Jingle Bells Power Reels Review

Last Update: 15.08.2021. Author: SlotCatalog.

Visually, Jingle Bells Power Reels has been vastly improved since the first game. The warm and cozy living room looks as inviting as can be, and it should be capable of instilling some nostalgic Christmas spirit into even the most cynical gambler hearts out there. Speaking of, the math model does come with some of the usual Red Tiger quirks, but payouts large enough to secure a happy Holidays season can surely be handed out in this game.

The bonus round mirrors the base game features in this Power Reels version, and the pick’em bonus game has been stripped away altogether. The random base game features will help keep you going, and we found that the bonus round can be quite lucrative and generous here. All in all, this makes for a highly entertaining seasonal title, and a game that might actually be well-worth considering any time of the year.

Jingle Bells Power Reels Features

All the base game features are handed out by Santa himself in this game, as he tiptoes across the screen to not wake up the sleeping family in the household. You can expect one of the following randomly triggered Santa’s Gifts features to come about every 30 to 50 spins on average:

• Mega Wild - Santa pushes a massive 5x6 wild symbol onto the reels for a guaranteed win.
• Christmas Tree multiplier - Santa shakes the christmas tree which adds a random multiplier to your next win.
• Raining wilds - Santa throws gift-wrapped presents into the air, and these rain down as a random number of wilds on the reels.
• Winning Reels - Santa pulls a golden curtain over the reels, and this means that only higher value premium symbols will land on the following spin.

The Bonus Round is triggered when you land at least 3 free spins symbols on the same spin. Between 8 and 20 free spins can be granted here depending on how many scatters you land, and you will benefit from all the random Santa’s Gifts features a lot more often during the bonus round. The most lucrative feature is the Christmas Tree multiplier, and you can only get 1 feature at the time also here.

The 200 Spins Jingle Bells Power Reels Experience

We had a pretty good time with this Christmas-themed title in our 200 spins test session. If you’re curious to how the Santa features play out, we got plenty of them both in the base game and not least during the bonus round. You can check it all out in the highlights video below, where only the juicy parts survived our editing process.

Review Summary

It might be a bit early to get fully into the Christmas spirit at the time we write this review, but as a seasonal game this is quite solid stuff from Red Tiger. The massive 8x6 reel set looks impressive in the Christmas-decorated living room, and it’s quite entertaining to see Santa tiptoe around to hand out random features.

What’s even better is the fact that these features can be quite effective in delivering decent base game payouts. Santa gets even more generous in the bonus round, of course, where you can expect plenty of different gifts no matter how you might have behaved this year. The above 6,000x potential is solid enough for a highly volatile game, but you get the usual below 96 % Red Tiger returns (with RTP ranges to boot), and a measly max bet of only £10 per spin.

Pros

• 4 random base game Santa features (1 in every 30-50 spins)
• Bonus round where these features trigger far more frequently
• High volatility and 6,544x max win potential

Cons

• Below average RTP (and customizable RTP ranges)
• Max bet is only £10 per spin
