9 Gifts of Christmas

Get that festive feeling with 9 Gifts of Christmas, the online slot from Aurum Signature Studios. Christmas may be all about the joy of giving, but there's nothing to say that you can't enjoy a chance of receiving too. Line up the maximum combination and you could collect up to a potential x2000.

Aurum Signature Studios may not be a familiar name, even to regular players but they provide exclusive content to Games Global. 9 Gifts of Christmas isn’t their first seasonal slot, as they’ve also released Book of Mrs Claus, another feel-good Christmas-themed game.

The gameplay is set on a 5x3 grid which includes 20 traditional paylines. Betting starts from 0.20 total per spin and can be increased to 60.00 maximum. Volatility is medium, which means that there should be a regular stream of average-size prizes with the larger payouts much harder to land. This type of betting range and volatility will suit casual and social players rather than those seriously hunting down big-money paydays.

A traditional Christmas is full of snow-covered landscapes and fir trees, and the studio has obliged. With a snowy white backdrop and a sky that glows as only a winter sky can, there's a chill in the air but a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

There's none of the usual playing card royals on this slot, as the symbols are a jumble of Christmas icons and more traditional betting imagery. This includes bells, Lucky 7s, BARs, chocolate coins and holly. The betting symbols are all given a festive facelift, with delicate snowflakes added as decoration. 

There's a wild on the reels, too, represented by the golden Christmas star. This can stand in for any of the regular symbols to make more matches.

Everyone loves a Christmas gift, and in this game even more so because it's the scatter. Land three or more of the scatters simultaneously, and you'll unlock the Epic Strike feature. The more scatters you land, the higher your payout will be, with up to a potential x2000 for landing a full set of nine scatters.

Father Christmas puts in an appearance on the reels as the bonus symbol. The big guy in red only lands on reels 2, 3 and 4, so if you land three at once, you'll be rewarded with a turn on the free spins wheel.

There are ten wedges on the free spins wheel, and each one is made up of two sections. The outer rim displays the number of free spins, which range from 10-30. The inner ring is the multiplier which will apply to any wins that land during free spins; this can be either x2 or x3.

If the Epic Strike feature triggers during the free spins round, the multiplier will not apply.

9 Gifts of Christmas from Aurum Signature Studios is a festive slot which brings all of the familiar sights. There's nothing particularly original, and the payouts are average, but who can resist a well-executed seasonal slot machine?!
