Microgaming’s new Scrooge video slot is anything but stingy (video)

Scrooge is a new video slot from Microgaming that is based on the famous Charles Dickens story The Christmas Carol.

Ebenezer Scrooge is the star of the story – he’s a stingy, penny-pinching old man who hated Christmas and who wasn’t very good at sharing until he was visited by a group of ghosts who showed him the true meaning of the holiday. At the end of the tale, Scrooge becomes very generous, and gives his money away freely – just like this great new slot!

The graphics have an old retro feel to them, taking players back to the era when the original story took place. On the reels, things like bags of money, cast iron safes, and ledger books share space with characters like Scrooge, Tiny Tim, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. There are actually 12 regular symbols in this game, offering quite 36 different winning combinations.

The game is overflowing with special features too. One of them lets players click on winning symbols to receive either add one free spin to the Free Spin counter, or to add one day to a Christmas Countdown Calendar. When the calendar reaches December 25, the number of free spins accumulated in the Free Spin counter is awarded. All prizes are doubled during free spins.

The Festive Feast and Christmas Dinner bonus feature offers even more ways to win. This feature is unlocked when three or more brass Scrooge door knocker symbols appear scattered across the reels. Players are presented with five meals and five guests – each meal has a different prize attached. After giving one meal to each guest, players watch to see who finishes their meal first, and to win that meal’s prize.

This game has been released just in time for the holidays. Visit or join a Microgaming casino today to get in the Christmas spirit with Scrooge!
