Contrary to those who might claim otherwise, online slots with a seasonal slant can in fact be played at any time of the year and therefore you should make room on your calendar for Jolly’s Gifts, this Christmas-themed releases from Side City Studios.

Jolly’s Gifts is a five reel slot with four rows and forty fixed paylines; those dappled blue reels spin within a delicate golden frame against a backdrop of swirling, geometric snowflakes.

The four higher value symbols are all gifts and include a reindeer, a toy soldier, a gingerbread man, a gift box and a train; lower values are represented by playing card symbols in various colours.

Jolly (the blonde girl) is wild and will replace all other symbols to form winning combos except the kitten scatter icon.

Bonus Features

Jolly’s Mystery Gifts

The gift  boxes always appear stacked on the reels and any landing will transform into one of the standard symbols when the spin stops, hopefully helping out with a win.

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three of the kitten scatter symbols anywhere on reels one, three and five and the initial award is twelve free spins. During this round all the stacked gift boxes will become wild, which is nice. It’s also possible to trigger more spins by landing three more kittens.

Jolly’s Wild Respins

This may occur on any spin without a scatter win and you will receive a free respin with reels three, four or five completely wild; you’ll then get another free spins and the wild reel will move left, adding up to three floating wilds to the reels in addition. This continues until the wild reel reaches the left hand side.

Verdict

Jolly’s Gifts is a colourful, action-packed slot with several clever features and some really nice graphics and animations; it comes with an RTP of 95.71% and remember – you don’t need to wait until Christmas to try it out.
