Jolly’s Gifts Delivers A Few Surprises
Christmas themed games always run the risk of coming across as bland or as a cash grab since the market usually gets flooded with themed titles all trying to compete in the crowded holiday market place.
Every once in a while though developers dare to do something that while familiar to fans, still manages to break the traditional molds. Jolly’s Gifts is a perfect example of that principle. While this NextGen slot retains a clear Christmas look, it doesn’t feature Santa Clause or any overused Christmas music.
The main character is a blonde girl called Jolly and the reel icons are made up of her Christmas presents which include a toy train, a little wind up drummer along with colourful playing card symbols.
Players will also see a baby reindeer appear on the reels, a ginger bread man and Jolly herself. She acts as a wild icon and also a paying icon. While she will substitute for all standard in-game symbols, she will also offer payouts ranging between 20 and 750 coins.
A Range Of Rewards
There are also a range of bonus features included in this slot that delivers great rewards throughout your session. These are Jolly’s Mystery Gifts, the Free Spins feature and the Wild Re-spins feature. Jolly’s Mystery Gifts is a random feature that comes into play when you see stacked presents appear on the reels. At the end of any spin that features stacked presents they will reveal matched symbols along the entire stack, potentially leading to big payoffs.
The Free Spins feature is triggered by the incredibly cute scatter symbol which features a cat in an oversized Christmas cap. This scatter will only show up on reels 1, 3 and 5 but when 3 are onscreen at the same time you will get to enjoy 12 free spins with the stacked gift boxes from the standard game becoming stacked wild symbols instead.
Best of all is the fact that more free spins can be retriggered as long as you can get another three scatters on the reels. The stacked wilds here will not count as scatter icons. Finally we have the Wild Respins feature which adds even more value to your spins. The Respins trigger randomly, giving you one free spin with reels 1, 3 and 5 becoming completely wild during the spin. Jolly’s Gifts is available from all NextGen casinos and is well worth a few spins.
