Christmas 2018 is within reaching distance at the moment and so I have lined up all the best Christmas slot games out there for you.With all this Christmas cheer and songs being let loose on the radio I thought the time had come to compile the Best Christmas slot games 2018.
1. Secrets of Christmas Slot
This NetEnt slot game has been around since 2016, making this year, it’s 3rd Christmas. I remember when this Christmas themed slot first launched, it was one of the few Christmas releases that year. It was the bonus round which makes it stand out and makes it so much fun to play. In fact, it’s the best thing about the whole entire slot game.When at least 3 scatters appear on the reels within normal play you’re then swept away to a gingerbread house. In there, you’ll see the tree and presents around. Depending on how many scatters appear will determine how many presents you get to unwrap. Within those presents reveal a variety of goodies such as free spins, wilds etc.
2. Santas Wild Ride Slot
For a long time, this slot was the fan favourite until Secrets of Christmas came along. But this slot still has a lot to offer and has plenty of fans out there. The main Christmas present from Microgaming here is the 243-payline slot offers you the crazy round-the-world adventures with Santa riding his wild bike!
3. Jingle Spins Slot
This is the newest kid on the Christmas block. NetEnt have given us a new, creative and unique slot for 2018. Last year they fell short in the creativity department last year when they released nothing new.
4. Fruit Shop:Christmas Slot
This slot game appeared a few years ago along with the below slot. Both released by NetEnt, they’re re-skins of current slots. This one in particular being Fruit Shop. It’s a classic slot game with simple functionalities. It’s not the most exciting Christmas slot, so I only really play this if there’s a chunky offer from a casino.
5. Flowers: Christmas Slot
You’ll know this as NetEnts Flowers slot game. Like the above, there’s not Christmassy additions in gameplay. It’s literally the same game, it just has some snow added and the music is jingly. Another not very exciting Christmas slot, but I do have to include it.
6. Santa Paws Slot
This is a really cute Christmas slot game by Microgaming. It centres around everyones favourite antarctic friends.The slot doesn’t really stand out with its graphics and design. But like most Microgaming slots it’s about those big wins rather than the visual effects.
7. Santa Surprise Slot
This is Playtech’s first slot game appearance in my list. This is a slot game, which is full of Christmas cheer and celebration. Even the symbols are Christmassy with bells and mistletoe.
8. Deck The Halls Slot
It’s clear Microgaming took their inspiration for this Christmas slot game for the song. You know the song, it comes on the radio every christmas, “Deck the Halls with boughs of holly, tra la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, tra la la la la, la la la la”.In terms of gameplay, it’s somewhere in the middle of everything out there at the moment.
9. Holiday Season Slot
This is the first Play N Go slot game here. They’ve taken a different approach here, a very grown up one too. The general theme here is centred around parties, champagne on ice and fire works. I find gameplay to be slower compared to other games but I didn’t lose money as fast. It was slow and steady, I did manage to win in the end.
10. Ho Ho Ho Slot
This is about as Santa theme as you’re ever going to see on a slot game. It’s on the novelty side of Christmas for me, it’s more Santa’s reindeer rather than snowy landscapes.
11. Santastic Slot
This is another RTG slot game Santastic, is for those, who would love to experience this magnificent season all year round. In the background, there is a Santa’s shop, where he is busy packing the sacks of presents for the people all over the world.
12. Merry Xmas Slot
A very traditional feeling Christmas slot game by Play N GO. This is a 5-reel slot reeling in rich Christmas vibes. Think mulled wine, Christmas carols and of course Santa. Game play wise, it’s one of the better ones to play.
13. Secret Santa Slot
Microgaming’s Secret Santa has been going as long as I’ve been writing about slot games, which is many years by the way. This is one of the most famous, recognisable and most played Christmas slot there is in existence. It has everything from Christmas cheer, to fun features and more. If you didn’t feel like being in the Christmas mood before, you definitely will after playing. Because this is such an iconic Christmas slot game, most online casinos have offers for this slot game. Making it even more appealing in my eyes.
14. Naughty or Nice Slot
This is my least favourite slot game out of the lot. There’s just nothing great going on and gameplay is boring. Also the graphics are a bit risky considering its a Christmas theme slot game.
