How Christmas Carol Megaways works

Players familiar with Megaways slot games will recognise the format here. There are six main reels, with between two and seven rows each which fall at random, and the play screen is topped with an extra side-scrolling reel to throw some extra symbols into the mix. Winning symbols tumble from the reels, prompting a chain reaction that can build more wins.

In Christmas Carol Megaways, the setting is a Victorian street on a dark and snowy night, with lamplight softly glowing. The familiar tale is told on the reels, which are filled with the characters you’ll know from the novel: Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchitt, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come, and of course, Ebeneezer Scrooge. The latter is a wild symbol, appearing only in the top reel. Finally, there is a pocket watch scatter for the bonus trigger.

Free Spins Bonus

Though the cascading reels ensure that the base game is action packed, the real potential of any Megaways slot comes with the bonus round - and Christmas Carol Megaways is no exception. Free spins are triggered when landing four or more pocket watch symbols. Players are then given a choice of bonus rounds to play, as follows:

• 15 free spins; 1x multiplier

• 10 free spins; 5x multiplier

• 5 free spins; 10x multiplier

• Mystery: random number of spins and starting multiplier

During free spins, a progressive multiplier with no upper limit rises by one with every winning spin or cascade. Players can grab four additional spins with every extra base game scatter, and another five free spins when landing three scatters during the round. 

Bonus Boost

Some operators offer the chance to boost the bet by 25%, in return for double the chance of triggering the feature. This is offered at the casino’s discretion, so check before you play.

Game details

Like other titles in the Megaways family, Christmas Carol is a very volatile game. However, it has an extremely comfortable return of 96.48% overall, coupled with a maximum win of 20,000x the stake. Bets start at 0.20, capped at 100.00 (or 125.00 where Bonus Boost is on). The 6x8 slot boasts an impressive 200,704 maximum Megaways when fully expanded.

Players looking for a little festive fun will enjoy this literature based twist on the popular game engine, and the addition of bigger reels, more betways and a huge top prize are sure to pull in plenty of fans. The detail is as good as you would expect from Pragmatic, with beautiful graphics, animated characters and a strong storyline: perfect for Christmas, or any time of year!
