The Nutcracker makes every day turn into Christmas Eve, and the detailed universe of the game makes that even easier.
The reels are skillfully encased with a brick fireplace in living room decorated with beautiful likes and other Christmas stockings. Wooden soldiers are walking around, busy decorating the place as you spin the reels and cross your fingers for big wins.
The Nutcracker is a cute slot game with beautiful graphics, and an iconic soundtrack that every player should recognize right away. Let’s see if the gameplay is just as user-friendly in the next section.
Get Starting on Your List of Christmas Presents
The gameplay of The Nutcracker is very straightforward and follows a classic pattern, all the more recognizable for players who have some experience with other Gameplay Interactive games.
The game matrix is rather restricted: 5 reels, but also only 5 fixed paylines available. Winning combinations of symbols landing on any of these paylines will be valid and trigger cash rewards right away. Just take a moment to adjust your line bet with the (+) and (-) buttons under the reels and let the reels spin once you are ready to start playing.
The cash rewards available in The Nutcracker depend on the combinations that appear on the screen and the size of your total bet as well. Luck plays a big part here of course, but you can always increase your total bet to aim for larger rewards. There is even a max bet shortcut that you can use to go all-in on your next spin and place the highest bet possible automatically. You may also want to play at a faster pace and just wager once and place it on several spins in a row. In such a case, check out the autospin game mode.
Delicious Christmas Treats on the Menu
The paytable of The Nutcracker is either edible or adorable. All in a Christmas spirit, of course. The cash rewards that we will list here are all based on a bet of one coin on the reels.
The gingerbread man is one of the most common symbols of the game, followed by the candy cane, the candles and the colourful baubles. All the winning combinations of the game can be made of 2, 3, 4 or 5 identical symbols on a payline. These symbols can yield between 2 and 200 credits as a reward.
The bells, blue and red wooden soldiers and snowman symbols are a little rarer in the rare, but also more valuable. Your maximum reward here is no less than 2,000 credits for a combinations of 5 snowmen.
Time to Open Your Presents
The Nutcracker is a simple slot game, but it still features a few bonus symbols that you should be looking forward to like Christmas morning.
The snowman symbol mentioned previously is actually a wild card in the game. Unlike in other slot games, it can only replace two other symbols: the wooden soldiers.
The 3 different scatters of the game are all Christmas tree decorations. Find 3 or more of the same kind anywhere on the reels to initiate the bonus game. You get to decorate the Christmas tree with the symbols that you found on the reels, in exchange of several cash prizes. The more scatters you find, the more turns you get in the bonus game, going up to 10 terms for 5 identical scatters on the reels.
Simple but Efficient in the End
The Nutcracker is a slot game full of contrasts. On one hand, the small amount of paylines limits your winning possibilities, but the rewards available in the base game are still very interesting. The wild symbol is not as efficient as in most other games, but you get to enjoy 3 different scatters in a generous bonus game.
In a nutshell, The Nutcracker is probably worth a try if you feel like something a little different with big wins, a Christmas feel and great music.
