Starlight Christmas -

Introduction 

Enter the festive spirit with Pragmatic Play's Starlight Christmas online slot machine, a tumble action online video slot machine with multipliers and more. Getting 8 or more of a kind will score a win regardless of where the symbols are on the 6x6 grid. The tumble feature means that once a winning combination has been paid, all the winning symbols will disappear and others will tumble down to fill their place. If the tumble results in more wins, the process repeats again, and the round ends when no more wins land. Look out for free spins and multiplier symbols. Read on in this Starlight Christmas slot review to find out how they work.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Pragmatic Play's animé twist on a festive theme has resulted in a slot with reels full of shiny, snow-covered gems and a white cat with a santa hat posing as the bonus scatter. The multiplier symbols are hearts of different colours. 

Framed in gold and decorated with traditional Christmas garlands, the reels stand in a snowy mountainous scene. An animé-styled Christmas fairy hovers nearby, guarding the presents that sit on the snow-covered ground.

The fast-paced electronic soundtrack can be jarring at times, but fortunately, this can be turned off in the settings.

Starlight Christmas RTP and variance

The RTP for Starlight Christmas is just above average at 96.50%, and the variance is high.

How to Play Starlight Christmas

1. While the online video slot machine is loading, you'll see a splash screen showing the main features of the game. Touch the spin button to enter the game.
2. Before you start, familiarize yourself with the game's settings, rules, features and paytable. Use the menu button to access the settings, such as effects and ambient music. The info icon gives access to the paytable and rules.
3. Next, set your bet amount. Touch the + or - sign on either side of the spin button to access the betting options. Adjust your bet using the multiplier, coin value and total bet amounts.
4. You're all set to play. When playing online slots, even if they're free or no deposit slot games, make sure you stop when the fun stops and don't chase your losses.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

The total bet amount ranges from between 0.20 coins to 100 coins per spin. The highest-paying symbol on the paytable is the scatter, which will pay out 20 times the total bet for 6 of a kind. Of the regular symbols, the red and gold 'sun' gem has the highest payout at 10x the total bet for 12 or more of a kind.

Starlight Christmas features and bonus

Multipliers

Heart-shaped multiplier symbols can land at any time during base game and free spins rounds. They will land with a multiplier value of anywhere between 2x and 500x the win. When the tumbling sequence ends, any multiplier amounts on the screen are added together and multiply the total win from that sequence.

Free spins

Land 4 or more scatters anywhere on the grid to trigger 15 free spins. When a multiplier lands on a winning round, its value is added to the total multiplier. Any subsequent winning rounds during the free spins round that contain a multiplier will also get added to the total multiplier. The total multiplier is then applied to the win. An extra 5 free spins can be won if 3 or more scatters land during the feature.

Ante Bet

During the base game, the player has the option to increase the bet by 25% in return for an increased chance to land scatter symbols and trigger the free spins round.

Starlight Christmas Review

As a slot with a festive theme, Starlight Christmas's year-round appeal is immediately limited and the relentless soundtrack can be irritating. However, the features and bonus rounds, while not unique, are engaging. This high-volatility slot means that you can wait a long time to hit a bonus even with the ante bet turned on, but when the wins do come in, they can be spectacular. 

If you like online slots like Starlight Christmas but aren't feeling that festive, you may enjoy playing Relax Gaming's Temple Tumble slot, which can be played as a no deposit slot and has a similar 6x6 grid, RTP, volatility, multipliers and extra spins.
