Spinions Xmas Party

It’s that time of the year when the friendly beach-loving creatures, better known as Spinions, come out to celebrate the festive season. Created by Swedish software game developer Quickspin, Spinions Xmas Party is a much-needed follow-up to the original Spinions.

We will go as far as to say that the original Spinions is what made most players become fans of software game developer Quickspin. The original saw the friendly Spinions building sandcastles and having the time of their lives on the beach.

No longer is this game set around the sun, sean and stand. Instead, the Spinions are hitting the slots to enjoy a winter wonderland.

This game is built across 5 reels and comes with 35 pay lines. There are two notable bonus features, namely the Sticky Wild Respins and Xmas Party Free Spins.

Apart from that, there is not much to write home about when it comes to this game since it is as basic as a fruit machine. Throw in the high variance, and it could spell disaster for a player with a small bankroll looking for a fun session.

This is a highly volatile slot with an RTP of 96.05%, similar to its predecessor. The most valuable symbols in this game are the gingerbread man, the bell, the bauble, the turkey and the bottle of champagne.

Landing 5 bottles of champagne on a winning pay line earns you up to 8x your wager. The lowest paying symbols, on the other hand, are the card suits.

Spinions Sticky Wild Respins

When two or more Spinions Wilds are available anywhere on the reels, the Spinions Sticky Wilds Respins is activated. When this happens, the wilds will stay put in position for a respin. If more wilds land during the respins, this too will lock into place, and another respin is awarded.

This keeps on going until no new wild symbols land.

Verdict

We will not sugarcoat this, but the Spinions Xmas Party slot game is as basic as they come. It does not enjoy an array of in-game features, which might prove a little too boring for some players.

On the other hand, some players might enjoy it as it has a relatively easy concept to grasp. With only two bonus features available, this game paves the way for a fun yet simple gaming session.

The visuals and the soundtrack up the momentum in the lead up to the festive season. We also think that this game is better enjoyed on mobile than on desktop thanks to its impressive collection of great graphics.

On a negative note, this is a very highly volatile online slot game, with a maximum win of up to 1,876x your wager. This is still very low when compared to other online slot games.

If you love online slot games with a fun theme, this may just do it for you. You may want to try this game in free demo mode before putting your money on the line so that you can get a taste of that high variance.

Since the game enjoys a steady party atmosphere, you will be forgiven for wanting to throw your hands and arms in the air as you bob along to the soundtrack. Even with its high variance, this game brings a certain warmth akin to sitting by the fire.
