A Christmas Carol is a slot game by Betsoft, and the theme connected to it is going to be pretty obvious when you just look at the name. However, don’t think that this game should only be played at a certain time of the year, then think again as this can prove to be a whole lot of fun no matter the season.
Overview of A Christmas Carol
This game comes with 5 reels and a total of 25 different paylines. The theme is based around the Charles Dickens novel and you are sent into the bedroom belonging to Scrooge who sits there and watches as the game progresses. The symbols that appear on the reels are clearly going to be surrounding the story, so aside from the playing card symbols, it also includes Christmas presents, Scrooge’s Bank, a gold ball, and coins.
How to Play A Christmas Carol
Playing this game is straightforward. As always, you need to select the coin size and that involves you changing the value by clicking on the plus or minus symbol. Next, choose the bet per line to also alter that value, and in the process of doing so, you will see the total bet value change accordingly. When you are happy with the values, and how much the spin is going to cost, then hit the spin and see what happens with the reels. Also, if you want to skip this and place the maximum bet, then there’s a button to do that as well.
Bonus Features for A Christmas Carol
The game does come with various bonus features. In this instance, the turkey symbol acts as the wild where it changes other symbols for itself, aside from the ghosts, so you have more chances of winning as a result. However, the main bonus features surround the appearance of the 3 ghosts that are closely linked to this entire story.
Land 3 or more Christmas present symbols, and you will see all ghosts on the reels turning into wilds. Land 3 or more and you will win some free spins. The more symbols you land, then the higher the number of free spins that you win. Also, the same wins apply when you land Christmas future.
Betting and Payouts for A Christmas Carol
In this instance, the coin range is from 0.02 to 1, which is pretty standard for this type of slot. However, it’s the payouts where there are multiple values and if you land on 5 Scrooge symbols then you stand to win the top prize of 1000 credits. Clearly, the values decrease after him, and the lowest value is the J which pays 5 coins for landing 3 of them.
A Christmas Carol is certainly a nice theme for a slot game, and the introduction of the different ghosts means that it stays very close to the original tale. The game is slick, the graphics are what you come to expect from Betsoft, and overall this is a cool game. The only downside is the relatively low payouts that can happen quite regularly but they aren’t as bad as they may seem.
