But will your bank balance be bulging more than Santa’s sack? Here’s a review of Happy Holiday from SGS Universal with everything you need to know.
Get Festive
It’s hard not to feel cheery when Christmas rolls around and with Happy Holiday, SGS Universal really have hit upon a feel-good game.
There’s everything anyone could want to make it the perfect Yuletide and it’s a great game to get you ready for the season of goodwill.
In the background there’s the night sky lit by twinkling stars which reflect upon the ice white snow which lies thick and deep on the ground. Atop of the reels lie a couple of perky sprigs of holly with just a dusting of snow cover the framework too.
On the reels themselves there’s all the symbols of Christmas that you could hope for including a Christmas tree, gifts, reindeer, bells, snowman, Christmas cards and of course, an ice-skating polar bear…
The big man in the red coat doesn’t put in an appearance but that’s understandable because this is a pretty busy time of year for him.
See What’s in the Stocking
Before you start playing, set aside some time to check out the paytable to see what goodies Santa has set aside for you to win in this game.
This is away from the main reels and you’ll need to click on the paytable button on the bottom of the screen.
The paytable shows you all of the prizes which you could scoop if you are lucky on the reels, and just what you have to do to win. The paytable is interactive so will show you the prizes based on your current level of betting. If you want to know what you could win by betting more or less, exit back out of the paytable, change your bet and then re-enter. You’ll be faced with a vastly different set of prizes and this could help make up your mind how much to bet!
The reindeer is the top prize and if you opt for a max bet, you could walk away with a win of 25,000 if you match five on an active payline.
But you won’t need to match all five symbols in order to claim a prize; all of the symbols pay out varying amounts for matching just three.
Wait for Santa to Arrive
Once you’ve finished poking around under the tree to get a sneak preview of your presents, it’s time to return to the main game to try your luck.
Before you start playing you’ll need to set the level that you want to bet, as mentioned above.
There’s a maximum of 9 paylines available on the 5 reels, but it’s up to you how many you decide to play with. If you want to maximise your chances of winning you might decide to keep all nine in play, but if you want to bet low, you can reduce the paylines that are active. You can change the number of paylines at any time using the buttons onscreen.
You can’t alter the number of coins that play per line; the maximum is just one. However, you can adapt the value from the minimum of 0.01 to the limit of 5.00. This is the amount of bet per active payline and must be multiplied by the number of lines you’ve chosen to play with. This figure is displayed on the screen so you won’t have to calculate it in your head thankfully!
As well as trying to match the regular symbols, there’s some extras to look out for.
The wild symbol can substitute for nearly all of the other symbols on the board and can help to create winning combinations. Take a look at the paytable to see which symbols are excluded from the wild match.
The scatter symbol unlocks a hidden bonus game if you spin three or more, a great way to win more prizes.
Joyous Noel
Happy Holiday by SGS Universal is an online video slot which is guaranteed to leave you feeling great. There’s some good prizes on offer and although it’s not packed with features, there’s plenty to keep you interested and during the festive season what else could you possibly want to play?
