Jingle Spin

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 4 March 2024

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve seen a Christmas slot from NetEnt, but the wait is over with the forthcoming release of Jingle Spin.Christmas slots tend to be much of a muchness, and while NetEnt has not exactly gone way left of centre with their festive offerings, the Swedish developer does tend to ring something fresh and interesting to their seasonal slots, have they done it again here?

About the slot

With five reels and 20 paylines, Jingle Spin is playable from 20p to £200 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.Santa’s elves can be seen above the reels, with a Christmas tree and Santa also playing a part of the backdrop.All symbols on the reels, even the 10, J, Q, K, and A filler symbols, have hooks above them to create the sense of Christmas decorations.The higher values are represented by cinnamon sticks, pinecones, and more, with the red and gold bauble being the most lucrative, paying out 50x your stake for a full payline.A pleasing enough slot visually, Jingle Spin does as much as a Christmas slot has to.

Gameplay

Santa spins a wheel with every spin, if a bauble lands in it, it will join reel five, then move across the reels, land a wild underneath it, and you trigger a corresponding feature.There’s features include Spreading Wilds, where wilds stretch out to turn its neighbouring symbols wild, Coin Win, which is a cash prize, or the Free Spins feature, where you will receive up to 50 free spins.The Free Spins Feature is definitely the most potentially rewarding here, but each feature has its charm, and makes Jingle Spin another success to add to the collection of fun and exciting NetEnt Christmas slot games.
