Microgaming Announces Christmas Themed Online Slot

November 23, 2015

As the festive season approaches players at online casinos start looking out for new Christmas themed online slots. Microgaming, the leading software provider to Canadian online casinos, has been first of the block with the announcement of a slot game appropriately titled Happy Holidays. Expected to go live in the first week of December, this online video slot will be an early gift to Canadian slots lovers. So get ready for a wealth of good times, plenty of holiday cheer and make this festive season truly memorable.

Happy Holidays will bring the traditional white Christmas look straight from a Christmas card. It will also bring a deluge of childhood memories, when the festive holidays were full of uncluttered joy. Microgaming has put in a beautiful introductory clip of snow falling on fir trees and children making a snowman. Everything that you associate with Christmas has been encapsulated as symbols on the reels. Eggnog, decorated trees, Santa Claus, stocking, turkey, snowman, sledding and gifts are a few of images that will delight you. Look out for the win animations. Santa listening to the girl’s wish list will have you preparing your own.

The gaming features in Happy Holidays are somewhat similar to those you would have experienced in Terminator 2. But the setting is so completely different that you cannot be blamed for missing the connection. To begin with it is a 243 ways to win video slot. The Frosty Feature is visually awesome and will enhance your Christmas spending money. If you get a spin without a win, then do not be disappointed. It is on such an occasion that the Frosty Feature may be randomly activated. A strong wind blows across the reels covering all the low paying symbols with snow. Then each of the high paying symbols remaining on the reels awards a bonus payout.

Normally, three or more scattered Christmas tree bulb symbols trigger the free spins. But if you happen to be in the Frosty Feature even one bulb will suffice. You will be awarded 10 free spins, but an extra row will be added on the reels and you will play with 1,024 ways to win. The Happy Holidays logo is the wild symbol. This festive video slot will soon be live at Microgaming powered Canada online casinos like Jackpot City, Platinum Play and Lucky Nugget. Till then there are a number of other Christmas themed slots like Deck the Halls and Gift Rap for you to get the season started.
