Realistic Games unleashes Christmas chaos with new title Wreckmas
Reading Time: 2 minutes
It’s the most magical time of the year, but don’t expect a peaceful Christmas with the release of Realistic Games’ latest blockbuster slot, Wreckmas.
The new 5×3, feature-packed slot brings toppled trees, tangled tinsel and chaotic carols to a family Christmas, along with the chance to hit a 5,000x max win.
Among the features is the Wild Train, which sees a toy train roll in and deliver random multipliers up to 5x on reels two-to-four.
There’s the Christmas Tree Collector, where the Christmas tree collects Wilds via electric shocks, triggering the Jackpot feature at any time.
Land three vinyl scatters across reels one-to-three to trigger Free Spins, where Wilds and the Christmas tree remain active with boosted wins. By collecting music symbols throughout the game to access the Scatter Collection, where only high-pay symbols land, players have the chance to gain two extra spins and a 2x multiplier.
And the Match 3 Jackpot Feature serves up 15 presents to unwrap, each packed with Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Prizes, along with the added chance to boost your winnings.
Despite its warm, claymation-style and festive charm, Wreckmas is anything but gentle. Its high volatility and 96.14% RTP ensures that every spin carries real energy and the chance of big wins.
Amy Brewis, Head of Account Management at Realistic Games, said: “Christmas content can sometimes feel predictable, so we wanted to create something that embraces the season but delivers a fresh, chaotic twist. Wreckmas is everything we love about a Realistic Games title, including inventive features, engaging gameplay and a sense of humour. We’re thrilled to bring something bold and different to operators during one of the busiest periods of the year.”
Wreckmas follows hot on the heels of Art Heist, a 1930s-inspired crime caper slot released by Realistic Games at the end of September. It has already earned fans for its suspenseful gameplay.
It’s been a busy end of the year for Realistic Games, which has secured a host of new operator partners over the past few weeks, including QuinnBet and Bally’s Interactive in the UK and 711 in the Netherlands.
