Happy Cookie Review

Onlyplay are still among the freshest slot studios on the scene, and they just keep supplying us all with plenty of new releases. We’re always happy to take a closer look at them, of course, so let’s now spend a few moments with the Happy Cookie online slot that Onlyplay launched for the Christmas season of 2022. It takes place on a playing field with 3 reels, 3 rows and just 5 paylines, which makes it one of the simplest Christmas slots out there, but hey – even 3x3 slots can be fun!

The production values of Happy Cookie are slick and polished, even though the game’s theme follows your basic Christmas tropes and standards. It all looks well and plays well, so we have no issues with Happy Cookie in that regard. In fact, we’d like to praise its designers for what they managed to come up with, as it’s always quite hard to do a lot with Christmas slots!

Let’s now take a closer look at the mathematical model of Happy Cookie. Its volatility is medium-high, and the most you can win is 7,180x your bet. The game’s hit frequency is a bit low, though, clocking in at just 4.89%. The least that you can play for is then £0.10, while high rollers can play for up to £50 per spin. Finally, the theoretical RTP of Happy Cookie is 95.10%, which is on the lower side of the spectrum.

Happy Cookie Slot Features

There are 9 pay symbols in Happy Cookie, and the game itself has them divided into 4 low pays and 5 high pays. For low pays, there are pineapples, oranges, grapes and pomegranates, with these symbols paying 2x your bet for a combination. For high pays, on the other hand, you can look forward to hot chocolates, snow globes, bells, Christmas baubles and gingerbread figures. Gingerbread figures are worth the most from those, and you’ll get 50x your bet for a set!

For specials, there are just Gift Scatters, which can trigger the Hold and Win Bonus Game.

Happy Cookie Slot – Hold and Win Feature

Landing 3 Gift Scatters triggers the Hold and Win feature, which starts with 3 respins and that allows you to hit even more Gift Scatters during those respins. Each one that lands automatically resets the respins counter back to 3, so it’s not that hard to get a lot of Gift Scatters at once. You’ll want to do that, too, as each Gift Scatter is worth between 0.1x and 100x your bet.

You’ll get your wins processed as soon as you hit 9 Gift Scatters on the board, and you’ll also get a win multiplier for the payout. It starts at 1x, and it doubles every time you fill the board with symbols. After the increase happens, the board will clear, and you’ll get 3 respins to work with again. In other words, you’ll hope that things will spiral out of control this way, as that’s how you can get to the slot’s bigger payouts and perhaps even its 7,000x+ jackpot!

Review Summary

All in all, Happy Cookie is a mighty fine slot at first glance, but its mathematical model makes it a grindy experience that doesn’t feel all that suitable for a Christmas experience. We enjoy the game’s Hold and Win feature and the fact that it can bring you some serious hits, but it’s hard to recommend the entire package as a whole.
