Jingle Jingle Slot
Online casino developer, Booming Games, have been producing some interesting games from their Isle of Man base for a while now. The developer has an interesting and unique range of High Def and 3D graphics titles that have begun working their way onto desktop and mobile platforms.
At first glance, the simple Jingle Jingle video slot doesn't quite appear on the same level as other Booming Games slots like Galactic Speedway and the Norse mythology-themed Masters of the Sky. But perhaps we're being too unfair. After all, the Christmas online slot market is hardly awash with award-winning games. Is it time to check this new player out? Well, if the festive-themed slot, Jingle Jingle, is anything to go by, the answer may be a big yes.
Enjoy Typical Booming Games Gameplay
The Jingle Jingle online slot will surely put you in the mood for some real cash action this Christmas. And if it doesn't, put that down to the irritating Jingle Bells ditty that plays relentlessly in the background as you spin.
Jingle Jingle is powered by HTML5, perfect for gameplay in your web browser. The game also appears to be well mobile-optimized for gamblers. The game works as a standard 5-reel slot played over 3 rows. There are 30 paylines to gamble on, and coins start from just 0.01. However, a max bet of 300.00 per spin is enough for the high rollers to stay awake.
A quick scan above the reels reveals some handy icons to adjust your gameplay. You can (mercifully) turn off the sound and opt for FX only, while the Lightning symbol lets you spin even faster. That's very handy if you want to work off a welcome bonus with Booming Games slots.
Play the Perma 2-Way Pay for Added Wins
The unique feature of the free Jingle Jingle slots game is the Perma 2-Way Pay. This is always active. It's a fancy way of saying that the slot pays right-to-left as well left-to-right. Only the highest win either way will win. In effect, it's a similar to the Win Both Ways slot feature, which you will find on many online games.
On the reels, we have lots of symbols associated with Christmas. All the symbols seem to have been given a bit of a Manga makeover. We get lots of doe-eyed children looking very happy that Santa has delivered his presents. The Christmas tree lights and snowflakes are the low limit payers. The lights dish out 2-10x the line bet for three of a kind to five of a kind, while the snowflake pays 3x-12x.
The tree bauble is next with a range of 4-20x payouts. Then comes the gold star (5-50x), Christmas present (10-75x), and children. These cute kiddies pay from 15-100x for the lowest payer to 2-120x and 3-150x. The top two children symbols pay out for just two matching symbols on the reels.
Trigger Free Spins with a Gamble Feature
Jingle Jingle has a nice real cash bonus to aim for. It's a standard Free Spins bonus game that is activated by landing three or more Jingle Jingle scatter symbols anywhere. Players will also win 150x to 1500x their line bet for hitting 3, 4 or 5 scatters.
You will win 10 free games to begin with but all wins are trebled. Rather neatly, you can retrigger the free spins indefinitely. Here's the neat twist, though: before the free spins start, you can 'gamble' and go for a double win on your cash.
Watch out for the wild symbols too. Active paylines containing wilds will be tripled, unless a combination contains only wilds. The wild is Santa himself. He pays 5x if you hit two wilds and 200x if you land five wilds on a win line.
Go Festive and Hunt out Christmas Slots
When the festive period comes around, the developers love to pump out the Christmas-themed online slots. But if you're in the seasonal mood and want something to get your teeth into (if you haven't sunk them into a mince pie already), check out Microgaming's Deck the Halls slot.
It's a colourful slot that features five reels, some beautiful graphics, and a decent range of betting. Like Jingle Jingle, the game is played with 30 paylines. A free spins bonus can be triggered too, with 10 free games up for grabs. The difference here is that there is a potential jackpot worth 2,400,000 coins.
Escape the Christmas Shopping and Have a Spin
If you are looking for some good new online slots to play, and want some festive fun, Jingle Jingle could be for you. It's certainly cute to look at and the bonus structure is decent. In many ways it's similar to Novomatic's Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe slot, an old-school favourite from the casinos that also has chances for regular wins.
