Frosted rooftops, glowing street lamps and a fir tree hung with baubles create the scene. Three bulging present sacks, red then green then purple, hang over the reels. Each sack carries a label, Prize, Multi or Collect. Kalamba Games has packed this Christmas scene around a tiny 3×3 board where every square has a purpose.
Theme and Gameplay
Regular symbols are traditional: twin BAR plates dusted with snow and holly, and a shiny red seven tied up in a yellow ribbon. The stars are gift boxes. A red one says Prize, a green one says Multi and a purple one says Collect, each topped with a bow. Candy-cane posts divide the reels, so the three columns resemble shop windows on a festive street.
Slot Features
An ordinary Hold and Win symbol may land on any reel, each tagged with a random 0.1x to 4x bet value. If three are visible after a spin, their values are paid as an instant reward. The bigger event needs a change of identity: following a spin, one or more of these symbols may morph into a Super version. In the base game, Prize lives on reel 1, Multi on reel 2 and Collect on reel 3.
When three Hold and Win symbols are visible and at least one has become Super, the Hold and Win Bonus begins. You receive three respins, and the symbols that triggered it stick. Whenever another one locks in, your respins reset to three. The bonus is over once respins expire or all nine squares are taken.
During the bonus, Super symbols may land on any reel. Prize hands out 5x, 10x, 20x or 100x the bet. Multi doubles every other value in view, then rolls a new value of 0.1x to 4x for itself. Collect becomes the sum of the other values showing. Their fixed sequence is Prize, then Multi, then Collect, so a single respin could chain all three.
Cover all nine squares and everything merges into one central symbol while the rest clear. The Lucky Round then starts, with three fresh respins and the same rules. Fill the board again and the bonus closes, paying out everything on display.
The buy option drops you into the Hold and Win Bonus at once, with a guaranteed number of Super symbols that varies by level.
RTP and Win Potential
A 93.98% payback trails many rivals. The rewards to aim for are the four-tier prize panel and the Prize gift topping out at 100x. Think of this as a bonus-led game, with ordinary line wins playing second fiddle.
My Thoughts On This Slot
Nothing goes to waste on this little board, which is charming. The gifts are simple to understand and their order is logical. Waiting for Hold and Win symbols may feel slow in the base game, and the modest payback is worth weighing before you choose a bet.
