Piles of Presents Slot Review

Piles of Presents Slot Overview

Piles of Presents is a new casino slot from Just For The Win where we are treated to a cozy setting, just by a fireplace and a gorgeous Christmas tree. Time sure flies. It felt like yesterday when we cracked open a cold one by the beach, feeling the breeze touch our faces and our bodies getting sunburnt. Oh well, we Swedes don’t have to worry about buying sunscreen anymore. Sunrises have been replaced with cold, dark mornings, and comforting breezes have been replaced with biting winds. But hey, Christmas is upon us, which brings a warm feeling to an otherwise chilly period. With Christmas comes an abundance of Christmas-themed slots, and we won’t miss out on any of them. Let’s see what Just For The Win has to offer!

Piles of Presents is a video slot from Just For The Win with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines. Players can choose between a Min.bet of 0.20 and a Max.bet of 50. Santa’s little helpers provide us with an above-average RTP of 96.17%. Piles of Presents is played at high volatility and offers a max win of 5000x the bet.

Santa is a generous man. In this game, his gifts come in the form of features. The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Christmas Tokens, Christmas Wheel, and Free Spins.

Piles of Presents Slot Information

The game takes place by a fireplace with Christmas stockings hanging in front of it. On the right side of the reels, a majestic, decorated Christmas tree stands, creating an inviting atmosphere where you want to stay for a long time. It makes you think of the good times you’ll have with your loved ones, so Just for the Win has created a very successful setting. As a cherry on top, a joyful Christmas tune complements the gorgeous visuals.

You can play this game on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, within the game’s lines, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols are made up of the classic royal symbols: J, Q, K, and A. Five-of-a-kind with one of these will pay 2.5x-4x the bet. The higher-paying symbols resemble characters and objects you’d expect to see in Disney movies, including Drums, Trains, Nutcracker dolls, and Teddy bears. A full line of 5 with one of these will pay 5x-20x the bet. A classic Wild symbol is also present, substituting for all other paying symbols. Holly berries can trigger the Christmas Wheel, and Santa himself acts as the Scatter symbol. Let’s take a look at the features!

Piles of Presents Slot Conclusion

There’s a plethora of Christmas slots being released now, so the competition is super high. There are some great ones coming out, but some are super generic. It’s almost like providers feel forced to produce at least one Christmas-themed slot, and don't seem to put a whole lot of effort into it. We don’t expect to see blockbuster Christmas games, but we value a nice atmosphere highly, such as Gold Coin Studios managed to provide with Fiona’s Christmas Fortune. JFTW has created something similar with this game, where the features and gameplay are decent, but the design and setting make it a very enjoyable experience.

We do really like the Free Spins feature, though. Picking games are always fun. It engages the player and adds spice to the slot. It does, however, seem tough to create some serious potential. You need to upgrade several symbols in order to set yourself up for success. Thankfully, the Free Spins feature seems to trigger relatively often, and on top of that, you have an additional feature in the Christmas Wheel.

Piles of Presents by Just for the Win provides players with a cozy Christmas experience and a couple of exciting features!
