You know the story of Santa Claus and how he comes in the middle of the night, coming down the chimney and leaving presents for all good boys and girls. Well, I reckon that he leaves his red coat and hat in the sleigh when he flies over the Land of the Long White Cloud.
He dresses up in a swimming suit and maybe grabs a pint instead of milk and cookies. That would be a good sight, eh? I would never say no to some gingerbread cookies, even when I am having some beers.
I suggest you wear your warmest clothes when you start playing the Coins of Christmas Hold & Win pokie because it can get really cold here. The reels are covered in ice. However, this does not affect the quality of the game in any way.
On the reels, you will find bells, Christmas stockings packed with presents, gingerbread cookies, lollipops, and precious gemstones. Golden and silver coins are the Bonus coins that trigger the Hold & Win feature. A snowman in a snow globe is the Wild, which is a substitute for all regular icons.
Coins of Christmas Hold & Win pokie is played on a 3×3 grid and benefits from 5 fixed paylines. Winning payouts is easy. You just need 3 matching icons on a payline. Betting goes between $0.20 and $100 per spin.
The control panel is placed beneath the reels and offers all the usual options. Apart from the Spin button and the option to adjust your bet, you have Autoplay. Here, you can set up to 100 automatic spins. The Betsoft title is of high volatility and offers a 1,000x max payout. Coins of Christmas Hold & Win RTP is 96.18%.
Coins of Christmas Hold & Win slot is not very rich in additional features. The 2024 release comes with 2 extras but, in fact, there is only the Hold & Win feature.
Once in, you will collect Bonus coins to pocket as many instant prizes as you possibly can. You will also find out that the Wild is extremely helpful here. It appears often and delivers decent wins.
The Wild is presented as a snowman stuck in a snow globe. It appears on all 3 reels and substitutes for all regular symbols. I really love the Wild in the Coins of Christmas Hold & Win because it helped me land some tasty wins. Thanks to the Wild, I got a 10x win in the base game quite often.
The golden coin is the Christmas Bonus symbol and it only appears on the central reel. Other Bonus coins appear on the other 2 reels and come with different values. When you land regular Bonus coins on the 1st and the 3rd reel, and the Christmas Bonus symbol on the central reel at the same spin, you trigger the Hold & Win feature.
Regular Bonus coins carry 1x-15x values, or Mini, Minor, or Major jackpots. Jackpots come with 25x, 50x, 150x, or 1,000x prizes, respectively. The Christmas Bonus coin in the middle reel is the collector. Each time it lands, it collects all the values from other coins from other reels.
You get 3 respins. The triggering Christmas Bonus symbol is locked in its place, turning into a Sticky Symbol, collecting values from regular Bonus symbols that land. When the values are collected, regular Bonus symbols are removed. When you land a new Christmas Bonus icon, the number of respins resets to 3.
If you have more Christmas Bonus icons on the reels at the same time, each of them will collect the values from regular Bonus symbols. In the end, all collected values finish on your balance. The feature ends when you use all your response.
The Hold & Win feature is triggered regularly. I won quite a lot. Each round got me at least 25x. My best round included a total of 9 respins, several Mini and Minor jackpots, and a total win of around 200x.
The Chests of Gold feature is a random one that gives you a chance to trigger the Hold & Win feature without having to land all 3 Scatters at once. Each time you land 1-2 Bonus Scatters, the Chest of Gold feature may be triggered. The Scatters are collected in the chest above the grid. Frankly, I never triggered the Hold & Win feature this way.
Betsoft released Coins of Christmas Hold & Win pokie for all Kiwis who want a bit of snow for their Christmas.
The holiday-themed game is simple to play and looks wonderful. As you may suppose, it is not intended for action junkies, but for players who do not want loads of complicated features in their pokies.
Personally, I think that it lacks a feature or two. Nevertheless, I had plenty of fun testing the Coins of Christmas Hold & Win slot machine.
The Wild helped me land plenty of wins, and the Hold & Win feature triggered regularly. Also, I want to congratulate Betsoft on a job well done in the graphics department.
I rate Coins of Christmas Hold & Win 7.8.
