Jingle Bells Jackpot: A Winter Wonderland of Christmas Slots

How does the slot spread festive joy this Christmas?

Blueprint Gaming’s successful aquatic franchise is the basis for its first Christmas slot with the release of Crabbin’ for Christmas Jackpot King.

The game board is adorned with festive Christmas colours and an icy ocean, while the familiar crustaceans and beloved fishermen that serve as symbols are gifted merry red hats as the game combines the holiday season and nautical charm.

Trigger free spins by hitting a combination of three, four or five scatter symbols. Here, each wild Fisherman symbol that appears collects the cash value of any Crustacean symbols in view.

Activate the Lightning Spins Feature when four more Golden Cash symbols appear. Four fixed jackpots are available during this mode while the spin counter gets reset whenever a new symbol lands for enhanced winning potential.

The golden Fisherman may appear in both free spins and Lightning Spins and awards a win multiplier of up to x10.

Players who want Christmas to come extra early can directly access the bonus features in permitted markets. For 75x the bet, players may trigger free spins or Lightning Spins, and for 180x the bet, both rounds are upgraded to ensure all Fisherman symbols are golden.

Crabbin’ for Christmas also features the now industry standard Jackpot King progressive system that offers big win potential like no other. It joins other recent releases such as King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas™ and Deal or No Deal The Big Hit Megaways Jackpot King™ in the exclusive Jackpot King ranks.

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing and Relationships at Blueprint Gaming, said:

“We’re really excited by the launch of our first Christmas slot with Crabbin’ for Christmas Jackpot King, which we’re sure will be another exciting addition to the series.”
“The features ensure the game is its own unique entity that stands out as a solid entry in the Blueprint catalogue. The Christmas theme and merry soundtrack serve to add to an immersive gameplay experience.”

Realistic Games has given its hit game Book of Charms a seasonal makeover with the release of Book of Charms Christmas Edition.

The festive next chapter in the Book of series adds a winter aesthetic to the iconic reels, with snowy horseshoes, coins and clover adorning the gameboard which is played across 10 paylines.

Wild symbols boost win potential by x2 and are joined by book wilds that further amplify the likelihood of forming a win in a game that boasts multiple opportunities for players to do so.

The big draw of the original hit Book of Charms, its two exciting bonus features, was shortlisted for the prestigious CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards Game Mechanic of the Year, and it too returns in this Christmas edition.

The first is triggered by landing three or more Yellow Orb scatters, which awards 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier in play. The second offers an expanding symbol mechanic across up to 10 free spins.

Unwrapping even more fun, each bonus round can be triggered while playing through the other, offering exciting and rewarding gameplay. Plus, the bonus symbol of the yellow orb feature can become the expanding symbol in the book bonus potentially awarding up to 165 free spins.

Featuring festive visuals and exciting bonus mechanics whilst building upon an existing fan favourite title, Book of Charms Christmas Edition adds to the runaway success of its predecessor and exemplifies the holiday spirit. It follows other recent notable Realistic Games hits including Book of Midas, Destination Atlantis and Shinobi Moon.
