Players can jingle their way to jackpot joy in Christmas MegapotsTM from Big Time Gaming.

Step into the snow-dusted world of Christmas MegapotsTM where every spin is brimming with holiday cheer and jackpot potential.

This festive slot brings Big Time Gaming’s legendary Megapots mechanic to life with seasonal sparkle, giving players the chance to unwrap Mini, Midi or Mega Jackpots with each spin.

But there’s more… When six or more Gold Coins land anywhere on the reels the dazzling Hold & Spin feature bursts into life.

Players get an initial three Re-spins, with each symbol transforming into a mini reel of wonder, revealing shimmering Coins that carry Cash Prizes, Multipliers or those glorious Megapot icons.

Keep your sleigh in motion as every time one or more new Coins appears, Respins reset to three, keeping the Christmas cheer alive and twinkling.

When the Respins fizzle out, it’s time for the Prize Reveal – the total Coin value is Multiplied by all revealed Multipliers – ho, ho, ho indeed.

But the real joy comes during the Hold & Spin feature when you collect three matching MegapotsTM icons to score one of the jackpots. Better yet, if every reel glitters with a Coin symbol, the entire bonus is doubled.

Looking for more stocking fillers? You get them with the Free Spins bonus.

The reels jingle with joy when three or more Golden Bells chime, unlocking 12 Free Spins with two Extra Spins for every Scatter beyond the third.

Once the Free Spins get underway, the excitement snowballs as the win Multiplier starts at 1x and climbs higher with each Coin that lands.

If the Hold & Spin feature doesn’t trigger, each Coin remains frozen in place like a snowflake, building anticipation for what the next spin might unwrap.

Feel the festive cheer soar when three or more Golden Bells jingle again during the Free Spins as they award four additional Free Games plus two more for every extra Scatter that lands.

Want to head straight for the turkey? Tap the Bonus Buy icon to trigger the Hold and Spin bonus for just 35x the bet or unleash 12 merry and bright Free Spins for 100x the bet.

Nik, Robinson at Big Time Gaming, said: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year and with Christmas MegapotsTM, players can get into the festive spirit and get the chance to unwrap truly epic wins.”

“MegapotsTM is one of our most popular mechanics of 2025 but we wanted to add some extra cheer by putting at the centre of this year’s festive slot from BTG.” 

“Throw in the Hold and Spin feature, Multipliers, Free Spins and Bonus Buy and you have a speaking seasonal slot that captures the magic of Christmas with massive potential rewards.”

October marks the pinnacle of global iGaming activity, according to new data from market intelligence ecosystem Blask.

The survey, which draws upon data from 107 countries tracked by Blask, found that October was the industry’s biggest month in 37 different markets, including Italy, Mexico and the Philippines.

The peak in activity is credited to the football season, which is in full swing during the month including two Champions League rounds, the latter stages of the Copa Libertadores, international fixtures and the usual domestic fixtures.

December came in second place, topping the ranking in 22 markets – including France, South Korea and Denmark – buoyed by the holiday season and a busy schedule in the Premier League.

Sixteen markets, including Spain, Nigeria and Malaysia, recorded September as their markets’ busiest month, driven by enthusiasm at the start of the new football season.

Max Tesla, co-founder and CEO of Blask, said: “Seasonality has always influenced player behaviour, but seeing it mapped across more than a hundred markets gives the industry a much clearer picture of how demand ebbs and flows. October’s dominance shows just how central football is to global engagement. This kind of insight helps operators plan smarter, time their campaigns better and ultimately understand their customers in a more meaningful way.”

The ranking comes from Blask’s new Seasonality widget in Blask Index Trends, which aggregates monthly market activity and visualizes daily and hourly “heat maps.” The data covers the period from early 2024 to today.

As the theme goes, “When the wild decides to give, surprises are guaranteed,” and this promotion is no exception.”

This Christmas, the bushveld is buzzing and the animals are embarking on a grand gift exchange, but with their own wild flair. From a lion gifting mirrors, to a penguin with a cool pair of shades, each creature’s idea of the perfect present is as unique as they are. This celebration is a charming tale of connection, kindness, and the joyful chaos that ensues when the wild decides to give.

To make the festivities more exciting, Springbok Casino is giving every player a gift to kickstart their own fun: 25 Free Spins on the popular game, Hot Pots Master!

“We wanted to capture the magic and sometimes hilarious misunderstanding of gift-giving, but with a true South African spirit,” said Daniel Van Wyke, Springbok Casino Manager. “The Great Wild Gift Exchange is a light-hearted story that reflects our community, and the 25 Free Spins are our way of saying thank you to our players and inviting them to join the party.”

Unwrapping the Weekly Tales

The story unfolds over five weeks, with a new chapter of festive fun and a reminder of the 25 Free Spins offer.

• Week 1: The Lion’s Mirror
  The proud lion believes he has found the most valuable gift of all: a mirror showing the “king of the jungle.” This tale explores the surprise of receiving a gift meant for oneself, teaching a lesson in self-reflection.
• Week 2: The Penguin’s Shades
  A penguin, having visited distant shores, returns with stylish sunglasses for his sun-drenched friends. This humorous story highlights how the most thoughtful gifts can sometimes be the most impractical, yet are given with pure love.
• Week 3: The Elephant’s Feather
  The mighty elephant carefully presents a delicate, beautiful feather to his friend. This chapter celebrates the beauty of a gift that is light as air but carries the weight of true friendship and consideration.
• Week 4: The Meerkat’s Mystery Box
  The ever-inquisitive meerkat doesn’t give a gift, but an experience—a mysterious, unmarked box that causes both tension and excitement, proving that anticipation can be the greatest present of all.
• Week 5: The Great Wild Gift Party
  All the animals come together to exchange their wildly mismatched presents. In the resulting chaos of mismatched gifts, they discover that the real gift was the laughter and connection they shared all along.
