Ho Ho Ho

Christmas-themed video slots are fun any time of year. If you're a fan of dreaming of sugarplums and gathering around the chimney, then you'll love Ho Ho Ho, one of several of Microgaming's Christmas-themed games in their portfolio.

The foundations of this game are pretty standard, with a grid of five reels and three rows with 15 pay lines. This is one of those Microgaming slots where the pay line indicators do not show the pay line number, but instead how many coins you have bet on the pay line. There is a 95.88% return to player ratio and a 15,000 coin maximum win, with a minimum bet of .01 and a maximum bet of .50 – letting you play this game for a good long time while you're waiting for Santa to come!

Low paying icons include a candy cane, a gingerbread man, egg nog and cookies, a frosted fruitcake, and a Christmas turkey; high paying icons include a fully decorated Christmas tree, a sleigh, and everyone's favorite reindeer, Rudolph.

Santa is wild and can substitute for anything you need to make a win except the scatter, and pays out the game's maximum of 15,000 coins for five on the reels.

A beautiful present is the scatter icon. You'll be rewarded with 20 free spins – where all your winnings are doubled – for three, four, or five on the reels. Free spins can be triggered, too.

After every win, you can gamble your most recent winnings. Pick the color of the dealer's card to double your money, or pick the suit to win four times as much. Either way, it's a fun way to let it ride and take a chance to earn a little extra money for presents!
