Merry Bells Slots

What comes into your mind when you think of Christmas? Gifts, a Christmas tree, some fabulous food, and perhaps some golden bells ringing out the season too. Merry Bells is the ideal title for this slot game then, and we are going to review it in detail for you right here.

Developer info to start things off

This is a much earlier title from Pragmatic Play, so it looks a little different from their more modern offerings.

There should be a demo version to try

When you find the game at a casino offering slots from this developer, you should see a practice option you can get underway with.

Another fab Christmas theme

Yes, there are countless Christmas slots out there already, but Merry Bells is a worthy addition to that themed area.

A wonderful and colorful design to greet us

The game looks superb, and while there is only a little by way of a background, we can still see lights, holly, and sparkling colors there, including a few snowflakes. The best of the design is on the reels, with a reindeer on a sled, Father Christmas, a snowman on skis, and a gingerbread man all appearing throughout the game.

How to play the Merry Bells slot game

Don't expect a progressive jackpot in this one. You can, however, expect the familiar five by three format to appear upon loading the game.

Watch for a charming snow-covered house to appear on the reels, all decked out for the season. This is a wild symbol, so it's even better to see in action. We also see Santa in his sleigh flying in front of the moon - this is a bonus symbol. Finally, the Christmas tree in front of a roaring fire is the scatter. The wild won't replace either of those, although it does replace everything else.

How many lines can you bet on?

The game has 25 lines to bet on.

Start with a minimum penny wager

There are other available coin wagers as well, and those could take you to the maximum $125 per spin wager. However, played as a penny slot, it will cost you a quarter to play each spin.

An explanatory paytable

All paytables should be as clear as this one. We were impressed by the detail and simplicity of it, as there is a lot to get through.

Triggering the bonus round

If Santa's bonus symbol lands on the middle three reels of an active payline, you can enter the Santa's Stocking Stuffer game. You'll see five houses, each with a chimney, and Santa is ready to head down whichever one you pick. You then receive a prize and return to the base game.

Free spins also available via the scatter symbol

Yes, you've got a treat in this part of the game too. Three scatters bring 10 free games to play, but if you find more, you'll receive more spins. Four scatters unlock a set of 20 free games, while finding five scatters rewards you with an amazing 50 spins.

RTP details are absent

We didn't find this info when exploring the game.

Our rating for Merry Bells

This one clearly has a sense of humor, given the skiing snowman involved in proceedings. The reindeer wearing shades is cool too. It's more basic than other festive slots we've tried, but we still love it. We're giving it 7.5 out of 10.

Explore the best possibilities for prizes in the paytable

You never know where those free spins might take you, and if you can find a few prizes throughout those spins, it could add up to a tempting overall prize.

Play Merry Bells slots for entertainment

This is a great game to check out just for amusement, to see if you like everything you find on the reels.
