The Design

Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ tells the story of the elderly Ebenezer Scrooge. He becomes much friendlier after being visited by the spirit of his ex-business partner and Christmas. The action happens inside one of the rooms in Scrooge’s mansion, which is cosily decorated. There is a Christmas tree to the left and a fireplace to the right.

On the semi-transparent reels, you will see all kinds of decorative Christmas items. There are presents and 4 ghosts. The latter are the spirits of the Christmas Past, Present, Future and Jacob Marley. These appear highlighted by the green, purple, orange and pink backdrop.

Holiday Spirits Gameplay

The pay-table includes festive snow globes and Christmas stockings. There are red-white candy canes and a festive mistletoe. These are at the low end and return 0.40 to 1x stake for 3 of a kind. The premiums are the 4 spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, Future and Jacob Marley. They pay 1.40 to 4x stake for 3 of a kind on a line.

The wild is Ebenezer Scrooge with the word itself. It substitutes for all regular low and high-paying symbols. Landing 3 wilds pay the most of all – 16 times your stake.

Holiday Spirits Features / Bonuses

There are several features and bonus games you will benefit from in Holiday Spirits. One of them is Ebenezer’s Clock, which is located over the game window. It can trigger at any moment in the base game or on a winning spin. When this happens, the clock awards with an x2, x3, x4, x5 or x10 win multiplier, which boosts your payout. Additionally, Ebenezer’s Gift Box, which is next to the clock, can light up at the same time. This doubles the active multiplier you have won and makes your multiplier boost to x4, x6, x10 and x20.

The main bonus feature in Holiday Spirits is the Win Spin, which has 3 forms. To activate it, you need a losing spin along with two stacks of identical symbols and an activated multiplier. You can also achieve this with stacks of matching symbols with wilds and an active win multiplier on a non-winning spin. The triggering stacks become sticky symbols. Then the reels respin and land a guaranteed win. According to what multiplier you have active, you win one of 3 types of Win Spins. These are:

• Win Spin of Christmas Future – x2 active win multiplier: you get respins until you score a win. For each losing respin you get an increase of the multiplier from x2 to x3, x4, x5 and finally x10. Once you reach the maximal x10 multiplier, you have a guaranteed winning spin;
• Win Spin of Christmas Present – x3, x4 or x5 active win multiplier: you get respins with a guaranteed win on each one. There is no change of the multipliers;
• Win Spin of Christmas Past – x10 active win multiplier: you win respins until you hit a win. On each losing respin, the multiplier decreases from x10 to x5, x4, x3 and finally x2. Once it reaches the minimum value of x2, you are guaranteed to hit a win.;

Keep in mind that Ebenezer’s Gift Box can trigger at the end of all three Win Spin modes. The jackpot win per spin is 1,600 times your stake.

The Conclusion

Holiday Spirits is very similar to Play’n GO’s Chronos Joker. Yet, the theme and story are entirely different. The features and modifiers are worthy of players’ attention. The rounds are entertaining. The Christmas spirit and the story behind it add to its attraction.
