Jingle Slots Slots

We rarely reveal the theme of a reviewed slot game in the title, but we cannot do much more here. The Jingle Slots title certainly doesn't keep much under wraps, does it?

We can keep back many more details about the game though, giving you a chance to discover them as you read through our report on Jingle Slots here.

Created by a promising developer

If you've tried other slots from Nucleus Gaming, you'll know they have an exciting habit of releasing promising games that deliver on that early promise.

The demo is the perfect place to begin

What better way could there be to learn more about any slot than this? Jingle Slots does give us a demo budget to practice with if we wish, and while no real prizes are there, we can see what's involved quite easily.

Jingle Slots has a Christmassy theme, of course

Not quite jingle bells, but Jingle Slots is an amusing title and opens the way to finding out more about this game.

The highlights are reserved for the icon designs

The background gives us the usual darkening skies - clearly on Christmas Eve as there's Santa on his sleigh riding in front of a full moon. However, we have houses and barns decorated for the festive season and covered in snow, so it all looks amazing.

The reels themselves contain letters made from red berries and pine branches, while there are gifts, stockings, and toys among the other icons.

How to play the Jingle Slots game

There are five reels here, each showing the usual set of three symbols. Over to the right of those reels though, there is an extra one with just one symbol on it. We'll explain more about how that works in a bit. It doesn't take long to realize there are no progressives in action here.

There are two wilds in the game, with Santa taking the first position and offering a 2x multiplier to prizes. He can also expand to complete the reel he appears on. Meanwhile, one of his reindeer also becomes a wild, and this one offers a 3x multiplier.

Fewer paylines than you might expect

There are just 10 here, shown as numbered on the left side of the reels. You can check them out in the paytable as well.

What are the minimum and maximum wagers like?

You've got a betting range that goes from 20 cents per spin to $10 per spin.

Paytable reading is essential

There are the basics of this game, of course, but you've also got some extras to read about, so the paytable will explain more about these.

Look out for some Santa Claus Rewards

If the wild Santa symbol lands on the reels with one of four reindeer, you'll receive a special element to the game. Cupid gives you a free spin of the reels with all appearing reindeer staying in position for the spin. If you find Santa with Dasher, you'll see another Dasher icon appearing on the left or right of the symbol as well.

The third possibility is to get Dancer with Santa to create a 3x multiplier if it contributes to prizes. Finally, Santa appearing with Rudolph gives you a guaranteed cash prize. This could be up to 400x your bet played per line.

You might also land Santa's sleigh on the sixth smaller reel when getting these triggers, so there could be more to celebrate if you do…

Free spins might appear as well

Yes, and this time you need to look for some snowmen. If you pick up three of those, you'll get six spins, and if you get four, you'll receive 10 spins. Finding five snowmen will reward you with 15 free spins. You can also pick up more spins if you manage to get the right triggers during the first set of games won.

You could double the quantity of free games received if you land Santa's sleigh on the final reel too, along with the triggering combination needed on the main reels.
