Instead of presenting a bleak, cold Christmas Eve, Pragmatic Play decided not to follow the novella completely, starting on a positive note. The reels are set on a lovely background, with snow falling and lit lanterns. It is a perfect picture of winter holidays.
The soundtrack is amazing and it lifts your spirits as you play the pokie. Everybody is smiling here. Well, almost everybody. Ebenezer and the Ghost of Yet to Come are the grim ones, as usual. Truth be told, I do not care much about the two of them, as long as they pay well.
You will find all the important characters among the symbols that populate the reels. Only the spirit of Jackob Marley is missing. He is probably haunting somebody and did not have time to come. Anyway, the three spirits are leading regular symbols. Bob Cratchit and his son, Tiny Tim, are also there.
Old Ebenezer represents Wild and substitutes for all regular symbols. The pocket watch is Scatter that triggers free spins. Simple playing cards act as low-value icons.
Christmas Carol Megaways features 6 reels. There is also an additional reel placed horizontally, adding symbols to the 4 central reels. Up to 7 cells can appear on a single reel (up to 8 on the 4 central reels). Thanks to the Megaways mechanics, players can benefit from up to 200,704 ways to win.
When matching symbols appear on at least three successive reels, you win a payout. The Spirit of Yet to Come is the only symbol that pays even for 2 of a kind. This is a high-variance pokie with an RTP of 96.58%. Betting ranges between $0.20 and $125 per spin. The maximum payout is 20,000x the bet.

I love holiday-themed games with plenty of action, which is the case with the Christmas Carol Megaways slot. The Megaways game engine is paired with the Tumble feature, allowing you to create multiple wins on a single spin.
The Free Spins feature offers several options, letting you pick a number of free spins and a starting win multiplier. You also have the Ante Bet feature and the Buy Free Spins option.
Each time you land a winning combo, contributing symbols explode and new icons land in the vacant positions. This feature continues until no more winning combinations are formed. It is present both in the base game and free spins.
With 4+ Scatters on the reels, you can get up to 23 free spins and a starting win multiplier of up to 10x. Depending on the number of triggering Scatters, you will get 4 options. If you choose the bigger multiplier, you get fewer free spins, and vice versa.
The only option that can bring you both the maximum multiplier and the maximum number of free spins is the Mystery option. However, it rarely combines big multipliers with a lot of free games. Every winning spin increases the win multiplier by 1x without limits.
I love this feature because it surprised me with a mouth-watering payout several times. Nevertheless, remember that it takes time to trigger free spins.
The Ante Bet feature allows you to double your chances of triggering free spins. However, it will raise your bet by 25% if you decide to activate it. Truth be told, I do not know what to think about Ante Bet. Sometimes it brings me luck, and sometimes it sucks my balance dry.
This feature triggers free spins instantaneously for a price of 100x the bet. You get the initial trigger of 4 Scatters and, in almost every case, you win less than you invest. I do not recommend this option.
Pokie machines themed after Christmas are usually fun, and Christmas Carol Megaways is no exception.
I love the visuals, I love the soundtrack, and I love all the features Pragmatic Play incorporated in the 2020 release.
Well, most of the features. I do not like the option to buy free spins, while the Ante Bet feature sometimes makes me happy, and sometimes makes me mad, so I don’t know what to think about it.
I am a huge fan of the Megaways mechanic, especially when it is combined with tumbles and increasing win multipliers that do not reset after a non-winning spin.
Although it takes time to trigger free spins, they always come with rewarding payouts. At least, that was the case with me.
Because of all of that, I rate Christmas Carol Megaways 8.3.

Buy feature not worth itTakes time to trigger freebiesPredrag is a huge fan of pokie machines, especially the ones packed with extras. He considers his job a fun way to spend his days and sometimes feels guilty for getting paid just for having fun. Pokies have become his passion and he is always prepared to explore and review new titles.
With almost a decade of experience in reviewing video slots, Predrag has always tried to provide users with honest reviews based on facts. His favourite pokie developer is Big Time Gaming, and his number one pokie machine is White Rabbit.
Also, he never says no to a good epic fantasy story. That’s why he also loves Play’n GO and its Rise of Olympus. When he wants to party, he always goes for NetEnt’s Guns N’ Roses. Betsoft’s The Slotfather pokie is a perfect choice when he is looking for a good crime story.
