Casinos with All About Christmas in your country
Review
A studio decided to revisit one of their older games for the holiday season. They opted for a title called All Sports as the base. The result is a holiday-themed slot, but it feels even more uninspired than the original.
The theme lacks originality, and the soundtrack can be grating. Triggering the bonus round via the Hold & Spin feature feels pointless, as it serves no other purpose in the base game. The stacked multiplier wild is infrequent, and without it, the maximum win on a single spin is limited. There are better holiday-themed titles available.
Slot Features
The wild symbol is represented by a Christmas present. It appears on all reels and substitutes for other symbols to create winning combinations. It often appears stacked. If a full stack of wilds lands on reel 3, it includes a random multiplier between 2x and 5x during the base game.
Landing a full stack of bonus symbols on reel 1 activates the Hold & Spin feature. All bonus symbols on the reels become sticky, and a respin is awarded. Respins continue as long as at least one new bonus symbol appears. Filling the entire screen triggers the free spins round.
This awards 8 free spins initially, and the feature can be retriggered in the same manner during the bonus round. Triggering the Hold & Spin feature during a free spin requires a fully stacked symbol on the first reel. All wilds on the reels also become sticky. The feature then plays out as it did when the bonus round was triggered. The difference is that you now win money.
A full stack of wild symbols can also appear on the middle reel during the bonus round. The multiplier awarded is higher during free spins, with boosts of 3x, 5x, 7x, or 10x. If the total winnings from the free spins round are less than 10x the stake, an additional 8 free spins are awarded automatically.
Experience
A stack of wilds on reel 2, along with bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3, led to a solid base game win. This was necessary after a period of smaller returns. We were close to triggering the bonus round but fell one symbol short. However, a larger win occurred towards the end.
Review Summary
This slot is a holiday-themed version of All Sports. The features can feel a bit strange. The Hold & Spin in the base game does not provide any winnings, only triggering the bonus round. This can be frustrating when nothing results from it.
The stacked multiplier wild can be helpful, but it rarely appeared during the test session. Landing a 10x multiplier wild in the bonus round seems extremely rare, but it can lead to payouts up to 2,000x the stake. Overall, this slot is a forgettable clone of an already forgotten game.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Stacked random multiplier wild on reel 3 up to 10x | Holiday-themed reskin of a somewhat boring game |
| Free spins with Hold & Spin triggers | |
| Medium volatility and payouts up to 2,000x the stake |
