Master of Xmas Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Meet a very novel Santa in this 25-payline slot from Belatra. It is a 5-reel, 4-row game with wins of up to 2,000x your bet on offer. It is a medium volatility Christmas-themed game with an RTP of 93.36%. Unwrap it in free demo mode and decide for yourself if it is a gift worth waiting for or if its better off being thrown out with the wrapping paper instead.

Theme and Story

Just like the Fat Santa demo slot, this is a Christmas-themed slot but the symbols on the reels are a little different to many. There are not the usual candy canes and gingerbread men. Instead, the grid is filled with the gold coins, barrels and magnifying glasses.

The story has its own twist as the cross-eyed Santa-type character who welcomes you to the game is known as the Master of Xmas. The grid is his table and his gifts come in the form of free spins, jackpot bonuses and risk games.

Master of Xmas RTP and Variance

This choice of Belatra slots is a medium volatility game. This is a popular choice of variance as it should offer a balance between risk and reward. The theoretical return to player ratio is just 93.36%. This is low considering that the average for an online slot is around 96%. This is not as low as it may seem, however, as this game offers 4 jackpot prizes and this usually means a lower-than-average RTP due to the donations made to the jackpot prize pots.

Master of Xmas Bonus Features

If you’re looking for a slot with wild feature bonuses then this game will not disappoint. The wild symbol can replace other icons to help you to cerate or improve winning combinations.

The Master of Xmas scatter can launch a free spins bonus. As is so often the case in online slots, you will need to land at least 3 of these to trigger the bonus. Extra free spins can be retriggered and the bonus features a super symbol. This large symbols replaces 9 standard symbols and can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.

At least 3 of the Master of Xmas scatter symbols will reward you with 5 free spins. Land 3 more as you play and you get 3 more, up to a bumper bonus of 101 free spins.

Another major bonus in this game is the 4-level jackpot feature. At least 6 of the credit symbols start the bonus game. This is essentially a game of 3 respins. You can land credit symbols, jackpot symbols, or empty symbols. The jackpot symbols include mini, midi, and grand symbols. Land at least 1 symbol (rather than blanks) and you will get 3 more respins. Match the same jackpot symbols to win that prize or fill the grid with credit symbols to win the Mega Jackpot prize. 

If you don’t want to wait for the feature to arrive, Master of Xmas has a Buy Bonus option. This means you pay to play the bonus feature.

After wins, there is a gamble risk game on offer. This allows you to take a chance and guess either the colour or suit of the next card out of the pack. Guess right and your win will be doubled or quadrupled but guess wrong and you will lose the lot. 

Master of Xmas Review

This could have a really interesting theme, although the back story isn’t made clear and so some of the symbols seem a little random. Having said this, they make a pleasant change from the usual array of candy and bow-heavy Christmas-themed icons, and the overall look of the slot is colourful and easy on the eye. The gameplay is equally pleasant, offering an array of bonus features and the chance to win one of 4 jackpot prizes. You will have to decide for yourself whether the jackpot promise is worth the dire RTP, however.
