Best Xmas Slot Review

About the Game

BEST XMAS is a 3-reel, 3-row, and 5-payline slot from Endorphina. All prizes are awarded for matching combinations of symbols. Symbols must be on paylines and adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost one.

Wild

Substitutes for all symbols except GIFTS. Appears only in the main game.

Token Symbols

GIFT symbols appear only in the main game, appearing on top of other symbols. When a GIFT symbol flies off the reel, the revealed symbol can contribute to winning combinations (if available).

Lucky Time Mechanics

Above the reels are three gift bags: blue, red, and purple. Each bag attracts GIFTS of its color and can trigger the corresponding Bonus Game.

• The red bag triggers the XMAS BONUS (PICK ME) Bonus Game.
• The blue bag triggers the BEST BONUS (HOLD AND WIN) Bonus Game.
• The purple bag triggers the HOHOHO BONUS (JACKPOT COLLECTING) Bonus Game.

Only one Bonus Game can be active at a time. Activation of this mechanic is random and does not depend on the number of GIFTS previously landed.

Pick Me Bonus Game

The red bag can trigger the XMAS BONUS (PICK ME) Bonus Game. After the Bonus Game is triggered, 18 GIFTS appear on the screen. Each GIFT hides a GRAND STAR symbol or a regular prize. Regular prizes found are awarded immediately. To receive the GRAND STAR JACKPOT, you must collect 3 GRAND STAR symbols.

The GRAND STAR JACKPOT is equivalent to a win equal to 500 times the total bet. The standard PRIZE is equivalent to a win equal to 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, or 50 times the total bet. To reveal the GIFT, click on it.

You initially have 10 attempts, which are displayed on a special indicator. Each time you click on the GIFT, one attempt is used. For each GRAND STAR symbol found, one attempt is added, and the GRAND STAR symbol is counted in a special counter. The Bonus Game continues until all attempts are exhausted. All winnings are added together and paid out at the end of the Bonus Game. The Bonus Game is played with the same bet as in the original game.

Hold And Win Bonus Game

The blue bag can trigger the BEST BONUS (HOLD AND WIN) Bonus Game. During the Bonus Game, the usual reels are replaced by a 3×3 grid with a reel in each position. These reels only display special symbols (golden COINS and COLLECTOR symbols) and empty spaces.

Gold COINS can appear in columns 1 and 3. Each gold COIN indicates the prize it will award:

• ULTRA JACKPOT (wins 500 times your total bet)
• MAX JACKPOT (wins 200 times your total bet)
• MID JACKPOT (wins 50 times your total bet)
• MIN JACKPOT (wins 25 times your total bet)
• REGULAR PRIZE (wins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, or 15 times your total bet)

COLLECTOR symbols can only appear in the second column. At the start of the Bonus Game, 1 COLLECTOR symbol appears on the center reel.

COLLECTOR symbols remain fixed in their positions until the end of the Bonus Game and, after each spin, accumulate prizes from the gold COINS on the reels. If there are multiple COLLECTOR symbols on the reels, each accumulates prizes from all the gold COINS on the reels. After collecting prizes, the reels containing gold COINS and empty spaces continue to spin. You initially have three spins, which are displayed on a special indicator. Each spin uses one spin. If at least one gold COIN or COLLECTOR symbol lands, the number of spins is reset to the initial value. The Bonus Game continues until all spins are exhausted. At the end of the Bonus Game, you receive a win equal to the sum of the values ​​of all COLLECTOR symbols on the screen. The Bonus Game is played with the same bet as the original game.

Jackpot Collecting Bonus Game

The purple bag can trigger the JACKPOT COLLECTING Bonus Game.

During the Bonus Game, instead of the usual reels, a 3×3 grid appears with a reel in each position. These reels display CANDIES (labeled PURE, DIVINE, SACRED, or LEGENDARY) and empty spaces. Each CANDIE landing on the reels immediately moves to the corresponding reward counter. The reels spin until you collect enough CANDIES to receive at least one reward. Then, the reels spin again, and the Bonus Game ends.

• Accumulating 5 LEGENDARY CANDIES awards a LEGENDARY JACKPOT worth 500 total bets.
• Accumulating 5 SACRED CANDIES awards a SACRED JACKPOT worth 200 total bets.
• Accumulating 5 DIVINE CANDIES awards a DIVINE JACKPOT worth 50 total bets.
• Accumulating 5 PURE CANDIES awards a PURE JACKPOT worth 20 total bets.

If you land more CANDY than required to receive the corresponding reward, they won’t be wasted! When the first “extra” CANDY is counted, a x2 multiplier appears next to the corresponding counter. Each subsequent CANDY of this type increases the multiplier by 1. All wins are added together and paid out at the end of the Bonus Game. The Bonus Game is played with the same bet as in the original game.

Risk Game

Don’t miss your chance to multiply your winnings! Choose one of four face-down cards. If you beat the dealer’s card, your winnings are doubled, and you can bet it again (maximum 10 attempts). If the dealer wins, you lose all your winnings, and the Risk Game ends.

All face-down cards can be higher than the dealer’s card. All face-down cards can be lower than the dealer’s card. Cards can be repeated from round to round. The probability of receiving cards is unevenly distributed.

The Joker beats any card. The Joker never appears on the dealer’s card. If your card is equal to the dealer’s card, it’s a draw. Your winnings remain unchanged, and a new round begins.

If you don’t want to risk, you can opt out and take your money. To do this, click the CLAIM button.

The average return to player (RTP) for a Risk Game round is 84% ​​(if you take risks, ignoring the dealer’s card). In each individual case, the probability of winning is higher or lower depending on the dealer’s card:

• 2 — 162%, 3 — 121%, 4 — 113%, 5 — 101%,
• 6 — 100%, 7 — 100%, 8 — 100%,
• 9 — 92%, 10 — 78%, J — 69%, Q — 66%, K — 64%, A — 42%
