Visually, we’ve seen better presentations of the classic Dickens story. For those who don’t know, it’s about old miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited at Christmas by the ghost of his former business partner, as well as the ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come. Spoiler alert: Scrooge turns into a kinder and more forgiving person at the end, but the same can hardly be said about this game.

The mathematical model is about as stingy as the grumpy old man it represents, and it can seriously drain your bankroll. If you like the Christmas Carol Megaways game, you can take advantage of the additional option to buy the bonus round available here (not for UK players). You can place bets between 20 pence and €100 per round. This is a better betting range than many other Megaways titles. As a – Season al title, this is pretty solid, but it will stand the test of time as well as a Christmas tree on January 1.

Christmas Story Megaways Features

The features are exactly the same as Great Rhino Megaways, except that players outside of the UK now have a bonus purchase option. First, you have to decide if you want to opt for the Ante Bet option. You will then pay 25% more per spin, but your chances of triggering the bonus round will double as more scatters are added to the reels.

The Cascading Wins feature makes winning symbols disappear from the reels and are replaced by new winning chances that fall from the top. The process repeats as long as you win.

You need 4 of Scrooge’s pocket watches scattered on the same spin to trigger the free spins here. Each additional scatter you land increases your count by 4 additional spins, and you get 4 bonus round options as follows:

• 15 spins with the progressive win multiplier starting at 1x.
• 10 spins with the progressive win multiplier starting from 5x.
• 5 spins with the progressive win multiplier starting from 10x.
• Mystery Choice – between 5 and 15 free spins and a multiplier between 1x and 10x.

You can land scatters only during the bonus round on the top reel, and you get 5 extra spins if you land 3 scatters at the same time. There is no cap on the number of spins you can get this way, and the progressive win multiplier increases by +1 for each cascading win. The multiplier is not reset when spins are lost, and there is no cap on how high it can go.

If you’re looking for a gift to give yourself this vacation – Season , check out the bonus purchase option. It will cost you 100 times your bet and this will give you at least 4 scatters on your next spin. However, as mentioned earlier, this feature is not available for UK players.

The 200 Spins Christmas Carol Megaways Experience

We decided to play with the ante bet on, and after a while we triggered the bonus round. We opted for the 10 spins and the 5x starting multiplier option and won a decent amount. However, we weren’t quite happy yet and bought the more volatile 5 spins option right after. You can see how it all played out in the edited video with the 200 spins highlights below.

Summary

As a reskin of Great Rhino Megaways, you pretty much know what to expect from Christmas Carol Megaways if you’ve played Pragmatic Play’s debut Megaways slot. The Christmas theme is beautifully designed with animated symbols, and the famous ghost story adds some depth to your spins. The 20,000x potential is still solid, and even more so since you can play with up to £100 per spin.

It’s not hard to understand why developers don’t feel the need to make something brand new every vacation – Season , as games like this are hardly played all year round. The bonus buy option (not for UK players) may attract the impatient players, but the Ante Bet feature is also aimed at people who don’t want to spend too long going back and forth between highlights.

Pros

Ante Bet doubles your chances of triggering the free spins
4 bonus round options with unlimited win multiplier
High volatility and 20,000x maximum win potential
Brand new bonus buy option

Cons
