The story of the Nutcracker has been told through books, through ballet, and now it is the turn of the slots world to bring this classic tale to life thanks to this Christmas release from iSoftBet.iSoftBet have proven they can turn popular source material into impressive slots before, but can they do it again here?
About the slot
With five reels and 20 paylines, The Nutcracker is playable from 20 to £20 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.As a tale based around Christmas, being depicted in a slot released just before Christmas, as you may expect, this slot includes quite a lot of Christmas!Symbols on the reels aren’t all themed, with the traditional 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols all present, while the higher values are represented by various toys, teddies, and a mouse, which is the most lucrative symbol, paying out 50x your stake if you manage to land five on a payline.The Nutcracker is the wild here, and will replace all symbols bar the scatter, which is depicted by the Sugar Plum Fairy.It would’ve been easy to make this slot too sweet in terms of appearance, but iSoftBet have found the balance well.
Gameplay
Land three or more scatters to trigger the Fairy Free Spins feature, which offers up to 30 spins (for five symbols) with a multiplier increasing each time The Nutcracker lands stacked on the middle reel.If you land the wild stacked fully in the third reel in the base game, you will trigger the Nutcracker Gift Bonus & Free Spins feature, which up to 10 spins will be given with the stacked wild sticking in place for the duration.The Nutcracker is a fun slot with some excellent features, a worth addition to the Christmas list this year.
