Epic Holiday Party Review

Just in time for the winter festive season, the developer studio RTG comes up with the Epic Holiday Party game. Set in the world capital of entertainment, this slot meets your perception of what the best Christmas party in Las Vegas should be. Probably the most handsome Santa and four gorgeous ladies, looking like they just walked out of some fashion magazine will keep your company and bestow you some valuable gifts.

Epic Holiday Party - Slot Outlook

While most developers strive to release traditional Christmas slots with a homely and warm feel, RTG takes a completely different approach. Instead of taking players to a magical winter wonderland, Epic Holiday Party is set in Vegas. The backdrop showcases a familiar setting, behind the reels we can see the sin city drenched in the glow of numerous hotels and casinos. The reels with a golden framing, as well as the word 'Epic' in the title, hint us that it's not just a regular Christmas party, and players can hope for some action-packed and most importantly rewarding gameplay.

Epic Holiday Party Reel Screen

The actions take place across a standard 5x3 reel set with an all-ways pay system, meaning that you can score wins on 243 lines. Playable on any device, Epic Holiday Party comes with a betting range of 0.08$ to 8.80$ per spin. Even there's no info about the stats, according to our test of the game, we can assume that the RTP should be at 96%, while the variance tends to the medium side of the spectrum as wins occur fairly often. What's most impressive about the Epic Holiday Party slot is the maximum payout potential, which is capped at 50,000 times the stake.

As we head over to the paytable, we see that the pay symbols start on the lower end with classic A-9 royals. They are followed by four beautiful madames and silver fox Santa. Two Wild symbols will assist you in forming winning combos, one regular, appearing only on reels 2, 3, and 4, and the Multiplying Wild, which appears only on reel 3 and lands with a multiplier of up to 5x attached to it.

Epic Holiday Party - Bonus Features

Whenever 3 or more Scatter symbols appear simultaneously anywhere in view during the base game, the Free Spins feature is awarded. Players will proceed to the bonus game with 12 spins to start, plus claim a cash prize of 5x, 10x, or 50x of the bet for 3, 4, or 5 triggering Scatters. All low-paying symbols are removed for the duration of the bonus round. Any retrigger also awards 12 additional Free Spins.

There are 4 Upgradable Game Levels included, excluding the Base level, which players can freely choose and switch between. Depending on the chosen game level, the 4 highest premium symbols and the Multiplying Wild will change their values, as well as different Jackpots will be activated. Hence, for instance, the Santa symbol pays 0.3x of the bet for a 5-of-a-kind combo with the Base game level, while with the Level 4 activated it's worth 5.6x the stake. The trade-off is the raised total bet.

• Base level - 1x Multiplying Wild, no Jackpots available.
• Level 1 - 2x Multiplying Wild, Mini Jackpot available.
• Level 2 - 3x Multiplying Wild, Mini and Minor Jackpots available.
• Level 3 - 4x Multiplying Wild, Mini, Minor, and Major Jackpots available.
• Level 4 - 5x Multiplying Wild, Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots available.

Speaking of Jackpots, each of them can be awarded at random whenever any Wild symbols appear in view during both the base and the bonus games. All of them are progressive and seed at 50$, 250$, 1,000$, and 5,000$ respectively. A bunch of gifts on top of the reel set acts as a pot, and any Wild landing on the grid contributes to it. The mechanic is similar to the one found in Stormcraft's Break Away Lucky Wilds slot. The more symbols you collect, the higher are your chances of triggering the Jackpot. Once the Jackpot Pick Bonus is activated, players will proceed to a special selection screen, where 12 options to pick appear. Selecting an option will reveal a random Jackpot Symbol, and when 3 identical are revealed, the corresponding prize is awarded.

Epic Holiday Party - Slot Verdict

With an out of ordinary theme, Epic Holiday Party is a nice alternative to traditional winter festive slots. It's still close to common Christmas slot machines as Santa, as well as his helpers, are featured, though, it approaches the idea of winter celebrations from a different angle. Epic Holiday Party is also quite a unique case in terms of the in-game extras. Here you get classic features like Multipliers and Free Spins, but things get really hot with the Upgradable Level system and Jackpots. Moreover, it's definitely unusual for a progressive jackpot slot to boast a whopping 50,000x potential, and having a feeling that there's such a payout within reach with no need to chasing jackpots, is somewhat of a special gift for Christmas from RTG.
