Holiday Spirits Review

Christmas is approaching and the classic novella by Charles Dicken's, A Christmas Carol inspires yet another developer to produce a slot based around Ebenezer Scrooge's story. Play'n Go comes with the release of Holiday Spirits just in time for winter celebrations, bringing festive vibes and tons of fun.

Holiday Spirits - Slot Outlook

It seems that Play'n Go scrupulously came to the holiday preparations. The slot will take players to a semi-transparent 3x3 grid with 5 ways to play, where the backdrop showcases an illuminated chamber with a lightened fireplace and gorgeously decorated Christmas tree. There's a warm festive feel to it, perfectly conveying the Christmas atmosphere that turns players into the right mood once they load the game.

When it comes to the stats, the math model is what you can always rely on in slots by Play'n Go. Holiday Spirits comes with medium volatility, rated by the developer 6 out of 10, so landing wins won't require too much of an effort. Paired with a moderate RTP of 94.22%, you'll get your returns fairly often.

Playable on any device, Holiday Spirits comes with a betting range common to most of the games in the developers' portfolio. Players drop in by placing wagers from 0.1$ to 100$ per spin, providing that both high-rollers and less risky players will find their preferred bet options. Speaking of high-rollers, wins of 160,000$ on a single spin are possible, of course, when playing with the highest stake available. Thus, the maximum potential lower than the Play'n Go's average at 1,600x of the bet, though, it can be justified by non-brutal volatility and generous payback percentage.

As we head over to the paytable we see a bunch of seasonal icons. The pay symbols start from glass snow balls, candy canes, stockings, and wreath, making up the low pays. They are followed by 4 ghosts, namely spirit of the past, present, and future alongside a ghost of Jacob Marley. Ebenezer Scrooge assists you in forming winning combos for he's Wild, acting as a substitute for any other regular symbols.

Holiday Spirits - Bonus Features

Despite old Ebenezer wasn't really known for sharing Christmas moods, though, in Holiday Spirits he's generous more than ever. Players will benefit from multipliers, stacked symbols, and Win Spins that will surely enliven the gameplay.

An old Ebenezer's Clock sits above the reel set, ready to come alive on any spin during any stage of the game to award a tasty multiplier and boost the potential. Whenever it gets activated, a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x will be applied to all winning combos on the current spin. Once more doubling the rewards is the Ebenezer's Gift feature, which can also trigger at random when the clock is active, so a multiplier of up to 20x is possible.

All symbols can land stacked up to three positions in height including the Wild symbol. Whenever two full-stacked reels land on the same spin with an active multiplier boost but actually fail to award a win, the Win Spins feature comes into play.

The stacks become frozen in positions, and players get awarded one of the following win spins features:

• Win Spins of Christmas Future - activated by a 2x multiplier. Respins the reels with 2 triggering stacks locked until a win is awarded. Each non-winning spin increases the multiplier up to 10x.

  

  A win is guaranteed when a 10x multiplier is reached.
• Win Spins of Christmas Present - activated by either 3x, 4x, or 5x multiplier. Respins the reels guaranteeing a win with a current multiplier value.
• Win Spins of Christmas Future - activated by a 10x multiplier. Respins the reels until a win is awarded, with each non-winning spin decreasing the multiplier through 5x, 4x, and 3x to 2x. A win is guaranteed when a 2x multiplier is reached.

Holiday Spirits - Slot Verdict

While Charles Dickens' novella has inspired dozens of slots, this one seems to be the one to stick out from the pile. Superb visuals paired with a decent math model and exciting feature set, what else does it require to become a winter's hit. That's enough probably, and Holiday Spirits doesn't have any struggles to provide any of those.

True to Play'n Go's style, the graphics are of top-notch quality, for these guys always take a meticulous approach when it comes to the graphics, and Holiday Spirits is no exception.

Anyway, the Win Spins feature plays a central role in the gameplay and can deliver real goosebumps once active, especially when the multiplier goes down. Besides Win Spins, there's no huge variety of things to do, though, we have pay credit to Play'n Go for making the features work perfectly in pairs.

The only thing that fails to get you super excited is the max win, capped at 1,600x of the bet. All said and done, if you're OK with the relatively low potential, you're likely to love it. Otherwise, there are tons of Christmas-themed slots on the market, offering way more generous payouts.
