Overview

Christmas slots (Christmas Slots) are slots decorated with year-end themes such as Santa Claus, Rudolph, gift boxes, snowy villages, and Christmas trees. They are a typical example of seasonal slots, which come out at a particular time of year.

Many Christmas slots are not brand-new games but seasonal versions of games that were already popular, dressed up for winter. That’s why so many familiar names have “Christmas,” “Xmas,” or “Santa” in the title.

What seasonal versions share with the original

Seasonal versions often change only the art and music and keep the original’s rules and math. Comparing Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza with its Christmas version shows this clearly.

Not every seasonal version uses the same numbers as the original. Quickspin’s Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special lists an RTP of 97.34%, which differs from Big Bad Wolf Megaways (96.05%) in the same series. When choosing a seasonal version, it’s a good idea to check the RTP and max win for each game.
