Play Xmas Luck for Free

The Christmas song may well suggest decking the halls with holly but the developers have put their own twist on the lyrics and instead covered the board game with wreaths, greenery and fairy lights. And that means you’ll enjoy a happy glow in the depths of your soul every time you look at the reels. But if you want to win prizes you’ll need more than a cheery looking scene; you’ll need to spin those reels to rack up the symbols. Before you get started don’t forget to set up your own betting preferences as you won’t want to end up blowing your whole stash of cash in one go!

There’s 5 reels in this slot which are set out in the usual configuration of 5x3 and include 20 fixed paylines. This means that you can’t adjust the number in play with every spin of the reels. However, if you want to control the amount that you spend per spin you can just alter the stake per active line. This begins at just 1 per payline, giving the total min bet of 20 but can be increased in segments right up to 2000, the equivalent of 100 per payline. If you’re not sure how to bet then take a look at the pay table; this is where you can find out what prizes you’ll receive in return for your money and exactly what you need to do to win.

Christmas is all about the joy of giving and receiving so you might be lucky to receive plenty of prizes from this slot. As well as matching up the basic symbols on the reels, there’s additional features which can help to bump up your prize tally without having to spend more credits. You won’t be overwhelmed by all the extras but there’s certainly some help available.

Wilds are included in this slot, an extra which usually makes an appearance in games from all developers. These can be a very handy symbol to land as they stand in for other symbols on the reels and make it easier to line up a winning match. There’s also a bonus symbol but these won’t trigger a proper bonus feature as you might expect. Instead if you land two or more on the reels, you’ll win some free spins. Two matching symbols will win you 5 free spins while if you manage to land five bonus symbols you’ll receive 60 free spins. As an additional extra, during any of the free spins if you win a prize you’ll automatically receive double.

If you’re crazy about Christmas and can’t get enough of that festive feeling the good news is that there’s plenty of Yuletide themed slots on the market from every developer you can think of. Microgaming produce some excellent examples such as Santa Strikes Back which has sensational 3D graphics and sets the game in a middle of an icy wonderland. Some of their other titles are huge with as many as 50 pay lines but Santa Strikes Back has a more manageable 25, but still offers both free spins and a fun bonus round too.

It’s hard to find fault with any seasonal slot and while Xmas Luck from Inbet Games may not knock your socks off, it’s still a fun play which is easy on the eye. It would benefit from the inclusion of more extra features but with free spins and a multiplier it’s still possible to rack up some good payouts. Because of the simple structure and limited features, this is an ideal game for newbies and intermediate players in particular to enjoy.
