Jingle Bells Slots
Jingle Bells slots is a 5 reel, 20 payline game brought to you by developers Red Tiger Gaming. It features a festive theme and includes a wealth of images and symbols which represent this well. There are five high-value symbols in the game which are comprised of various yuletide-themed objects. In ascending order of value, these are; a candy cane, a stocking, a red and blue bauble, a gold star and two golden bells. The low-value symbols are made up of the standard playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A. There are also three special symbols in the game; a sleigh scatter which unlocks the Santa’s Bonus, Free Spins sack symbols which trigger the game’s free spin round and the wild which will substitute for everything apart from the other bonus symbols. Additionally, there is a random acting feature that can award one of four bonuses.
It's Christmas, and Kerching have just the present for you! Yes, the most wonderful time of the year brings with it snow, festive cheer and, in the case of Red Tiger Gaming, new slot games! And, just like Santa climbing down the chimney to a full plate of cookies, we think you're in for a real treat with this one. Not only is the theme great (who doesn't love Christmas?), but it is visually wonderful too. Of course, looks aren't everything and Red Tiger Gaming know this as well as anyone, as Jingle Bells is positively bursting with bonuses. Before we get into all those juicy details though, let's first unwrap the game's visuals and paytable.
Paytable and Layout
Visually, Red Tiger Gaming knows the strength of the theme they have picked and every effort has gone into invoking an authentic, Christmas feeling. When you start the game, you'll be greeted by an information screen detailing the various symbols and bonuses. Right from the off you get a sense of the style Jingle Bels is going for, with a snowy hamlet dimly lit by candlelight. When you start playing, the scene shifts to an indoor area reminiscent of Santa's grotto, complete with a warm fireplace and decorated Christmas tree. The reels themselves are very minimal, containing little outside of the symbols. However, these are all rendered in a satisfying fashion and are complemented by perfectly functioning animations and effects.
Of course, when you’re examining the paytable, there is only one thing you are really concerned about; the value. It's good news on that front, as there is a fair bit to be found in jingle Bell's symbols. The wild is the most valuable in the game, rewarding a very tasty 400x your stake multiplier for a five of a kind win. Of the base game symbols, the one worth the most is the pair of golden bells, which will award a 320x multiplier for five. After that comes the gold star which grants 160x, followed by the baubles at 140x. The last two of the high-value symbols, the stocking and candy cane, are worth 120x and 100x for a five of a kind win respectively.
Bonus Features
Santa’s Gifts
This is a randomly acting bonus that can trigger at any time. When it does, an animated Santa will appear on the reels, bestowing one of four benefits unto you. The effects you can get are as follows;
- Christmas Tree Bonus - The animated Santa will walk to the Christmas tree to the right of the reels and begin to shake it. A multiplier of up to 20x will be revealed and then be applied to your win.
- Raining Wilds Bonus - An array of Christmas presents will rain down on the reels, turning symbols at random into wilds.
- Winning Reels Bonus - This will remove all the low-value symbols from the reels and then grant a re-spin with only the high-value ones involved.
- Mega Wild Bonus - A giant wild will be added to the game which will occupy 3x3 positions on the reels, potentially creating new winning combinations.
Santa’s Bonus
In order to trigger this bonus, you will have to land three of the Sleigh Scatter symbols anywhere in view on the reels. You’ll be taken to a new screen showing a mountainous area with an off the beaten track style path. You will have to move up the path, picking up presents as you advance. These will offer prizes and the further you make it, the better they will be, with the top one being an 800x your stake.
Free Spins Round
This bonus will trigger when you land three of the free spins symbols. You will then have to pick from three sacks, with the chosen one revealing the number of free spins you have won, with the most being up to 20. The Santa’s Gifts bonuses can be triggered and the spins can be re-triggered.
Jingle Bells Slots at Kerching
Malcolm Says…
With a theme like this, Jingle Bells needed to be a quality offering to attract players outside of Christmas. Luckily, Red Tiger Gaming knows how to make a slot game, and they have utilised the full extent of their knowledge here. It's simple in design but still really nice to look at, with visuals that represent the theme perfectly. And there are the bonuses, of which there a variety. Random acting bonuses can provide real excitement in slot games, but here they can be very useful too, if you are fortunate. The Santa's Bonus is equally great, and we always love a free spins mode.
