Background
You should really know what to expect from a Christmas pokie by now, but if you’re wondering, this game features a classic North Pole background with a cutesy Nordic village in a moonlit clearing in the forest, over which the Northern Lights dance and play in the sky. The snow lies thick on the ground and on the buildings as well as one the reels, where wrapped presents represent the low value symbols, while chubby little 3D elves, reindeer and santas represent the high value symbols.The music in Christmas Cashpots is particularly bombastic and festive, while the animations are a bit more limited, but you do get symbols expanding and jiggling to celebrate wins while lights dance and pulse across the screen.
The Christmas Cashpots slot game isn’t the most adventurous in terms of its mechanics, making use of five reels and three rows, while there are ten pay lines on which you can bet your maximum of £/€/$60 per spin. The maximum payout in the main game is 200x your bet for the game’s logo scatter, but there are a lot of symbols that offer 100x your bet too, including the reindeer, elf and santa. All in all the highest potential jackpot is much bigger at 2500x your stake, though that’s only accessible through a good run in the bonus rounds. Still, the RTP sits nicely above the average at 96.5%, so it’s hard to complain about that!
Bonuses
As we’ve already mentioned, Christmas Cashpots has one major feature that all players will be hoping to hit: the cash collector game. That’s activated by landing six or more gift sacks on the reels as well as at least one Santa’s sleigh. Once you’ve achieved this you get five free spins with the sacks locked in place while the other reels spin round them. Your objective is to land as many extra sacks and sleighs as you can, and at the end the combined value of your sacks will be added together and paid out as many times as there are sleighs. As you can imagine, a screen full of sacks and a few sleighs alongside them can quickly add up to an intimidating total!
