Jingle Bells Bonanza Slot Review

Bells And Frames

Bells appear only on the middle three reels and are used for the Frame and Wild features. Additionally, each Bell increases the Cash Drop Progress by one.

When a Bell lands on the reels it will activate a Frame. New Bell symbols that land below a Frame will instead increase a Multiplier on that Frame with +1 per Bell. When a Scatter symbol lands, all Frame symbols that are present turn into Wild symbols or Wild symbols with Multipliers. The Multipliers apply to all win lines in which the Wild participates. If several Multipliers apply to the same line they will be added up.

Wild

Wild symbols appear from the interaction between Frames and Scatters. Wilds substitute for all paying symbols and count as the symbol which forms the highest winning combination on a single win line.

Cash Drop

2 Scatter symbols on the first and last reel trigger the Cash Drop bonus. Enter with 3 Cash Drop spins and land any Cash Drop symbol before the counter runs out to continue the bonus. Initially the Scatter symbols turn into Cash Drop symbols with a cash prize of 3x the bet.

Following this, the reels will start spinning with only Cash Drop symbols in them, with each spin reducing the Cash Drop counter by one. When new Cash Drop symbols land on the reels they will lock and reset the counter to the initial amount.

The bonus ends either when the counter reaches zero and no new Cash Drop symbols landed or when the screen is filled with Cash Drop symbols.

Cash Drop Symbol

Appears only during the Cash Drop bonus rounds. Each symbol reveals a random cash prize of either x1, x2, x3, x5, x10, x20, x50 or x100 times the bet when it lands and stays locked in its position for the duration of the bonus.

Cash Drop Progress

Increased by the Christmas Bell symbols, this feature upgrades the next Cash Drop that will be triggered with 4 progress milestones. Each milestone awards 1 of the 4 Progress Prizes at random. The same prize cannot be revealed twice when 2 or more milestones are awarded.

15 Christmas Bell symbols are required to fill 1 progress milestone, with a maximum of 60 progress positions required to fill for all 4 prizes to be won in a single Cash Drop bonus.

The Big Cash Drop requires 15 Christmas Bell symbols, the Super Cash Drop requires 30 Christmas Bell symbols, the Mega Cash Drop requires 45 Christmas Bell symbols, and the Ultimate Cash Drop requires 60 Christmas Bell symbols.

Filling the whole progress instantly turns all Frames into Wild symbols and enters the Ultimate Cash Drop bonus.

When the Cash Drop is triggered the progress resets. The 4 possible Progress Prizes are as follows: Mystery, Multiplier, Expand and Spin.

All Cash Drop symbol prizes are awarded when the bonus ends.

Progress Prize Multiplier
