About Boat Bonanza Christmas
Set in a snow-covered fishing village, the jolly fishermen have clearly gone all-out on Christmas spirit. Above the reels, two fishing boats bob gently on the icy waters, all festive and unaware of what’s to come. The reels are scattered with cheerful low-value card suits, and five matching symbols award 10x the bet. The high payers are lifebuoys, lobster traps, seagulls carrying gift bags, and fishing rods. 5 matching high payers award 50x to 100x the bet. There are no wilds, but this game has Catch symbols (Collectors) and a Scatter that triggers the Free Spins.
And the soundtrack? It features a mix of jingles and cheerful fishing melodies that will have you humming “Deck the Halls with Boughs of Lobsters” in no time.
The slot plays on 5 reels with 20 paylines. It’s available to play on desktop, tablet and mobile devices from 20p to £50 per spin. The RTP is a respectable 96.22%, and combined with high volatility, you’re looking at occasional droughts between huge catches of up to 5,000x the bet.
Boat Bonanza Christmas Features
Forget traditional slot features. Boat Bonanza Christmas boasts Catch Symbols, Catch feature, Mega Catch and Free Spins.
Scattered across the reels are various fish and lobsters, some sporting festive accessories (because why not?). These little buddies come with random cash values up to 1,000x the bet. They make regular payline wins, but their values are collected in some of the features. The max value of a Catch symbol is 1,000x.
Catch Feature
Above the reels, two jaunty little fishing boats drift lazily, clearly thinking about eggnog! When Catch symbols land below a boat, their values are collected and added to your winnings.
Mega Catch Feature
Every so often, two boats become active above the same reel. The Mega Catch triggers and collects all the Catch symbols on the reels, their values are combined and paid out.
Free Spins
The free spins trigger the usual way with 3, 4 or 5 scatters awarding 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. During the free spins, two boats are always on duty (about time), each starting with a 1x multiplier. Multiplier Catch symbols are available, and if you are lucky enough to snag one, its value will be added to the boat’s multiplier. If a boat lands Cash Catch symbols, the win is multiplied by the boat’s multiplier.
If the Mega Catch features triggers during the Free Spins, the current multiplier values of the two boats are added together and applied to the already caught cash prizes
Boat Bonanza Christmas from Play n GO is the kind of game that doesn’t take itself too seriously—and thank goodness for that. With its wacky theme, quirky features, and festive vibe, it’s the perfect slot for anyone who thinks Christmas could do with a little sea spray and sardines. Sure, it’s a little daft, but isn’t that what the holidays are all about?
