The theme of the slot is of course Christmas, but Pragmatic have delved into this genre a little further and based the game on the famous novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This presents us will larger than life characters and a setting that takes us back in time to 1900s London England. All of this is beautifully presented to us with sharp and crystal clear graphics from the team at Pragmatic Play.
Upon viewing the paytable, we see that the lower paying symbols on the slot are represented by the classic royals 10 through to the ace, where wins of up to 1.5x can be achieved through them. The high value symbols are Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present and Ghost of Christmas Future, where a 6 of a kind win will pay 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 5x and 50x respectively. Keep an eye out for Ebenezer Scrooge, he will act as the wild symbol throughout the game.
Getting into the festivities on Christmas Carol Megaways™ can take place for as little €0.20 a spin and reach up to a maximum of €125 a play. You are given the option to double the chance to win the feature, which is actioned by toggling the bar across to the left hand side of the reels. This will cost you an additional 25% on top of your current stake. Finally is the bonus buy option, if you want to get straight into he free spin action it will cost you 100x your current bet.
A significant in-game mechanic that features in countless Megaways™ slots, is the cascading reels / tumbling reels effect. Through this clever and entertaining mechanic, players get the chance to win several times on just one spin of the reels. But how does it work?
When a winning combination is made on the reels, those symbols that are a part of that win will be removed and any symbols that are above them will drop down to fill the spaces that have been left. This in turn will then create additional spaces on the reels that will need to be filled. New symbols will then drop down from above to do this, and the whole process will then create the possibility of more wins being formed.
These series of cascades can continue as long as new wins are being formed on the reels. Once you reach the point where no new winning combos are formed, the cascades will end and a new spin will need to be initiated for the game to continue.
You can trigger the free spins on Christmas Carol Megaways™ by 4 or more of the scatter symbols landing anywhere in view. The next part of the process in this bonus feature allows you to select your starting spins and win multiplier value, so if you can trigger the bonus with more than 4 scatters, it will increase the amount of spins that you can select to begin with.
As pictured above, from the basic 4 scatter trigger you can select one of the 4 following options.
For each additional scatter that you trigger the bonus with, 4 more spins will be added to each option, with a maximum of 23 spins being up for grabs.
Once you have selected how you will begin the feature, the free spin bonus will initiate. The key aim is to hit as many winning combinations of symbols as possible. For every successful winning reaction that you complete, it will cause the win multiplier to increase by an additional x1, with there being no limit as to what this can reach.
Extra free spins may be awarded through a re-trigger. This is achieved by landing 3 scatter symbols in view which will add 5 more spins to your current total, with there again being no maximum limit that these can reach.
Eagle eyed Megaways™ players may notice that Christmas Carol Megaways™ is just a clone of Pragmatic Play's Great Rhino Megaways™, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth playing. We thought this was a great addition to not only the Pragmatic portfolio, but the Christmas niche of slots that is surprising lacking somewhat in the Megaways department.
As is often the case with this style of self selection feature slot, the real potential of the game is unlocked if you choose the mystery option and are awarded the highest amount of spins, with the highest possible multiplier. Although this can be a rare sight indeed, it's often the case that you will hit a substantial win if you are indeed lucky enough to trigger it.
