Christmas Carol Megaways

The Christmas Carol Megaways slot is a holiday themed-game based on the classic  Dickens novel of the same name. So if you're looking for Xmas Megaways slots that don't come with an overload of holiday cuteness, this might be the game for you.  

This slot was designed by Pragmatic Play, who also brought us Gates of Olympus, Big Bass Splash and Big Bass Bonanza. The symbols on the 6-reel grid include Tiny Tim, Ebenezer Scrooge and the three ghosts that lead him to change his ways. There’s also a horizontal reel on top of the grid, and when all possible positions on the grid are full, the game produces 200,704 ways to win, an impressive figure even for a Megaways slot. 

Pragmatic Play has gone with generic 10 - A card ranks as the low-pays and put all its efforts into the premiums, which are illustrated characters from Dicken's classic novel, the  Ghosts of Past, Present, and Future, plus Bob Crachett and Tiny Tim. 

Of course, the main character in the book is Scrooge, and in the Christmas Carol video slot, he appears as the Wild, standing in for all other symbols to help the player form line wins. However, he can only land on reels 2 to 4, and the top horizontal reel. And as you would expect, he does not give his own payouts. 

The Scatter is Scrooge's pocket watch and will trigger the Free Spins when four are in view anywhere on the grid. And following the example of its owner, it does not give payouts. 

The Tumble feature is always active and ready to award the player some extra wins per spin. After a winning combination appears on the reels, all the symbols in it explode, and the remaining and new symbols tumble down to fill the empty spaces. The process repeats until no new combos are created. 

Once four or more pocket watch Scatters land to trigger the Free Spins, the player gets a choice between rounds, which is a feature we're seeing more often on new online slots. Here, it's a choice between rounds with fewer spins and higher starting win multipliers or the other way around. There are three starting win multipliers available, x1, x5, and x10, and the number of spins on offer depends on the number of triggering Scatters. 

We talked about starting win multipliers above because one great feature that really boosts the win potential of the round is a progressive win multiplier. Whatever starting multiplier the player chooses will be increased by +1 after every Tumble win, without resetting between spins! 

Scatters can also land during the round, but only on the top reel, meaning it can be extended without limit. Every time three pocket watches land on the top reel, five more spins are added to the remaining total. And since the progressive win multiplier is also unlimited, the Free Spins have the potential to award some massive wins. 

The game comes with Ante Bet and Bonus Bet options, which increase the chances of winning Free Spins, or trigger them directly for a price. But these options are not available to UK online slots players.
