices. The RTP is a solid 96.29% and the game ranks 6/10 on the developer’s volatility scale.
Symbols include candy canes, stuffed stockings, mistletoe, snow globes, the 3 Christmas ghosts, and the ghost of Scrooge’s deceased business partner, Jacob Marley. Scrooge acts as the wild and all symbols can land stacked 3-high. The brightly-colored Christmas symbols and eerie ghosts make for an interesting juxtaposition.
There are two features that can increase wins in the base game: Ebenezer’s Clock and Ebenezer’s Gift. Ebenezer’s Clock can be triggered randomly on any spin. It makes the clock atop the reels spin and delivers win multipliers between 2x and 10x. Ebenezer’s Gift is another feature that can double any multiplier.
Win Spins
There are a lot of requirements for triggering Win Spins, the main feature of the slot. 2 reels need to be stacked with the same symbol on a non-winning spin, and at the same time there needs to be an active multiplier. When Win Spins are triggered, the stacked reels remain stuck in place and 1 of 3 Win Spins occur:
Christmas Past: The multiplier decreases with each respin until players get a win
Christmas Present: The multiplier awarded sticks in place until players get a winning re-spin
Christmas Future: The multiplier increases with each re-spin until players get a win
Any multiplier awarded during Win Spins can be doubled if Ebenezer’s Gift feature is triggered.
Bottom Line
Holiday Spirits is a typical Christmas-themed slot, and at the same time, it includes enough features to make it appealing. For players who love everything about the holidays, this slot is certainly worth taking a chance on. The randomly-triggered base-game features and Win Spins can lead to a maximum win of 1600x the stake, not a bad way to kick off the holiday season.
