Jingle Wins Review

Bursting onto the scene with a Christmas debut release might not be the easiest way to stardom in the online slot world. Wizard Games is giving it a go nonetheless, and Jingle Wins is a decent enough contribution to the ever-growing seasonal pile. The defining feature is the wild-transforming Santa Surprise, and it can make a dent in all stages of the game.

Visually, you get a typical Xmas decorated room with colorful, animated Christmas lights, as well as the warm light from an open fireplace and candles. You should beware that there are 3 different RTP versions of this game, and the RTP setting also affects the max win potential somewhat. The bonus round is the big highlight, not least if you manage to trigger it in a way that gives you a guaranteed Santa Surprise trigger per spin.

Jingle Wins Slot Features

The pay symbols are worth between 2 and 5 x your stake for 5-oak wins, and the smiling Santa is the top payer. In addition, you have the gift-wrapped presents Wild symbol, and it steps in for all regular pay symbols without holding any value of its own. The wilds can land on reels 2 to 5 only, and they play a central part in the game’s 2 main features.

Landing at least 2 Wilds anywhere triggers the Santa Surprise feature, and this highlights the area between the 2+ wilds that landed. The symbols in the highlighted area all turn wild, and this is called the ‘Wild Boxing’ feature. The win calculation is then summed up, and the feature can more easily be triggered in the bonus round.

You trigger the Bonus Round when you land 1 free spins symbol on the first reel, as well as at least 1 bonus symbol on reels 2 to 5 (the bonus symbols also act as wilds). This awards 7 free spins no matter what, and the feature cannot be retriggered. You’re guaranteed the same number of wilds per free spin as triggering bonus symbols, and this might help trigger the Santa Surprise feature.

Non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the bonus buy feature. You have 4 options, and they all provide 10 free spins directly without any triggering spin. You can thus pay 100, 175, 350 or 900 x your stake, respectively, to get 1, 2, 3 or 4 guaranteed randomly placed wilds per free spin. This triggers the Santa Surprise feature on every spin as long as you go for the 2-4 wilds options.

You get to see a minute or so of the base game, before we had enough of the grind and simply purchased the top-tier bonus round. It comes with decent to solid wins on almost every spin, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

It’s hard to judge what a new studio is capable of when the only release so far is their Xmas contribution, but overall Wizard Games has managed to create a cozy and idyllic ‘Christmas card’ visual presentation in Jingle Wins. It’s lacking in real personality and depth though, but we don’t really expect all that much from seasonal releases that are played a few days to a week per year.

The Santa’s Surprise feature can be quite effective in the base game as well in the bonus round, awarding payouts up to 150x from a single spin. There are 3 RPT versions of this game, and they also come with slightly different potentials hovering above 1,000x your stake. The bonus round is far more fun when you have 3 to 4 guaranteed wilds per spin, but these tiers are, as you may expect, hard to trigger organically.

Pros

• Santa Surprise Wild feature
• FS w/ at least 1 guaranteed wild
• Win up to 1,339x your stake

Cons

• 3 RTP versions w/ slightly different potentials
• Bonus Buy options not available for UK players
