Holly Jolly Penguins

Penguins are maybe lousy bowlers but they’re certainly the best Sants’s helpers you can imagine! These playful tuxedoed birds created by Fortune Factory (an exclusive Microgaming supplier) do the most exciting part of the job – they bring great Christmas presents!

Theme

The enchanted winter scenery shows the snow-white tops of the trees and sparkling lights of the Christmas decoration. Jolly well-familiar music gives a special warm touch to the overall picture. Sweet little creatures fascinate us by the funny way they waddle – all presents should be delivered on time!

Unsurprisingly:

all high-value symbols on the reels are represented by the penguins, each of them has its own special role. The Christmas tree penguin, the penguin-reindeer, the jingle bell one, the stylist who decorate the scene and the penguin – snowman. Similar to many other slots, the low-value symbols here are illustrated by the playing cards icons A, K, Q, J and 10.

Mixed wilds…

… will bring you nice payouts when you hit both of them on an active line.

In order to make this festive time of the year even greater, this game includes not one but two wild symbols. Both are represented by the beautiful glass spheres with the cheerful Carola penguin and Candy cane penguin inside. They can substitute for all other symbols except each other and the scatter icon.

Betting Options and Functions

This holly and jolly Microgaming winter dream has five reels, three rows, and forty-five fixed pay lines. The fact, that a number of lines can’t be altered is a bit unusual but on the other hand, the developers give the punters a good choice of stakes.

Quite simply:

To set your preferred wager, just choose a coin size and a number of coins you wish to bet per line. The pretty wide betting range starts with £0.50 a spin and goes up to a decent maximum bet of £125.

Features

In this amazing penguin world, the cunning Christmas gifts come in the shape of free spins and multipliers. Who brings all the glitzy perks? The Sledding penguin! It plays the role of a scatter symbol and is in charge of delivering all wailing treats.

Here are the details:

Hitting the Sledding penguins on three, four or five adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel will trigger 5, 10 or 20 free spins respectively. Scatter wins are generously multiplied by the total bet.

You can win…

… up to fantastic 80 free games on a single spin!

Landing two scatter icons on the reel 2 or on the reel 3 will multiply the number of awarded spins by 2x. Striking two scatters both on the reel 2 and the reel 3 will multiply the number of awarded spins by 4x.

Our Take

It’s always time for Christmas! Just spin the reels of this festive story, so beautifully told by the leading brand in the industry, and plunge into the dreamlike world full of wonderful surprises!
