NetEnt Release Their First Christmas-Themed Slot

Posted by Harry Kane on Monday, November 28, 2016

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, as the song says, and we’re all anticipating the holidays. And while a group of scientists had to conduct a study to find out what the ingredients of feeling Christmassy are, we know that casino games fans now have exactly what they need to get into the holiday spirit. Just a few spins of the reels and you’ll feel as if you’re holding a mug of your favourite hot drink (cocoa, mulled wine, or whisky – whatever your pick), lounging by the Christmas tree enjoying yourself, loved ones by your side.

What we’re talking about is NetEnt’s brand-new Christmas-themed slot, of course. It’s being released on November 30 and it will surely put you in the mood no matter if you feel Christmas time approaching or not.

The Swedish game developer is famous for making their fans happy regularly and has, indeed, given their competition a hard time with their productivity. However, they were, admittedly, lacking in game titles that were specifically dedicated to Christmas and the winter holidays.

Last year, they tried filling the void in their otherwise impressive portfolio by revamping two of their popular slots, Flowers and Fruit Shop. By adding lots of snow and ice, they gave the two slot machines a holiday makeover and produced two decidedly wintery Christmas editions.

But NetEnt’s true Christmassy potential is only developed now, with the release of their new slot – Secret of Christmas. It’s a 5-reel, 3-row, 25-line slot machine, which abounds in Christmas images. The graphics, as anyone who has seen a slot from this well-known provider would expect, are amazing, while the quality of the slot reinforces NetEnt as the leading supplier in iGaming.

The background is a wooden cabin with snow falling peacefully all around. The player is allowed a peek at it over the snow-covered window pane. The window, which is framed with boughs of holy and pine, dusted with snow and festive lights, doesn’t show you what’s inside the house. Instead, it gives you a good look at the reels. As the reels start spinning, you’ll see fantastic theme-related symbols.

The low-value symbols are the classic playing card icons. In this case, however, they are made out of branches of a Christmas tree. The high-value symbols include a gingerbread house, a serving of milk and cookies for Santa, a stocking and a bell. The wild symbol is Santa Clause himself and the scatter symbol is Santa’s bag of toys.

The scatter symbol triggers a bonus round of free spins. Before it starts, though, the players are prompted to select their presents, with each present giving them different rewards, such as extra spins or multipliers. The number of presents you’ll be allowed to pick is determined by the number of scatters you’ve landed.

This beautiful slot is available both for desktop and mobile devices. Also, you have the choice of playing it in demo or real money mode. No matter which option you’ll choose, this breath-taking Christmas-inspired slot is sure to make you feel Christmassy without the extra calories.
