General Description

The goal of the game consists in getting the longest possible chain of identical symbols, which appear on the special field at the beginning of each round. The symbols are various Christmas characters: Santa Claus, his reindeer Rudolph, polar bears, dwarfs and others. The payout amount depends on the chain length and characters from which it is composed.

Game Interface

In the central window of the game there is the playing field, designed for twenty-five symbols. The bottom panel has a window with the indication of the bet size and two arrows, allowing gamers to set it, the button Bet, clicking which users run the game, as well as a window with information about the current win or loss. On the right there is a window where the process of crediting the payout is shown. On the left there are two windows with jackpots and the pay table for each of the symbols.

Graphics and Sound Effects

The game has been designed in bright, but not flashy colors. Characters have been drawn with a touch of humor, which improves the mood together with cheerful sound effects.

Convenience

The game is extremely simple. The pay table has been made in a very convenient way, so it is easy to get the required information. The statistics is also available, as well as settings of the exterior and the sound. You can test the game in the demo version.

Gameplay

Choosing the bet size, you need to click on Bet. After that, at the top of the screen twenty-five symbols will appear (five rows with five symbols in each). Five or more identical horizontally or vertically (not diagonally) adjacent symbols form a chain. Then, they will react and explode. The resulting empty space is filled with symbols that are located above them and those that are falling from the top. This process can be repeated several times if the symbols will explode. If the symbols do not form a chain, the game round is over.

Several chains can be formed simultaneously.

Payouts for each exploded chain are shown in the right window.

Jackpots

The game has three types of progressive jackpots. The minimum jackpot is credited for the chain of five symbols with the image of Santa Claus. The average one is provided for six images of Santa Claus and the maximum one is given for seven icons with Santa Claus. Information about the jackpots is displayed in the upper left window.

All jackpots have initial size to which a percentage from the deduction of other bets is added. The initial amount of the minimum jackpot is 1,000 euros or pounds. The sum is 10,000 euros or pounds for the average one. The maximum jackpot starts from 100,000 euros or pounds.

It is possible to win one of the jackpots only if the bet is over one pound. Two players can not hit the jackpot simultaneously.
