The reels feature only five pay lines that run left to right horizontally across three rows and diagonally from the top and bottom positions on the first reel.
The Jingle Bells Ride online slot reels are set on a snowy background and are bordered with colourful Christmas décor and lights. Christmas tunes play in the background as the reels spin both themed symbols and appropriately designed playing card icons. There are eleven different symbols that include the ten to ace playing card symbols that are the lower valued symbols. The regular paying themed symbols include Santa Claus, a gingerbread man, a penguin and a reindeer. These are higher valued symbols that pay out up to 750 coins.
How to Play Jingle Bells Ride
The Jingle Bells Ride online slot control panel is situated below the reels. This is where the desired number of pay lines may be activated and the betting limit may be set. The pay line bet value may be set at denominations from 0.01 to 1.00. The max bet button can be clicked on to activate all of the five pay lines with the maximum bet limit.
The spin button spins the reels manually but an auto play feature is available to pre-set up to 2 000 spins to spin automatically. The gamble button accesses the Jingle Bell Ride online slot NZ betting gamble feature after a winning spin. The winning amount may be gambled in the hopes of doubling or quadrupling it. To do so simply guess the correct colour or playing card suit of a face down card. Wrong guesses will however mean the winning amount will be lost.
The Jingle Bells Ride Wild Symbol
The Jingle Bells Ride wild symbol is represented by the small green elf. The elf acts as a replacement for all regular symbols and helps to form winning combinations where it can. The bonus symbol combinations are the only ones that do not allow a wild to help complete them.
The small green elf is also the highest valued symbol found on the reels. He needs to land two, three, four or five times on an active pay line with the highest bet in play to win 25 coins, 250 coins, 2 500 coins or the jackpot prize of 9 000 coins respectively.
The Skyrocket Stars Bonus Feature
The Jingle Bells Ride online slot bonus feature is called the Skyrocket Stars bonus and is triggered by landing a minimum of three bonus symbols. These are represented by the gift filled Christmas stockings. When the bonus game is triggered five fireworks are displayed. The aim is to select one which will take off and explode to reveal the random bonus win amount.
The bonus symbols also act as scatter symbols where they pay out for appearing in any position across the five reels. Three, four or five of the bonus Christmas stocking symbols will pay out 5x, 20x or 500x the total bet.
