Christmas Wins 2: Look Out for the Scatters to Trigger the Bonus Features

Be a good person and receive Santa's gifts in Red Rake Gaming's Christmas Wins 2 slot. Collect cascading symbols, all presents and snowglobes for up to 15x sticky multipliers, and a chance to trigger the free spins, where multipliers are present everywhere. 

The slot features a 5x5 configuration with unlimited ways to win, as it features cascading reels, where winning combinations disappear and are filled with new symbols. Besides, there are two types of scatters that trigger their respective bonus features, but I'll talk more about them in a bit.

During each spin, Santa will drop a gift with a random multiplier from above the grid on any random position. That gift multipliers each win from that spin and remain sticky on the reels for two additional spins. The thing is, if all three gifts have the same multiplier, then their value is multiplied by 3. I think that's the strong point of this game. Let me tell you about it. 

I think that the wins in the base game were constant, which kept my balance neutral. It wasn't anything over the top, but I got plenty of 5x to 8.85x my bet wins, besides the normal winning combinations of 0.10x, where Santa's multipliers didn't help that much. 

I once got three 9x multipliers out of the feature mentioned before, and landed one 10.80x win.

However, I couldn't trigger either free spins or the bonus game in the first 100 spins or so. During the free spins, the 2x and 3x multipliers are removed from the gift boxes, and the only multipliers present are from 4x to 15x. My session wasn't really profitable, considering I triggered it very late throughout my gameplay, getting a payout of 21.85x my bet. 

I triggered the bonus game after 200 spins or so, where Santa dropped gifts, and depending on my pick, I would receive extra tries and multipliers to amp my wins up. After winning an extra pick and a few small multipliers, I reached a total payout of 9x my bet.

Honestly, the overall wins were not at all amazing, considering the 96.5% above-average RTP. While the base game multipliers kept me in the game for some time, the bonus features came in very late, and the payouts were very small.
