Golden 7 Christmas - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Sparkling fruits spin on a Christmas background in this huge maximum payout slot of up to 10,000x your bet! Scatter symbols and high pay awards rather than free games and bonus rounds are the focus for this game, all on a backdrop of the leftover Christmas paper that no one used for this year’s presents.

The automatic spin feature is actually slower than normal play, so use this only if you are not looking for a rapid spin. A maximum bet button is also available, but the only adjustable feature is the coin size. The line bet and the coin volume are fixed for this slot.

Classic fruit machine symbols make up the payline wins for this game, so cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, watermelons and grapes provide the lower cash payouts. Bells and 7s provide the highest win outcomes; what’s more, the bells are scatter symbols and will trigger a win wherever they appear on the grid. This helps to keep the game exciting, as bells come up fairly often and mean a good return to the player of up to 50x your bet.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Golden 7 Christmas is not have the best graphics you will find on the slot market, and the soundtrack stops for a while before restarting as you spin the reels and doesn’t add to the experience of the player.

The layout of this slot is typically Christmassy, with holly in each top corner with a candy cane and present. This is all this game has when it comes to visuals.

The choice of Christmas paper as a background is interesting. It doesn’t look like much time has been spent on the design of the game, which is also true of any significant win graphic.

Adding sparkles that animate and make the reels look more modern would be a good choice here, and a change in background paper and colour wouldn’t go amiss. If you would like to try more Oryx Gaming slots online, search our catalogue by developer.

Golden 7 Christmas RTP & volatility

The RTP (return to player) of Golden 7 Christmas is 95 per cent. This game attracts a huge maximum single payout of 10,000x your bet, which is obviously a very rare occurrence as it is dependent on the maximum bet per line with a perfect payline. The volatility of this game is medium/high, which is good for larger payouts but they will land less often.

Overall review

The huge payouts available in this game are amazing and the wins come fairly often. With the maximum bet placed, the player can win up to a massive 10,000x by matching all 7s across the payline.

The graphics, soundtrack and overall gameplay are poorly executed and not thought through as well as they could have been. Upon winning a large sum, the player is not treated to a huge win display; instead, a flat coloured banner comes up from the bottom of the screen and the music and special effects don’t change. Bonus rounds would really boost the gameplay.

This game design isn’t the best; however, the payouts make up for the lack of visuals. The soundtrack is best played on mute, so head for the speaker button before you start to spin!
