Ghosts of Christmas Slot Review

More Details on Ghosts of Christmas Slot Game

The Ghosts of Christmas is loosely based on Charles Dickens’ novella, ‘A Christmas Carol’. This famous book celebrates many of the things we hold dear at this time of year such as family gatherings, food, drink, and boundless generosity of spirit.

 

Famous characters, such as Scrooge and Tiny Tim, have become indelibly woven into the national psyche while Dickens’ prose captured the zeitgeist of Victorian Christmases past. To protect his legacy for all time and to educate younger generations who thought the book referred to a woman with a festive double-barrelled name, Playtech took action. In 2012, the famous novella, as well as its characters, were enshrined in an online casino slot.

What Features Does Ghosts of Christmas Have?

The Ghosts of Christmas game opens up with a neat cartoon intro depicting Scrooge and the three ghosts of Christmas past. This smart intro is slightly undone by some of the reel symbols which seem a bit rough around the edges. These minor points aside, the interface is well-drawn and includes a nice animation of Scrooge.

Free Spins and Special Symbols

Jacob Marley’s ghost is the scatter and awards up to 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier. The bonus game is signified by a clock that must appear on an active pay-line at least three times before being activated. Scrooge represents the wild which substitutes for all symbols to create a winning line, apart from the bonus and scatter.

Special Bonus Features

The Ghosts of Christmas slot includes three bonus features that are randomly activated: Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. Christmas Past is set in Scrooge’s school, Christmas present is the Cratchit’s home (we think) and Christmas Future is set in a graveyard. For each feature, players pick cash prizes from school desks, gifts and gravestones respectively. The more activated bonus symbols, the more prizes can be selected.

Ghosts of Christmas Slot Free Play

Ghosts of Christmas free play games are offered by the vast majority of Playtech casinos in Canada and are a useful way of getting the hang of a casino game. The regulators also require these demo games to function in exactly the same way as the paid versions – this covers the size and frequency of pay-outs. So gamers looking to try their hand at Ghosts of Christmas no deposit games should be reassured that it plays and pays out just like the real money version.

Our Ghosts of Christmas Review Summary

The lack of a Ghosts of Christmas mobile version is rather irksome although this isn’t too surprising given the game’s 2012 release – after all, mobile casino gaming was in its infancy in those days. Graphically, the game is starting to fray around the edges. The cartoon introduction can just about hold its own after five years – an age in terms of game development. But this is let down by the reel symbols which don’t really cut the mustard in comparison to today’s Christmas casino slots.

However, a wide betting range should appeal to both low and high-rollers. The sizeable jackpot should keep things interesting too, as should the pick-me bonus features. All in all, a solid effort from Playtech, should be of absolutely no interest to non-gambling Dicken’s enthusiasts.

Pros

• Impressive top payline jackpot
• Free spins
• Huge staking options per spin

Cons

• Low RTP
• Low payouts aside from the top jackpot
