Xmas Avalanche

Xmas Avalanche Review

Some companies apparently felt obliged to release a thematic slot for the 2022 Christmas season. That’s why we are now looking at a game called Xmas Avalanche, and it’s a 7x7 affair with Cluster pays.

The theme of Xmas Avalanche is, of course, about all things Christmas, and we certainly enjoy how it all looks. The game’s animated background with falling snow is certainly the highlight here, and the actual symbols are even cute to some degree. Overall, Xmas Avalanche is certainly one of the better-looking Christmas games out there, and that has to be appreciated.

The math model of Xmas Avalanche has a medium volatility level, and the top win here is 5,100x your stake. The absolute minimum that you can play for is £0.20, while high rollers can risk up to £20 per spin. That’s not a particularly big value, but we’re sure that most players won’t mind it one bit. The theoretical RTP of Xmas Avalanche is then 95%, which is exactly one percent below the current industry average.

Xmas Avalanche Slot Features

There are 7 pay symbols in Xmas Avalanche, and it’s possible to divide them into 4 low-paying symbols and 3 high-paying symbols. For the former, there are Christmas baubles of different colors, while the latter offer snowflakes, wreaths, and gingerbread cookies. Note that you have to get Clusters of 5+ matching symbols in order to get a win, and that the biggest pays are available for Clusters of 15+ matching symbols.

In addition to pay symbols, there are also Gift Wilds and Star Scatters. Gift Wilds can substitute for any of the pay symbols, while Star Scatters can not only net you wins of up to 100x your bet, but also trigger the Free Spins feature.

Kicking off the gameplay, we have the Cascading Wins feature, which allows you to get several wins per one spin. All winning combinations are automatically removed and replaced with new symbols, so you can get several wins in a row that way.

The Cascading Wins feature goes hand in hand with Random Wild Multipliers. At random, winning combos can leave an extra Wild behind, and this Wild comes with a 2x win multiplier. Using it in a win can leave it on the playing field and double its win multiplier, to up to 256x in the base game. You can also use several multipliers together, and the max win multiplier that you can get during free spins is 729x.

Get 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 Star Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature with 10, 12, 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. You can land more Star Scatters to win more free spins, and Wilds that appear as Random Wild Multipliers start with a 3x win multiplier during the Free Spins feature.

Finally, you can use the Buy Feature option and get right to the Free Spins feature. There are 4 options that you can purchase, and they cost between 65x and 150x your total bet.

Review Summary

Ultimately, Xmas Avalanche is a fun Cluster slot that can net you some big wins with its Random Wild Multipliers. Its theoretical RTP is nothing to be happy about, but, if you’re looking to play only for a while, chances are that you won’t actually mind that!
