Playtech is one of the most successful online casinos in the industry. Their new slot machine game, titled ‘Ghosts of Christmas’, is an online slot machine that is Christmas themed and based around Christmas carols from history. You see, back in the 19th century, writer Charles Dickens published a novel that was titled ‘A Christmas Carol’. As you may be aware, the story was focused around a very grouchy and mean spirited man known as Ebenezer Scrooge. However, on one Christmas Eve night, Ebenezer Scrooge was visited by a ghost of Jacob Marley, as well as many ghosts from Christmases Past. The ghosts were able to completely turn around Ebenezer Scrooge’s attitude, and make them joyful and filled with Christmas spirit. The software developer behind the “Ghosts of Christmas” decided that he wanted to create an online slot machine game that could be based around a fictional novel like this one. In fact, the slot machine game even provides an introductory video that helps you get familiar with the novel and all of its animated content which has been replicated through the slot machine.
The reels that you’ll find in the game are based in Scrooge’s home, you’ll find him sitting on a cozy armchair, although it is not exactly filled with Christmas spirit yet. Scrooge also serves as the wild symbol for the game, he offers a jackpot line payout to the amount of 10,000 coins. Scrooge is also very generous with his payouts, the game starts paying out when the Scrooge symbols line up left and right. There are many other thematic symbols that are provided throughout the game. This includes the Ghost of Christmas, Tiny Tim, and several other characters from the novel. The Ghost of Marley serves as the scatter symbol for the game as well. When this is hit, scatter payouts will be awarded, as long as two or more are appearing anywhere on the reels. You will also find that the animations for the game are very Christmas spirited and joyful. You can find Scrooge kissing a gold coin, the Ghost of Christmas Present featured in a very enjoyable mood, The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is featured as the death of Christmas, implying that Mr. Scrooge is bringing down Christmas and if everyone were to be like him, Christmas would surely die off.
In case you are wondering about free spans, you will find Marley symbols scattered throughout the reel that activate your free spans. As a player, you get to choose one of the symbols and by doing so, this will reveal how many free spans can be awarded. Line and scatter payouts within free spins are going to be tripled and the free spins can be activated forever.
