Introduction to Evil Dozen
Evil Dozen is a casino slot from Kitsune Studios, telling an alternative Christmas story of a charming baker called Miss Muffin facing an army of gingerbread men. In the unstoppable avalanche of festive slots with traditional decorations tumbling down to casinos in November and December, it's refreshing to see some studios put a different spin on this seasonal atmosphere. It's not exactly clear why the cookies decided to rebel against the charming lady, although when you meet her gaze, you can get a hint of crazy in there around all the sweetness, a bit of a Harley Quinn vibe, if you will. So, perhaps some horrific things are happening out of sight, and that's the reason for this uprising. As to how this entire situation will benefit you as the player, there are gingerbread houses you must look out for, as they act as Wilds and award win multipliers of up to 200x. During one of the bonuses, they'll become sticky, while in the other, they'll contribute to a progressive multiplier that grows throughout the entire round.
Join the fight and grab a max win of 7,500x the bet when the dust finally settles, or practice some more before jumping in for real in the demo mode at the top of this page.

The base game hit frequency comes at an average rate of 27.9%.
The showdown between the gingerbread men and Miss Muffin took over her little shop. Inside, among the omnipresent delicious confectionery, signs of the conflict can be seen all around. Spilt frosting, dismembered human-shaped cookies, scattered crumbs, these are all signs of brave warriors giving their lives for their brothers. An intense, ominous tune envelops the setting, providing a strong contrast to the colourful visuals and heralding even more horrifying scenes to come. If you're ready to find out how this conflict will end, you can join either side by firing up the game on any modern device, whether you prefer to play on a desktop, a smartphone, or a tablet.
The paytable introduces two sets of distinct regular symbols, which award payouts when you land them on active paylines while using adjoining reels, starting from the leftmost one. Among the low-paying icons, there are cookies shaped into numbers and letters from playing cards, including 10, J, Q, K, and A, awarding between 1x and 2x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind combo. The high-paying group contains five gingerbread men, each having a differently-coloured frosting: blue, green, purple, red, and yellow. Matching 5 premium symbols on a payline awards prizes ranging from 4x to 10x the bet. In addition to regular icons, there are Wilds represented by gingerbread houses in three different colours and Scatters in the form of a kitchen mixer.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics

What features are available in the slot Evil Dozen?
The features are Gingerbread Houses, She’s a Witch Spins, Revolution Spins, and Feature Buy.
Gingerbread Houses
Gingerbread Houses are Wilds that additionally carry multipliers. Depending on the symbol's colour, a different range of values will be available. When Wilds contribute to a winning combination, they multiply the payout value accordingly, and if more than one is included, the multipliers are added together before being applied to the payout.
Red Gingerbread House = 2x, 3x, or 4x.
Blue Gingerbread House = 5x, 10x, 15x, or 20x.
Yellow Gingerbread House = 25x, 50x, 75x, 100x, 150x, or 200x.
She's a Witch Spins
Landing 3 Gingerbread Houses of any kind anywhere on the grid in the same spin activates 5 She's a Witch Spins. The triggering Wilds, as well as any additional ones that land during the round, lock in their positions and award random multipliers from their respective ranges on every spin. Each Gingerbread House landing on the grid awards 1 extra spin.
Revolution Spins
Scoring 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the board triggers Revolution Spins. Each Scatter will reveal 3 or 4 spins, and their combined value will be the number you start with. During this round, individual spins do not pay right away, but instead accumulate all prizes in the meter above the grid. Any multipliers on activated Gingerbread Houses are also added to said meter, and, at the end of the round, the total of all collected prizes is multiplied by the achieved multiplier. Every additional Scatter scored during the round awards 1 extra spin.
A special Oven symbol is present during Revolution Spins. Once it lands, it sticks to the grid and awards an increase to the total prize in the meter or to the multiplier. It may drop only on reels 4 and 5, and it also acts as a Wild.
Possible Multipliers = 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or 100x.
Possible Added Values = 0.1x, 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or 100x the bet.
Feature Buy
Evil Dozen offers a menu with multiple options to boost base game spins or trigger features and bonuses for a set prize that scales with the active bet.
2x = Gingerbread Houses Featurespins, guaranteeing at least 1 Gingerbread House to land.
3x = Bonushunt Featurespins with a 5-times higher chance to trigger the bonus round.
100x = She's a Witch Spins with 5 initial free spins.
200x = Revolution Spins with 9-12 initial free spins.
Final Thoughts on Evil Dozen
We must give it to Kitsune, that furious gingerbread men rebelling against their creator is quite an amusing idea for an alternative Christmas slot. However, calling this production seasonal is a bit of a stretch on our side, since it doesn't bear any strong marks of targeting the holidays, but having that particular sweet treat as the main star of the show makes us lean that way. The theme is made of extreme contrasts, at first glance showing us a colourful, prosperous confectionery brimming with delicious desserts, but then hitting us with a sombre soundtrack, hinting at something dark being at play here. When you look closer at the reels, the anger and suffering of the gingerbread man become quite palpable, but when you turn to the shop's owner, all you can see is a happy, charming gal who loves her craft. It's a genuinely bizarre yet somewhat captivating narrative, which could be a spectacular setting if the creators decided to take it a bit further with extra animations, effects, and some more context around what horrors sparked this rebellion.
As for the ingredients making up Evil Dozen, they are quite reserved and they resemble the setup from Hacksaw Gaming’s Pug Life. The only help in the base game comes from Gingerbread Houses, which are Wilds with multipliers up to 200x, although more often than not, you'll play around with values from a lower range, like 2x - 10x. Still, even a couple of those arranged into a payline can be lucrative at times. The first of two bonuses has a bit of The Dog House by Pragmatic Play going on, with its sticky Wilds. However, the possible values are much higher than in the canine-themed slot, plus they are randomised between figures from the respective range on each spin. The second bonus is a bit more intriguing, mainly thanks to the Oven symbol, which, once landed, provides a boost to the total win value or the total multiplier on every spin. During our testing, it proved to be a bit stingy with the former, in most cases adding a timid 0.1x or 0.2x, but even such low increments combined with payline wins can build up. And if you apply a double-digit multiplier to it, you can usually expect a sizable win at the end. Not bad at all.
Evil Dozen comes with a peculiar theme full of contrast and a relatively straightforward gameplay based on Multiplier Wilds, albeit with an advantageous twist during one of the bonuses.
