Ho Ho Hodl - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Ho Ho Hodl Overview

Crash Game games are often inspired by flying things, from aeroplanes to rockets. Here, Gaming Corps have looked to a more seasonal craft: Santa’s sleigh. Father Christmas takes off to deliver the presents but also battle a snow monster. Like most crash games, the aim is to collect when the multiplier peaks, before the crash, but there are also bonuses like free bets.

Graphics and Mechanics

The background of Ho Ho Hodl is a night sky, sprinkled with stars and drifting snow, the moon bright and clear. Snowy rooftops and treetops pass underneath. It’s a setting that tries to capture the wintery magic of Christmas, including Santa on his sleigh and strings of fairy lights wrapped around the sack of presents.

Elves hop out, one by one, from a little house with a candy cane chimney stack. Once aboard, Rudolph moves forward along the wooden launch platform and the sleigh takes to the air. It might encounter the snow monster in the form of the disembodied head of an abominable snowman, but if not, Santa will disappear in a streak of magical silver.

Ho Ho Hodl RTP and Volatility

The RTP of the Ho Ho Hodl slot can go as high as 97%, depending on how you play. The variance is high (9/10).

How to Play Ho Ho Hodl

There are no reels here like you’d see in a slot, but you still need to make a bet before playing, which means you still need to think about responsible gambling measures like timeout and self-exclusion functions, as well as a budget. Betting can be controlled from the bottom of the screen, where you’ll see the current level, framed by + and - symbols and the words “min” and “max”. These will let you lower or raise your stake, with a minimum threshold of 10p.

Collect settings are also down here. This is the level at which you automatically collect the existing win multiplier, preventing you from chasing the crash. You need to decide both bet and collect settings before Santa takes off; otherwise, you’ll have to wait until the next round. Clicking “Place bet” will set your current level. Before you do any of this, it may be wise to head to the top corner so you can read through the info page and find the sound button.

With Santa in the air, the multiplier will begin to rise, and with it the potential total win. You can collect now for a definite payout or wait and hope that it grows higher, but if you wait too long, Santa will disappear, the multiplier will crash and you'll win nothing.

Ho Ho Hodl Bonuses

Ho Ho Hodl Summary

Gaming Corps probably hope this game will fill you with the Christmas spirit at all times of year. If you’re utterly averse to Christmas in all its forms, it may not be for you. It’s not just the Christmassy theme that distinguishes it from other Gaming Corps casino games, but also the battles between Santa and the snow monster, plus the multiplier boosts and free bets.
