About Wonders of Christmas
With the stunning graphics we’ve come to expect from NetEnt, Wonders of Christmas is played across 5 reels with 20 active paylines. It’s available to play on desktop and mobile devices from 10p up to £50 per spin. Highly volatile, its RTP is an average of 96.03% so expect to see wins every 5 to 6 spins.
Set at the entrance to a grand house decked with holly wreaths and twinkling lights, a traditional festive tune plays, and once you hit a win, you’ll hear the popular Jingle Bells song to celebrate. Once you trigger the bonus round you enter the house and settle in front of the huge roaring fire surrounded by a Christmas tree, stockings, and gifts.
On the reels, you’ll see the usual royal card suits, alongside a snow globe, Christmas stockings, a gingerbread house, a toy train, and a Sleigh. The latter is the most lucrative paying 5x for 5 on an active payline. The Christmas tree is the scatter and the wild is a gift with a gold frame.
Gameplay and Features
While playing Wonders of Christmas the gift with a gold frame can land, these can transform into golden gifts randomly and the frames become active. On the following spin, the active frames turn into wilds which in turn helps create bigger wins by substituting regular symbols. Once the golden frame becomes wild all the framed symbols adjacent become wild and spread through the frames creating huge winning combinations.
Landing gift symbols on inactive frames award a point and this is added to the meter, the points increase by 1 to 4 if it lands on an active frame.
When the meter reaches 200 points, the multiplier increases anywhere between 1x to 1000x, it accumulates and leads into the bonus game once it is triggered. Once the bonus game has ended you return to the base game and the meter resets to 1.
Landing 3 or more scatters triggers the free spins, and 3 respins are awarded. During the respins only gold coins or blank symbols land. Any frames or active frames from the base game that did not turn wild now lock in position for the spins, where prizes of between 0.5x and 2x are awarded. During the spins coins with values of 0.5x and 50x can land, once they do the respins reset to 3. The game ends after all positions on the grid are filled or you run out of respins. The coin values are added together and multiplied by the total win multiplier awarded during the base game.
Verdict
Like many Christmas-themed slots, elements of previous releases are often used and Wonders of Christmas is inspired by Rome: The Golden Ages. However, Wonders of Christmas oozes festive fun and the trick is to collect wilds to fill the meter which in turn triggers the free spins delivering multipliers of up to 1000x. Couple that with a full screen of the highest-paying gold chocolate coins with a 950x the bet, which results in an overall multiplier of 1.9 million!
