Top 10 Christmas slots (Part I)

Less than 5 days to go till Christmas Eve and Christmas day is upon us. JackpotFinder is celebrating by counting down the top ten Christmas online slot machines.

While devoted Christians and even many secularists are preparing to celebrate the birthday of Jesus, for many modern people, Saint Nicholas (a.k.a. Santa Claus, Kris Kringle, or Father Christmas) and Rudolph his red-nosed reindeer are the celebrities of the day. 

Regardless who readers feel the true hero of Christmas ought to be, JackpotFinder is here to tell reader’s which Christmas themed casino slots online are most enjoyable to play throughout Advent and the twelve days of Christmas.

#10. Jingle Bells slot is a 3-reel, 5-payline slot machine from Microgaming. For those who like traditions, a holiday themed slot can’t get any more traditional than this classic slot game. The Jingle Bell is wild. Holly symbols also add to the Christmas feel of this game.

Players can wager between $0.25 and $25. When three Jingle Bells appear on Payline 5, the player receives the top payout of 6,000 coins. Play Jingle Bells at our recommended All Jackpots Casino.

#9. Santa Paws is another adorable Christmas-themed 5-reel, 20-payline slot game from Microgaming. In this game, Christmas is mixed with a variety of cute cartoon animals, such as snow owls, seals, and tree-climbing rabbits. Curiously, in this game, Rudolph is a killer whale, though he still has the traditional antlers and red nose. The penguin is the scatter symbol. The Santa Paws symbol, which looks like a polar bear, is the wild symbol.

This game includes a gamble feature: by picking a playing card, players can double or quadruple any of their winnings. Players can wager from $0.01 to $100 per spin towards a possible jackpot of $140,000 (won with free spins and multipliers). Santa Paws is available to play at Go Wild Casino.

#8. Return of Rudolph is RTG's second side-splitting sequel to Rudolph’s Revenge, returning to the 5-reel, 50-payline format. The battle between Santa and Rudolph continues. Rudolph is still wild. Symbols include irritated Reindeer, a miserable elf, and broken gifts. The two-reindeer Thug symbol is a scatter symbol; with three or four of these, the player can choose which bonus game to play.

In addition to Rudolph’s Revenge and Santa Strikes Back, there is a new Rudolph’s Rampage: By uncovering elves in this feature, the player gets free games and additional gifts. Five thugs trigger the game’s progressive jackpot. Players can wager from $0.50 to $250 per spin. Except the progressive jackpot (which resets to $2,500), the top award is 50,000 times the bet per line. Play Return of Rudolph slot at our recommended Aladdins Gold Casino (US Players accepted).

#7. Gift Rap is an idiosyncratic 5-reel, 25-payline Christmas slot from Microgaming software. The theme mixes traditional Christmas with modern rap music. Symbols include Elves, Monkeys, and Teddy Bears. The Christmas Bauble is the wild symbol. The imitation snow spray can is the scatter symbol which can increase winnings up to 80 times. Rap fans will find that the singing elves really steal the show.

This game contains a “pick a box” bonus game, where players chose from a collection of gift boxes to discover their prize. Players can wager between $0.01 and $125 per spin towards a maximum payout of $30,000 (plus another $16,125 in the bonus game). Play Gift Rap at another recommended All Slots Casino.

#6. Santa Strikes Back is RealTime Gaming’s follow-up to their celebrated Rudolph’s Revenge video slot game. Santa Strikes Back is a 5-reel, 25-payline game offering a macabre humour to the Christmas season. Symbols include Santa with a sword, a pig-tied Rudolph, a Thawing Gnome, and a poisoned gift. Both the Victorious Rudolph and the Victorious Santa symbols are scatter symbols, which can multiply winnings by up to 100 or 500 times respectively. Five identical scatter symbols will trigger one of two bonus games, respectively Rudolph’s Revenge! Or Santa Strike’s Back!

Players can wager between $0.01 and $125 per spin towards a top payout of $62,500 for 5 Victorious Santa symbols with a 500 multiplier. The game also has its own progressive jackpot which pays out with 5 Santa symbols. Play Santa Strikes Back at High Noon Casino (US Players accepted).
