Happy Holidays

It's Christmas in July – and all year round with Happy Holidays, a delightful online slot machine video game from the hard-working elves at Microgaming. From building a snowman to sitting on Santa's lap, all your favorite holiday memories will warm you up as this game delivers hot wins.

There are five reels and three rows, with a total of 243 pay lines in the normal game. In the free spins round, there are 1,024 pay lines – more on this later.

The minimum bet is .30 credits and the maximum is 30 credits per spin. Icons include a Christmas tree surrounded by holidaymakers, children building a snowman, a juicy roasted turkey with all the trimmings, two kids on a toboggan, toddlers enjoying their presents, and a gingerbread house. Each symbol is animated in its own way.

The Happy Holidays logo is the wild card, and can substitute for anything you need to make a win. The Christmas ball icon is the scatter. When at least three of them show up on the reels, you'll trigger the free spins round.

Free spins are played on a new set of reels that include an entire extra row, which is how you get the 1,024 pay lines. Randomly appearing will be the snowman. He'll transform into any icon needed to make a win, or make an existing win bigger.

In addition, there is the Frosty Feature. This is triggered at random after a losing spin, when a cold wind blows across the reels, “freezing” most of the symbols in ice. But the symbols hat remain warm reveal cash prizes – all of which are yours.
