Selfie Elfie

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 10 June 2026

Christmas themes are everywhere right now, and the world of slot games is no different.As is the case every December, various developers are climbing each other to attempt to be the first to make a big splash with their festive releases.One name in the fight is Playtech, who have gone in hard on the Christmas concept this year in the shape of Selfie Elfie.

About the slot

With five reels and 40 paylines, Selfie Elfie is playable from 10p to £500 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.A cartoon style is taken here, which makes sense giving the insanely playful nature of the concept being used.Symbols on the reels include the J, Q, K, and A symbols, alongside two elves, a gingerbread man, Rudolph, and Mrs Claus, with Santa being the most lucrative symbol, paying out 10x your stake for five on a payline.The Selfie Elfie is the wild symbol, and as well as substituting for all symbols bar the scatter, it will also pay out 12.5x your bet if you fill a paylines.Santa’s village stands in the background of this quirky slot which, while bringing very little new to the table in terms of appearance, is certainly not lacking in charm.

Gameplay

If Elfie’s Wheel of Fortune appears above the reels during the base game, a high value will be selected to turn wild on the reels for a re-spin.Three scatters will trigger the Selfie Elfie Free Games feature, which offers eight spins and the Wheel of Fortune remains in play throughout, with any symbols turning wild and staying that way for the whole feature, so a combination of these can lead to some tasty wins.Selfie Elfie is one of the top Christmas slots you’ll find in this year’s iGaming stocking.
