Naughty Nik Review

This year, slot developer Wizard Games takes a slightly different approach with its Christmas-themed release, taking players to Vegas for this festive season. The Naughty Nik slot introduces another kind of Santa Claus, the bad one, spoiled with alcohol, drugs, and women. Anyway, Santa is Santa, so there are a lot of presents waiting for the players.

Loading the game takes you to a Vegas nightclub, where Santa is holding the biggest Christmas party with his little helpers. In Naughty Nik, however, you won't find elves and reindeer. Instead, there's a bunch of stip girls wearing Santa hats and red bikinis. Aside from that, nothing hints you are playing a festive-themed slot, since the rest of the decor has nothing to do with Christmas. Well, as alluded to earlier, this Santa is really a bad one.

Naughty Nik Slot - Reel Screen

Eleven regular symbols appear on the 5-reel, 4-row grid, producing 25 win lines. They start with classic A-J royals on the lower side, while the mid section comprises handcuffs, high heel shoes, whiskey bottles, and love letters. The higher symbol lot, in turn, is made up of a singer and two half-naked ladies. A girl with a lollypop is Wild, substituting for any other regular symbols in winning combinations. You need to land at least 3 matching symbols adjacently on the reels starting from the leftmost to score a payout, and five-of-a-kind wins are worth from 1x to 20x the bet. Wilds have the highest value though, paying 40x the bet for combinations of five symbols.

The bets vary from €0.25 to €7.5 per spin, so there are hardly any options for high-rollers. The Naughty Nik slot is powered by a medium-high volatile math model and comes in three different RTP settings. The highest one is 96.02%, and the other options are 93.95% and 88.01%, which are below average. This also affects the max win - the lowest payback version can bring you wins only up to 16.456x the stake, while versions with higher RTP values offer nearly twice bigger payouts. For RTPs 93.95% and 96.02%, the maximum achievable win is 32,652x and 32,512x respectively. Meanwhile, the hit rate is identical for all three editions, clocking in at 31.40%, meaning that wins should occur fairly often.

Naughty Nik Slot Features

This game's Santa loves money more than others, and he acts as the Collect symbol here. When Naughty Nik appears on the reels along with cash symbols, it collects all visible cash values. In case there are multiple Naughty Nik symbols, the prizes are collected separately for each collect symbol. The prizes of cash symbols range from 1x to 1,000x the total bet.

When 6 or more cash symbols appear simultaneously in view, they trigger the Naughty Nik Respins feature. If 6+ cash symbols land on the reels with at least one collect symbol, the cash values are collected first, and then the bonus begins. Five respins are awarded, and players proceed to special reels where only cash symbols and blanks can appear. Each cash symbol turns sticky during the bonus, staying in a position for the remainder of the feature.

Naughty Nik Slot - Respins Bonus

During the Naughty Nik Respins, a Wheel of Fortune spins along with the main reels. It can randomly award +1 Respin or a Double Up to multiply all visible cash symbols by 2x. The respins feature continues until there are no respins left or the entire reels are filled with cash symbols. At the end of the bonus, all cash values are summed up and paid to the player.

Those willing to jump straight into the action can opt for the Buy Feature to trigger the Naughty Nik Respins immediately for the cost of 80x the total stake. However, keep in mind that the RTP is slightly reduced during the Buy Bonus.

Review Summary

Slot studios come up with new Christmas releases every year, and they all offer more or less similar festive vibes. Naughty Nik by Wizard Games sticks out from the range with its unorthodox take on the theme. More importantly, it has action-packed gameplay and is capable of delivering powerful payouts. There's much to get excited about, and players will surely appreciate how Naughty Nik combines popular Hold and Win mechanics with Bonus Wheel.
