Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Jingle Bells is a video slot from Red Tiger Gaming featuring 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines. The game offers a Min.bet of 0.1, a Max.bet of 500, and a max win of 800x the bet. It has an RTP of 96.28%, a hit frequency of 20.36%, and high volatility, which means that about every fifth spin is a winner.
Jingle Bells goes all in when it comes to Christmas coziness, looking like a colorful Christmas postcard. The snow white reels sit in front of a window in a house. In the background to the left is a fire and two candles burning, and to the right is a part of a Christmas tree. The reels are standing on a red carpet with a golden pattern. You make wins by landing 3 or more matching symbols on a payline from left to right, starting on the first reel to the left, and you can expect the game to run smoothly on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop devices.
The lower-paying symbols in Jingle Bells are 10, J, Q, K, and A, which pay between 1x and 4x the bet for five of a kind. The higher-paying symbols are lollipop, sock, Christmas decoration, star, and bells, which can reward between 5x and 16x the bet for five in a row. There’s also a Wild Symbols, depicted by a present, which substitute for all regular paying symbols to help form the highest possible winning combination.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Jingle Bells?
You can win up to 800x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Jingle Bells?
The features are Santa’s Big Bonus, Free Spins, Raining Wilds, Winning Reels, Mega Wild, and Christmas Tree.
Santa’s Big Bonus
The Bonus symbol is a scatter that may land on any reel. When 3 or more Santa’s Bonus symbols appear, the Santa’s Big Bonus feature activates. You’ll pick from a selection of gifts, each containing between 1 and 6 steps along a path. The round continues until you pick a Collect Symbol, which ends the bonus and awards the prize where Santa stops. If Santa steps on a house connected by a red ribbon, he immediately jumps to the other end of the ribbon, offering quicker access to the higher prizes.
Free Spins
Landing 3 or more Free Spins scatters triggers the Free Spins Bonus round. Before the round starts, you pick one of three gift bags to see how many spins you’ll start with. You’ll get between 10 and 20 spins, and each extra scatter above the initial 3 adds 10 more spins.
Raining Wilds
Santa can randomly drop Wild Symbols on the reels in the Raining Wilds feature. He can drop up to 8 Wilds during the base game and between 3 and 7 during the Free Spins.
Winning Reels
When Santa feels generous, he’ll upgrade the reels to only contain high-paying symbols for the next spin.
Mega Wild
Santa sometimes wants to raise the excitement a bit by bringing out a massive 3x3 Mega Wild Symbol that covers more than half the grid.
Christmas Tree
The Christmas Tree feature multiplies your win in the current spin by anywhere between 3x and 20x. The multiplier resets after being used.
Final Thoughts on Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells is one of those slots that perfectly captures the joyful chaos of Christmas without the stress of wrapping presents or overcooking the turkey. The game is not only packed with charm and color but also plenty of surprises, like a stocking filled to the brim with candy and mystery boxes. The features are plenty and well-balanced, with two different types of bonus games. You can either set out on the board game-looking Santa’s Big Bonus feature and stop between cash prizes, or prepare for a spin bonanza in the Free Spins. When we thought we had discovered everything, Santa turned up on the reels with Raining Wild Symbols and a multiplier that can reach 20x.
The game blends classic slot mechanics with more modern ones, while nailing the festive theme better than most holiday releases. The max win of 800x the bet sounds very low compared to slots released these days, but it’s actually solid considering that the game was developed in 2016. The RTP of 96.28% is also solid, a tiny bit above the average for a casino slot.
For other Santa-featured games, we can highly recommend TrueLab’s scatter pays slot Gates of Santa, or Hacksaw Gaming’s cartoonish Le Santa.
