Wild Christmas Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Wild Christmas is a game from the popular developer Stakelogic, which has been creating successful slots since 2014. Although they are always trying to add new twists, they also understand the logic of producing updates and upgrades of earlier successes. 

One of the Stakelogic demo slots that has proved successful in the past is Stakelogic's Voodoo Reels. The themes may be strikingly different but the mechanics of the game have a lot in common. 

Here they have created a Christmas themed slot to rival any of its competitors. But despite the heavy yuletide theme, there’s nothing to stop you playing this any time of year.

Wild Christmas uses as 5x3 grid and it has a generous 243 paylines. The bet size ranges from 0.40 to 40, with a coin value from 0.01 to 1.

There are 10 different regular symbols in the Wild Christmas paytable: Santa, Rudolph, Sleigh and Bells, plus a Merry Christmas Logo and playing cards from 10 to Ace. There are also Wilds (a gift wrapped in red and gold, a Crazy Wild (a gift wrapped in white with red spots) and an Evil Elf, whose job is to sabotage your game unexpectedly.

Winning combinations are combinations of three, four or five symbols on adjacent reels starting with reel 1. The winning symbols can be at any position on the reels.

For a winning combination of five matching symbols, the same symbol must appear on each of the five reels and the maximum 243 (3x3x3x3x3) happens when the same symbol lands on every position on all five reels.

 
Theme, graphics and soundtrack

The look of Wild Christmas is utterly traditional. The background is an inviting fireside with warm exposed brickwork, polished floorboards and a hearth rug. Armchairs and gifts are arranged on the right while the left of the screen is taken up with an extravagantly decorated Christmas tree. On the far right and left we can see an idyllic scene of a snowy Christmas village with lights blazing and snow softly falling. The reels themselves are full of Christmas reds, greens and golds. The soundtrack features generic Christmas music, all flutes and bells and pizzicato violins. Nothing wrong with that of course, and it stays in the background.

Wild Christmas RTP and variance

Wild Christmas’s RTP of 95.78 per cent is slightly below the average of around 96 per cent for an online slot. The variance appears to be medium, although there is not consensus on this value.

Wild Symbols

Wilds will substitute for all the regular symbols to create a winning combination. In the base game you’ll see the Wild symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. However, in the Crazy Wild Game they can appear on any of the five reels.

Evil Elf

If the Evil Elf symbol lands on a row where you have already collected a Candy Cane (to the left of the reels) or a Christmas Present (to the right) then that symbol will be forfeited. The Evil Elf appears only on reels 1 and 5.

Crazy Wild Game

When a Christmas Present Symbol lands on one of the rows in reel 5 the corresponding Christmas Present container lights up and that symbol will be saved. If you collect all 3 Christmas Present symbols you win 10 Free Spins. The Christmas Present symbol appears only on reel 5.

Mystery Reward

When a Candy Cane symbol lands on one of the rows on reel 1, the corresponding Candy Cane container lights up and that symbol will be saved. If you collect all 3 Candy Cane symbols you win the Mystery Reward. The Candy Cane symbol appears only on reel 1.

Wild Christmas Review: Our Verdict

This is a nicely put together game which embraces the traditional imagery of Christmas without trying to do anything off the wall. It has a great free spins bonus where stacked symbols and extra wilds can pile up to give handsome pay-outs. It moves quickly and there’s a lot to hold your interest here.
