One of the first Christmas themed slot game to launch this season is Jungle Spin from NetEnt. It can be played at several online that NetEnt powers like Royal Vegas.

The 5x3 reels set with 20 fixed paylines is set in Santa’s workshop. A quirky Santa sits on the right of the reels randomly firing baubles at the elves above each reel. The elves drop the baubles in wild gift boxes adding to the Christmas cheer. The background music is festive Noel. The high paying symbols are stylised Christmas tree decorations that include bauble, reindeer and fir cone. The bauble awards the highest line payout of 1000 coins for five symbols on a payline. The low paying symbols are playing card icons designed like hanging Christmas decorations. The gift box is the wild symbol. It substitutes for other symbols but does not award line payouts. However, it can get energised if a bauble falls into it.

As the reels spin, so does a wheel behind Santa. If it stops with a bauble in the hole, the bauble is fired and collected by the elf on the fifth reel. The baubles so collected move one reel to the left with each spin. If a wild gift box symbol appears below a reel with a bauble, then the bauble drops into the box and works its magic. Otherwise the baubles exit from the first reel. There are different types of baubles in the Jingle Spin NetEnt slot game. The red bauble is a spreading wild. It will substitute for the highest possible winning combination on a payline. The green baubles activate the number of free spins imprinted on them. These can vary from 7 to 50. The yellow baubles award a bonus of the number of coins imprinted on them. The bonus varies from 50 to 2500 coins. The multi-coloured bauble is a surprise bauble. It can randomly award one of the other features.

Jingle Spin adds to NetEnt’s blockbusting seasonal slots portfolio, which includes Secrets of Christmas, Fruit Shop Christmas Edition and Flowers Christmas Edition. Bryan Upton, NetEnt Director of Game Products, says, “Players love to play our themed games throughout the year – they are always popular around important calendar events as well as a good time afterwards – who doesn’t want that Christmas feeling in June?” He added that Jingle Spin captures the magic of Christmas and with people getting in the holiday spirit, is a fun addition to the other festive titles.
