Christmas in Papertown - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Indulge in a little festive cheer with Epic Industries' Christmas in Papertown. As you play, you'll see that Santa Claus is busy delivering gifts from his sleigh, and he'll make random visits during the base game to leave a gift on top of one of the symbols. That gift will replicate either horizontally, vertically or diagonally across the reels, covering up between 1 and 5 symbol positions. The gifts will then unwrap themselves to reveal wilds. Santa also appears as the scatter in this game, with 5 or more triggering up to 17 free spins for the bonus round. Santa will deliver even more wilds during the free spins, which will multiply any wins they form. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Christmas in Papertown has a simple, clean look to it, with the reels set in a colourful frame made of cut-out cardboard trees. It's propped up against the inside of a frosty window, where snowflakes drift down gently outside. The symbols are festive icons drawn in the style of origami and include a reindeer, a Christmas tree, a snowman, a holly wreath, a snowflake and a star. The bonus scatter is Santa himself, while the wild is a Christmas elf. The lower-tier symbols, A to J, are also made of origami shapes. The soundtrack is light and fun, although it's repetitive.

Christmas in Papertown review

Christmas in Papertown is a simple but entertaining slot designed for the festive season. The Santa's sleigh feature, where wilds can expand right across the reels, keeps the interest during the base game. Plus, the guaranteed visits from Santa on each spin during the free spins round can potentially increase the chances of some good wins. 

The minimum requirement of 5 bonus scatters to trigger the free spins round is unusually high and makes the free spins round feel a little more difficult to reach. When we finally did manage to trigger the feature, it was for the minimum of 7 free games. If you find this frustrating, Push Gaming's Fat Santa slot may be a more satisfying alternative. It's a medium-volatility game with a similar Santa's sleigh bonus and a more generous RTP of 96.45%. It also has a 'buy feature' that will immediately activate the free games bonus in exchange for credits.

Epic Industries is a fairly young company and has only just recently started releasing their own games, so not many examples of theirs feature yet among our demo slots. However, there will be plenty more in development, so be sure to keep the Epic Industries free slot demos page bookmarked for more demo slots in the future.
