Christmas Tree

We all know that the iGaming industry is a fertile ground for innovation and originality in every possible way, and providers who possess these qualities are sure to be rewarded by loyal players.

Although it does not have the most original name in the world of video slots, Christmas Tree is another pretty unique title in TrueLab's portfolio.

Packed with Wilds, scatters, Free Spins, Mystery Symbols, Cascading Reels, multipliers, and the Cluster Pays mechanic, this release comes with the Christmas tree-shaped grid, high volatility and pretty good RTP percentage - 96.4%. 

Thanks to the HTML5 technology, punters will be able to experience all the magic of Christmas even on their mobile devices.

Theme and Symbols

It’s quite obvious, right? As Christmas approaches, it is logical to expect more and more products inspired by the holiday season, and Christmas Tree is just one such release. 

The grid is set against a perfect winter landscape where you will see a snow-covered village, snow white, and many decorations. TrueLab Games software developer did a pretty good job with animations, so you will enjoy the constant snowfall and the reactions of the implemented characters.

As far as symbols are concerned, you can expect 6 Christmas tree decorations, where the highest paying one offers up to 1.500x the bet for a cluster made of 27 symbols. 

On the other side, Santa and little angle are the premiums - land 27 of these and you can win up to 15.000x the bet. 

Finally, the snow globe is Wild, while the question mark is in the service of the Mystery Symbol.

Betting Options and Other Functions

The uniqueness of the Christmas Tree is reflected primarily in the fact that it does not have a standard grid with reels, rows, and paylines but a Christmas tree-shaped grid with Cluster Pays mechanic, where in order to score, you’ll need to land at least 5 identical symbols in a cluster. 

The cheapest strike will cost 0.40 coins while the most expensive one can cost up to 40 coins. It’s a highly volatile game that comes with a superb payout potential - you can win up to 25.000x the bet here. 

The RTP is also at a satisfying level - 96.4% is quite good for current industry standards.

Special Features

First of all, you’ll benefit from Wilds. These will replace all regular symbols (except Mystery Symbols) and increase your chances of scoring big. 

Thanks to the Cascading Reels feature, winning symbols will be removed from the grid and new ones will fall on their places. Cascades continue until there’s no more winning clusters. 

After 3 successful cascades, one of the following feature will be triggered: 

• Bonus Wheel that awards instant cash wins between 5x and 1000x the bet; 
• Multiplier Wheel - spin it and multiply your winnings up to x30;
• Bonus Round - adds 5 spins free of charge and the Snowman will transform all low-paying symbols into Wilds;

Finally, there’s the Blizzard feature as well. Occasionally, it will add between 3 and 9 Mystery Symbols to the grid which will transform into regular symbols or Wilds. 

Conclusion

Since the holiday euphoria began, we have tested/played many great Christmas-themed video slots, but we have to admit that none of them have left a positive impression on us as a Christmas Tree.

It simply has it all - excellent payout potential (up to 25.000x the bet), pretty original grid layout paired with the Cluster Pays mechanic and cascading reels, and loads of different features.
