Jingle Spin Slot Machine
Are you one of the many Egg-O-Matic fans who have been waiting for a sequel to this hilariously funny slot? Good news: the wait is finally over. Meet Jingle Spins, the Christmas edition of the game, where a pressure cooker on the side randomly emits surprise eggs onto a conveyor belt on top of the game window.
Only this time, you will see Papa Elf turning a surprise wheel instead of the rooster operating the pressure cooker, while little helpers advance the surprise baubles in place of a conveyor. Collect the surprises when a wild symbol appears on the same reel, and you could get coin wins, spreading wilds, and up to 50 free spins.
Christmassy Slot Reels
Loading Jingle Spin will remove all doubt that Christmas is coming soon. The slot looks graphically stunning, with a perfectly executed festive theme that includes intricate tree decorations as pay symbols, plus a game grid held in a window with patches of ice.
A tall Christmas tree stands on the left, while Papa Elf is seen turning the festive surprise wheel, dropping the bauble presents into the hands of five little helpers sitting on top of the game window. A festive soundtrack is accompanied by the noises of the surprise bauble wheel as well as the usual reel sounds.
Jingle Spin has 10 pay symbols and one wild symbol, plus four different baubles that travel on top of the game window when they are won on the surprise wheel. The low-paying symbols are the extensively used 10s to As suits, while the premium symbols are a range of five Christmas tree decorations. The wild symbol is a gift box with a red bow, substituting for all symbols. There are no scatter or bonus symbols on the reels, as the free spins are triggered by baubles coming from the surprise wheel.

The Christmas Bauble Wheel
There is one thing we have in common during the festive period: we all look forward to a nice Christmas surprise. Well, on Jingle Spin we can enjoy one on every spin. This is thanks to the Christmas bauble wheel, which contains surprise baubles with extra symbols. In the main game the wheel has up to four empty spaces between the baubles, while during free spins all positions on the wheel will contain a bauble.
Papa Elf turns the wheel on every spin, and any bauble landing on the arrow when the wheel stops will be handed to the first of the five little helpers. With every following spin, they will pass on the bauble to the next in line until it disappears on the left. A bauble is awarded when a wild gift box symbol appears on the same reel as the bauble on top. The gift box will open and award the feature. The choices for the baubles are coin wins, spreading wilds, free spins, and a rainbow-colored surprise bauble which will award one of the three features.
The yellow bauble will award coin wins ranging from a modest 2.5x to a pleasing 125x the total stake. The red bauble activates spreading wilds, turning all adjacent and diagonal symbols into additional wild symbols and creating a block of wilds. The best option is to have it drop onto the middle row of reel two or three, as this will then lead to a mega block of nine wilds – resulting in multiple line wins. The green free spins bauble will award a number of free spins equal to the number displayed on the bauble. The surprise bauble will trigger one of the three features.
The Free Spins Feature
Having a wild symbol land under the green free spin bauble will see it drop to activate 7 to 50 free spins. During the feature, more green baubles can appear indefinitely, adding extra free spins when the bauble is collected.
Throughout the round, the Christmas bauble wheel will have no empty spaces, so it will be handing one bauble to the helpers on every free spin. This guarantees that any wild landing on the reels awards a prize. However, once collected, the space will remain empty until it disappears to the left of the game window.
The choices for the baubles are similar to those in the base game, but the high-value coin wins and spreading wild baubles now appear more often, providing a higher chance to score mega wins.
Other Festive Slot Reels
Nobody will refuse a nice Christmas gift, especially when it is a massive mega win on some of the festive-themed video slots. Let the jolly season shower you with presents when playing slots such as Taco Brothers Saving Christmas from Elk Studios or Holiday Season from Play’n GO.
The Festive Verdict
After years of creating Christmas editions of some of its popular slots – such as Flowers and Fruit Shop, NetEnt has taken the hilarious Egg-O-Matic slot as the base for its Jingle Spin release. The slot features the same pay mechanics, hilarious animations and win potential, and it’s also equally highly entertaining. The quality of the graphics meets the high standard we’re accustomed to seeing from the Swedish game studio over the last years.
The win potential of Jingle Spin is not sky-high, but it’s certainly sufficient for a nice Christmas surprise. Ready to collect your gifts for the merry season?
