Xmas Joker
Xmas Joker – our review at a glance
Play'N GO has profiled itself as a developer who likes to pay attention to various holidays. Previously, they have launched the Christmas slot machine Merry Xmas velvet games Happy Halloween and Easter Eggs - slot machines that all managed to capture the special with each holiday.
Now it's time for another Christmas – themed slot-Xmas Joker. We are dealing with a fairly simple yet enjoyable gaming experience, which mixes elements from classic slots with elements from more modern video Moderna slots.
It may not be the most dazzling game we've seen in terms of features or graphics, but for those looking for an uncomplicated gaming experience with decent winning opportunities, it's a great choice.
For players who crave a Christmas game with a little more features, we can recommend the above-mentioned Merry Xmas or Deck the Halls , which is developed by Microgaming.
A classic gaming experience with stacked symbols
After a while of playing, we noticed that Xmas Joker offers stacked symbols. This means that several symbols of the same type often hang together on the reels. This feature is not something that Play'N GO has chosen to explicitly promote, but it is nevertheless a welcome addition that gives a little better chances of big wins.
A symbol that is not stacked, however, is the joker symbol, a scatter that triggers 10 free spins when you get three on the reels. This feature is also relatively unusual for pure classic slots, and makes Xmas Joker feel more like a mix between classic and modern.
The wild symbols appear quite often, although sometimes there can be quite a few spins between the Joker wins. In our experience, the winnings from free spins are up to about 10 times the bet, so there is usually no question of any giant winnings. However, there is the possibility of winning up to 100 times your total bet, or at most 25,000 dollar per spin.
Christmas gifts in Xmas Joker
No Christmas without Christmas gifts, and as it should, these gifts play a central role in Xmas Joker.
When you get at least two scatter symbols in the form of Christmas gifts during free spins, you are awarded a random cash win, of between 1 and 100 times your total bet. If you get three Christmas gifts instead, another 10 free spins are triggered, and you can get a total of up to 50 Free Spins in succession. Not bad.
That said, We should still say that the winnings are relatively limited, so if you are looking for chances of Million wins, Xmas Joker may not be the game for you.

Summary
If you are looking for a new slot machine to have fun with during Christmas time, Xmas Joker is a good option. Especially if you happen to like slightly less technically advanced slot machines. With its three reels and five bet lines, this slot has a fairly classic feel, while there are a lot of features we otherwise associate with video slots. A pretty nice combo, in our opinion.
It may not be a slot machine that will revolutionize the casino world, but in return it works great for a moment of good entertainment with a chance of nice winnings. An Extra plus in the edge for the music, which sits in the middle of the DOT to create the right Christmas atmosphere, without becoming clichéd or stressful.
