What kind of game is Christmas Catch?

This is a Megaways slot with up to 117,649 ways to win on 6 reels, with a gift collection feature added on top. On every spin and cascade, a sleigh can appear above reels 2 to 5, and reindeer collect the prizes. It’s a seasonal title from Big Time Gaming slots that really nails the holiday mood. It’s especially tempting to play during the Christmas season.

How do Gift Bonus prizes get collected?

At the end of each cascade, one or more Gift Bonus prizes appear. The reindeer load these prizes onto each sleigh, so the more sleighs that show up, the more prize money gets collected. With luck, a Golden Sleigh with an x10 multiplier appears. Prizes loaded on the Golden Sleigh grow 10x, so anticipation spikes the moment it shows up. Look for spins where several sleighs land.

How do the sleigh multipliers grow in the Christmas Eve free spins?

3 or more Golden Pudding scatters trigger 10 free spins, and each scatter beyond the third adds 2 more. The first sleigh starts at an x1 sleigh multiplier, and the multiplier rises by 1 each time another sleigh appears. This multiplier is applied to the Gift Bonus prizes, so prizes grow larger toward the end. The longer the free spins run, the better for you.

What are the win exchange and bonus buy conditions?

If a win of 25x to 100x your bet lands, you can stake the full amount to go for 10 free spins. The chance of success is shown in green on the wheel. With 100x or more, you can exchange it directly for 10 spins at 100x your bet, and the bonus buy is also 10 spins for 100x. It’s a handy option when scatters aren’t gathering in the base game.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 96.53%, volatility is very high (9.2/10), and the max win is 31,430x. Hit frequency is 38.2%, and bets range from 0.2 to 30. In the demo, it’s worth noting how rarely the Golden Sleigh appears and how high the sleigh multiplier climbs in free spins. The number of sleighs that show up has a big effect on prize size.
