Christmas Bonanza slot review

Megaways in a winter setting

The slot has 6 reels and up to 117,649 ways to pay. In a Megaways game the number of ways shifts from spin to spin, so 117,649 is the ceiling rather than a constant.

The look is a snowy Christmas scene. Seasonal slots tend to be played in a short window each year, so many people meet this one in December rather than all year round.

What 96% and high volatility imply

An RTP of 96% means a house edge of 4%, measured across a very large number of spins. It is a statistic about the whole game, not a promise for your stake today.

High volatility spreads results widely. Expect stretches without much return, and be ready to finish a session well down. Casinos may use a lower RTP configuration, so check the game menu. More in our RTP guide.

Extras on offer

Free spins, wilds, a buy option and the Megaways mechanic make up the extras. Finer rules, such as how many free spins are awarded, are not stated.

The purchase price is a multiple of your stake, so one bonus buy can equal many ordinary spins.

Who it suits

The same maths applies in July as in December, and a festive mood is no reason to raise your stake. The slot may suit players who enjoy seasonal themes and a changing reel format. Play only with money set aside for entertainment, keep to a limit and stay 18 or older. Related: more Big Time Gaming slots, plus our volatility guide.
