Theme of The Game
In Christmas Tree, you will find out quickly that it’s not a regular release. Just looking at its game area, you find that it’s Christmas tree shaped, so as you’re going from the bottom to the top, you keep getting fewer and fewer symbols for each row. That’s not an issue though, since the slot has a Cluster Pays system.
Graphics are of very good quality, and you will likely find it a very enjoyable slot machine. There is a dancing snowman next to the tree-shaped reels, and beautiful decorations and houses with Christmas lights in the background. Symbols look like tree ornaments, so they range from baubles of various colors (green, blue, purple), to candy cane, wrapped candy, bells, angels and Santa.
Developer
Yggdrasil Gaming is the name that’s on the tin, along with that of TrueLab, the smaller studio that designed the slot and released it through the YGS Masters program. Even if it’s not 100% a Yggdrasil title, it has the quality of one.
How To Play Christmas Tree Slot Demo
$0.40 is the minimum bet that can be selected, while $40 is the highest one. The change is performed via the Bet Level option, which goes from 1 to 13, and changes the values within the range I just mentioned.
As I previously mentioned, the game has a tree-shaped design, with bigger rows of symbols at the bottom (7 symbols), and fewer at the top (2 symbols). There are a total of 7 reels and 6 rows there, and they have a Cluster Pays system where wins are formed when 5 or more matching symbols are next to each other.
Special Features
You’ve learned how clusters of winning symbols are formed, but now it’s time to find out what happens next. A Cascading Reels system is implemented, quite common these days, and it will make winning clusters disappear, allowing new ones to drop down. If new wins form, the cascades keep going until that’s no longer the case.
Triggering several cascades in a row will bring you new features. A miracle happens then, with the prize consisting of direct cash prizes, multipliers for the round’s wins, or free spins. The best thing about these, is that there is a progressive multiplier which goes up by 1x, following each new cascade, without resetting.
One of its notable symbols, the Snow Globe Wild will be a substitute for all other symbols, with the exception of the Mystery Gift.
Wrapped gifts, with a question mark on the side, are the mystery symbols, which are going to be used during Blizzards, only to transform into a single type of symbol with all its instances. These Blizzards can trigger when there are no more winning clusters left, adding up to 9 Mystery positions.
A Snowman, sitting next to the reels, may activate at times, adding extra wilds to the reels by throwing snowballs at various symbols. The hit symbol transforms, along with any other visible symbols of that type.
Maximum Payouts
Christmas Tree can pay incredibly well, and its top jackpot is going to be worth 25,000x the stake, a value that few others will be able to reach. On the other hand, you also get high volatility from it, but with a high enough RTP at 96.40%.
Summary
For a holiday themed slot machine, Christmas Tree should be a big hit this season, but it’s good enough to be worth checking out even after this period is over.
