Scrooge Slots Review

Scrooge is the type of online slot we like and it should appeal to any players who are keen on guaranteed bonus features.  Based on the Charles Dickens novel, Scrooge tells the story of a Victorian miser who learns the error of his ways following ghostly visits from the past. present and future.

Featuring five reels and an impressive fifty paylines, Microgaming’s Scrooge is a beautifully designed game with some great graphics; a silhouette of Victorian London can be seen above the reels and two streetlights stand on either side.

All the symbols are recognisable from the novel and include the aforementioned ghosts of Christmas pasts, present and future, Tiny Tim, the animated door knocker and Scrooge himself.  We also have a set of keys, a clock, a locked ledger, a pile of cash and a safe.   The door knocker is the scatter symbol and the wild is a wreath of silver coins.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is the guaranteed feature we mentioned above and if you look above the reels you will see a calendar on the left and a free spins counter on the right; every time you land a winning combination you get to select a symbol which will then advance the calendar one day or add one free spin.

When the calendar reaches the 25th, the feature starts with the number of spins you have collected. The spins now play out and then the calendar will reset to the 1st and the spins to 3.

Xmas Dinner Bonus

Landing three, four or five of the golden door knocker scatter symbols will activate this game; you will be shown five of the game’s characters and five meals with multipliers attached.  Your task is to drag a meal to each character.

The game will now randomly select one of your combinations and your total wager will be subject to that multiplier.  Up to 10,000 coins are available here.

Scrooge Online Slot Playing Tips

You’ll always win something when playing Scrooge (hopefully more than you spend) because of the guaranteed feature so you might want to risk increasing your bets a little bet.  The fewer lines you play, the longer it will take to trigger the free spins.

Verdict

There’s very little not to like about this game – it has two features (one guaranteed), some Christmassy music and some great graphics.  It’s well worth a go.
