Inspired Entertainment, Inc is pleased to announce the launch of its latest Christmas-themed online and mobile slot games: Big Christmas Present and Christmas Cash Spins
Santa Claus is coming to town with Big Christmas Present, a 6×4 reel, 50-win line slot game. Combining the elements of a classic slot with an innovative bonus mechanic, Big Christmas Present will have players on the edge of their seats to win big! Offering players, a fun and engaging iGaming experience, Big Christmas Present is a Christmas-themed version of Inspired’s successful hit, Big Spin Bonus
The Big Christmas Present Bonus round awards the player between one and five Big Spins, which are spins of 20x or more, via the game’s Pick Me feature, ensuring guaranteed wins during the bonus round, for all players. During the Bonus, sticky wilds build up increasing the chance of a Big Win. The player’s goal is to accumulate as many sticky wilds and wins as possible before using up all their Big Spins.
Merry Christmas Megaways brings the joy of the festive season together with the popular Megaways game mechanic for an iGaming treat! Brimming with thrilling cascading wins and vivid mystery symbols, Merry Christmas Megaways is set to be a mega hit with fans of festive slot games.
Players can enjoy the Free Spins bonus round upon activating four or more scatters. The game’s Free Spins features unlimited multipliers that increase each time a winning cascade occurs.
Combining the thrill of iGaming with the joyful spirit of the festive season is Christmas Cash Spins, a 5×3 reel, 25-win line slot game. Featuring a Lock and Spin mechanic, this Christmas-themed slot game is enhanced with wheels that combine for big prize potential.
Six or more wheel symbols in view, during the base game, will trigger the Christmas Cash Spins Bonus, which grants the player three lives to add more wheels. If the wheels form into a 2×2 or 3×3, the symbols will morph into bigger wheels with better values. Should the player fill all reels, a Mega wheel will award them a big cash prize!
Claire Osborne, Vice President of Interactive at Inspired, said: “We’re delighted to be kick-starting the festive period with a strong line-up of Christmas titles. All three games incorporate a festive theme into our best math models, with diverse mechanics in each game to engage a variety of different players. As always, we pride ourselves on being ‘the home of the seasonal game’.”
“Big Christmas Present is the perfect game for the regular bonus hit player. With its unique bonus mechanic, used previously on Big Spin Bonus, this game packs a punch. The homely Christmas backdrop of Merry Christmas Megaways displays all the colours of yuletide warmth, set to a festive soundtrack to put fans of Megaways titles in the holiday spirit. Combining colourful gingerbread symbols, a white wintery backdrop, festive jingles and sparkles aplenty, Christmas Cash Spins will delight fans of classic slot games.
