777SlotsBay is home to all sorts of online slot games. In the run-up to Christmas, we thought we'd put together a list of five festive slots. Have a read of this post to find some great slots themed to Christmas. Give them a spin and if you're lucky, you may bring in some wins to make you merry. Let's get started.

1 Reel Xmas by Spinomenal

The first Christmas-themed slot we're looking at is Spinomenal’s 1 Reel Xmas. What’s special about this slot is that - as its name suggests - it has a single reel with just one row. Give it a spin and only one symbol appears at a time.

So how does this slot work exactly? Every time you spin the reel, one of five symbols can land on it; a spin can also produce no symbols. The symbols are as follows:

• Present

• Gingerbread man

• Bell

• Santa

• Snow globe

To the left of the reel are three metres for the three regular symbols: that is, the present, the gingerbread man and the bell. Each metre has five segments representing cash prizes, with the smallest on the bottom and the biggest on the top.

Land regular symbols to fill in segments on the metres. The cash prizes are aded to your bank. If you land a Santa wild, each metre has the bottommost free segment filled.

At any time, you can click Collect and all segment prizes in your bank will be paid. If, however, the snow globe symbol lands, all prizes will be lost and the metres will be reset. Therefore, you have think carefully about when you’ll Collect. Leave it too late and you risk losing everything. Cash out too early and you could miss out on bigger wins.

Filling all five segments of a metre can be rewarding. Do this and whenever the symbol lands again, you’ll be awarded that symbol’s top payout. But there's a twist: this payout isn’t added to your bank; instead it’s paid straight to your balance. Therefore, you don't have to Collect it and it can't be wiped out by the snow globe symbol.

Fill all three metres and you'll be awarded the slot's jackpot. This is worth 500x your total bet.

If you're after a slot that works differently to others, play this one. It may just have one reel, but its gameplay is still compelling and it can still give decent wins.

Christmas Carol Megaways by Pragmatic Play

This highly volatile online slot is based on the classic novella A Christmas Carol. Written by Charles Dickens, it's about a misanthropic man - Ebenezer Scrooge - who gets visited by three spirits: one of Christmas Past, one of Christmas Present and one of Christmas Yet to Come. After these visits, Scrooge mellows and becomes a kinder man.

The Christmas Carol Megaways slot is one of well over a hundred slots to use Megaways. This slot mechanic was developed by Big Time Gaming and has gone on to become a major success. Most Megaways slots have up to 117,649 ways to win - Christmas Carol Megaways has more.

The slot uses a six-reel grid. On every spin, each reel can have two to seven symbols on it. Above reels 2-5 is an extra row that adds one symbol to each reel beneath. Therefore, reels 2-5 can actually have 2-8 symbols. The maximum number of ways to win you can get is 200,704. You get this whenever reels 1 and 6 have seven symbols, and the others have eight on them.

Whenever you win, a tumble takes place. All winning symbols vanish and empty spaces are filled by symbols of the same size falling down from above. This can create new wins and trigger new tumbles.

The gold pocket watch is the scatter symbol. Land three to five and you’ll get to pick a free spins round. The options are summarised below:

There’s also the option to have a random number of spins with a random multiplier awarded.

The feature you pick is yours. Will you go for fewer spins with a bigger multiplier? Or more spins but a smaller multiplier? Or will you take a chance and pick the random option?

All free spins multipliers increase by x1 whenever there's a tumble. They don't reset, so there's the potential to earn some quite large payouts. If three scatters appear during the free spins round, you're given another five spins to use. There’s no limit to how many extra spins you can earn.

Finally, there's the Ante Bet. This is an optional side bet you can place at any time. It increases your bet by 25% and doubles the chance of the free spins round being triggered.

Happiest Christmas Tree by Habanero

This jolly online slot game by Habanero is all about the Christmas tree. The setting is a snow-covered street in the run-up to the big day. Appearing on the reels are baubles and some classic children's toys. A Christmas tree makes an appearance, of course, acting as the slot’s wild symbol.

Here’s a look at what the Happiest Christmas tree slot has to offer:

• 40 paylines you can win on

• Maximum payout of 150,000

• Free spins round

• Four jackpot prizes

• Pretty good RTP of 96.77%

• High volatility

The Christmas tree wild also acts as a scatter. Land three or more and you’ll be rewarded with 15 free spins. Every time you win with a low-paying bauble, that symbol is removed from the reels. Thanks to this, you could end up with only high-paying symbols in play.

Then there’s the Prize Pot feature. All baubles that you win with in the base game are collected. Once you’ve collected three of each, the Prize Pot feature comes into play. This is a pick-me game with a dozen wreaths displayed. Each one you select reveals one of the baubles. Each type of bauble has a jackpot prize. When you've collected three matching baubles, you'll receive the corresponding jackpot prize:

• Purple: 12.5x your total bet

• Turquoise Moon: 25x your total bet

• Pink Star: 62.5x your total bet

• Golden Bell: 250x your total bet

Will you be lucky enough to scoop one of these jackpot prizes? Have a spin of the Happiest Christmas Tree slot and find out.

Festive Indulgence by Microgaming

For many of us, Christmas is a time of indulgence - especially when it comes to food and drink! Microgaming’s Festive Indulgence slot is all about that. Having said that, the slot is surprisingly straightforward in terms of its gameplay.

There are 9 paylines and assortment of Christmas-themed symbols that you’ll see on the reels. There are two bonus symbols: the present scatter and the wreath wild.

Land three to five scatters anywhere and you’ll get to play the free spins round. This gives you 15 free spins with all winnings tripled. All wins involving wilds are doubled - this applies during both the base game and the free spins round.

Below is a round-up of the slot's key stats:

• Highly volatile

• RTP of 96.10%

• Bet range is 0.09 to 90.00

• Top payout of 10,000x the bet per line amount for five wilds on a payline

The slot’s graphics are on point. Like other Christmas slots, it has a suitably merry and upbeat soundtrack that's sure to please many a player.

Christmas Tree by Yggdrasil

The final slot on our list is Christmas Tree. It’s a rather unique casino game that does a great job of marrying slot gameplay with the Christmas theme. How is this so? It’s simple: the gaming area is in the shape of none other than a Christmas tree. There are six rows: the top one has just two symbols and every row beneath has one extra symbol. You win whenever there’s a cluster of at least five identical symbols that are touching.

There’s a cascade feature that triggers after every win. All winning symbols disappear and empty spaces are filled by symbols dropping down from above. This can create new winning combinations. If you win again, another cascade takes place. There’s no limit to how many consecutive cascades you can get.

If a single spin produces three or more cascades, the Miracle feature gets triggered. When the cascades end, one of three bonuses is triggered:

• A payout worth between x5 and x1,000 your bet

• A multiplier worth x2 to x30 that’s applied to your cascade winnings

• Five free spins

The free spins round has an increasing win multiplier. This starts at x1 and increases every time you win; it doesn't reset between spins.

There are two enhancers: Snowman and Blizzard. Both can trigger at random. The Snowman one can activate at the start of any spin. If it does, a number of low- and medium-paying symbols are turned into wilds.

As for the Blizzard one, this can come into play on a non-winning cascade. Three to nine mystery symbols are added. Each one turns into the same standard symbol, or a wild. During free spins, the Snowman enhancer comes into play on every spin.

Christmas Tree is a beautifully designed slot that's a real feast for the eyes. We reckon it's a solid addition to Yggdrasil's portfolio of slots and is well worth a spin or two.
