Jingle Jackpot Slots
'Tis the season to be spinning! Jingle Jackpot is a Christmas themed slot machine by Mazooma which provides a stocking full of bonus features and a good dollop of festive cheer. There are 5 reels and 10 paylines upon which players can line up the Yuletide game symbols. It's not a question of whether you have been naughty or nice this year, it's all down to pure luck whether you will get a nice winning present or not. However, if you're really lucky then you might take away the game's ever-growing progressive jackpot.
Oh What Fun It Is to Spin...
Admit it, you just can't beat some good old Christmas themed fun – and Jingle Jackpot offers just that. That said, Jingle Jackpot isn't exactly the kind of game you would want to play on a mid-summer's day – although we are sure that there are plenty of punters out there who wouldn't be ashamed to play this game all year round.
Admittedly, the aesthetic is a little bit over the top with the Christmas decorations, and as such, this game will not appeal to any Scrooges out there. The reel symbols include images of Christmas pudding, mistletoe and gift-wrapped presents. There is also a very cheesy looking depiction of Santa Claus – the kind of outdated Santa that you would find on a Christmas card from your elderly relatives. Meanwhile, the background is cluttered with tinsel and baubles and a light snow falls gently down the screen. It's all a bit of a festive overload – which is sure to attract as many spinners as it deters.
What Gifts Does This Slot Machine Bring?
If you can handle the Yuletide explosion that is this Jingle Jackpot, then you might just find some sizeable gifts as you spin the reels. This is helped by the tendency for the game's symbols to stack themselves into bunched groups; so, you will find that you can line up a couple of winning combinations on just one single spin.
The 10 paylines are permanently placed, so you can't decrease or increase this as a variable value. However, you can alter the size of the total bet in the following increments: 60, 75, 120, 150, 225, 300, 450, 600, 750, 1,200 and 1,500. This offers quite a limited range of wagering options compared to most other slot machines from this software provider. Nonetheless, there is plenty of opportunity to play both safe and risky spins.
If you were to go all out and place the maximum bet of 1,500, then you could win up to 50,000 credits by lining up five Santa Claus symbols. Five present symbols will offer 40,000 icons while the mistletoe and Christmas pudding will both reward 30,000. The slot machine's least rewarding icons are the commonplace card values. K and A, for instance, will pay no more than 20,000 credits and 10, J, and Q will pay no more than 10,000. Even though these pay out values are quite low in relation to other slot machines, they are nicely bunched together so that even the more basic symbols will provide some generous wins in comparison to the top jackpot.
The game also features a wild symbol which will link up all other game symbols to complete winning combinations.
Santa's Progressive Jackpot
There is one more pay out value left to mention – and that is held by the Jingle Jackpot progressive jackpot. This is essentially a kitty which keeps on rising as more people pay bets into the slot machine. This communal pot will be awarded on any normal spin completely at random.
Christmas Cracker Bonus
Spinners will also be treated to a few Christmas Cracker Bonuses during the game. There are four different gifts and they are given out at random after unsuccessful spins and jackpot wins. Here's how it works:
- Rewind: This bonus will nudge one or more reels until a winning combination is found.
- Fast Forward: Like above, this feature will nudge the reels but in the reverse direction until a win is achieved.
- Domino: One randomly chosen symbol will move over the reels, turning over symbols into matching icons to guarantee a winning sequence.
- All Symbols Pay Scatter: This feature will award wins for any icon which appears three or more times, regardless of whether they align on a pay line.
Spin Yourself Merry
This slot machine may not be to everyone's taste with its intense Christmas theme. In fact, the whole thing is bordering on garish and gaudy. However, Jingle Jackpot does possess the potential to be very rewarding with a series of mystery bonuses and a continuously growing jackpot. Plus, randomly awarded bonuses are sure to put even the Scroogiest of Scrooges into the festive spirit.
