Jingle Bells slot overview

Jingle Bells is a slot with 5 reels and 20 paylines. It was created by Red Tiger Gaming studio. With a Christmas theme, it has 4 randomly triggered mini features with wilds, lower value symbol removal, a giant 3×3 wild symbol and a multiplier of up to 20x.

There’s also a Santa bonus feature, where users are given the chance to choose gifts to win up to 800 times their bet. The free spins feature gives the player up to 20 freespins with additional free spins that can be won, and randomly triggered mini features also apply.

Features of the slot machine

The Christmas-themed game is available on desktop, mobile and tablet devices. The goodies on offer include rain jokers, high value only reel spins, mega 3×3 jokers and multipliers, as well as a free spins feature and a money trail. The latter offers prizes worth 800 times the bet. Santa has between £20 and £500 in the bag per spin.

The visuals on display are bright and bold, even by Red Tiger Gaming standards. The setting is a cosy living room with a roaring fire in the corner. The lower value playing cards are joined by Christmas sweets, stockings, trinkets, stars and bells. Five bells pay 320 coins.

Features

The gift is the wild in the game – it replaces everything but the free spins and bonus symbols, and offers rewards of up to 400 coins. Worth a special mention is the animated Santa, who can randomly sneak onto the screen in the main game and get 1 of the 4 mini-functions:

1. Raining Wilds – Christmas presents rain down on the reels and in the process turn a random set of symbols into jokers.
2. Winning Reels – lower value playing cards are removed from the reels. Subsequent reels will only contain higher value symbols.
3. Mega Wild – A giant 3×3 wild symbol is added to the reels, giving a great opportunity to create a big winning combination.
4. Christmas Tree feature – Santa shakes a Christmas tree to the right of the reels to reveal a multiplier of up to 20x to be applied to winnings.

Jingle Bells also has 2 main bonus features. The Santa bonus feature is to land 3 bonus sleigh symbols anywhere on the reels to activate the symbol. The player is taken to a mountain path. There, one must choose from the presents to make their way along the trail. The higher this is done, the more prizes are offered.

The free spins feature requires selecting one of the 3 bags to know the number of free spins the player has received. Up to 20 pieces are available. The mini features are used during the main feature. More free spins can also be re-triggered.

Jingle Bells looks and sounds nice and has a fantastic feature set. All of the mini features can bring big payouts. They come at decent intervals, too. Christmas themed slots are a real hit and miss, but Jingle Bells is one of the best we’ve come across. Gorgeously designed and with quality bonuses, it’s a very enjoyable slot. If Santa works his magic, there could be some lovely presents hidden in his sleigh too.
