Introduction

Christmas is a perennial theme for video slots as developers try to capture a share of the seasonal market. In our Jingle Bells (Red Tiger) slot review, we’ll avoid comparing it to other successful slot games like Push Gaming’s Fat Santa slot, as tempting as that may be. Red Tiger slots deserve proper attention as the developer’s track record is generally reliable.

Jingle Bells is a Red Tiger Gaming free play slot with 40 fixed paylines The minimum bet size is 0.20 and the maximum is just 10. There are 10 regular symbols: Bells, Star, Baubles, Stocking, Candy Cane and the highest 5 playing cards. The Wilds range from single gift boxes to a huge pile of them.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

There’s a definite comic feel to the welcome screen, with Christmas decorations crashing down around the ears of a slightly startled-looking Santa. We defy you not to be amused by the bizarre red and gold frames of his glasses, which replace the traditional wire ones. Proceed to the game and you’ll see a huge grid in rich Christmas colours. It’s a simple concept but the animation is very inventive. The music is underwhelming, but on the whole, it’s a good-looking game.

How to play Jingle Bells (Red Tiger)

1. Before you begin, you’ll need to click on Stake to access the betting options. Set your bet from the options, which range from 0.20 to 10.00
2. Most slot games offer an autoplay mode and sometimes a turbo mode, but Jingle Bells has neither of these, so you will have to spin the reels yourself every time.
3. To arrive at the winning sum for each payline, the game’s mechanics divide the stake by the 40 paylines and then multiply the result by the symbol multiplier. If there are several wins on different lines, they are added together. However, only the biggest win in each combination is paid. If you land 6 matching symbols, for example, you will only be paid for the 6 and not the smaller combinations that make up the 6.
4. Check the top left of the screen to view your credit balance.
5. To start the reels spinning, either click on the Spin button or press the space bar. If you’re playing on a mobile device, just tap Spin. 
6. The importance of responsible gambling cannot be overstated. Slot games are intended to be fun. We support initiatives such as BeGambleAware, and although a physical slot machine will almost always require you to spend money, online slot games are often available for free so you can try before you bet. If you do decide to bet, please stay within affordable limits. Use the self-exclusion and time-out functions available in your gaming account. When the game stops being enjoyable, you should quit.

Jingle Bells (Red Tiger) review: our verdict

Few Christmas-themed slots stray far from the hearth with its decorations and presents. Red Tiger have managed to bring some welcome imaginative touches to a well-worn subject. Although there isn’t a genuine bonus game, there are several worthwhile extras to punctuate the base game. The RTP is average, but the maximum payout is very healthy.
