Slot Overview
Another Christmas and what feels like another one of Pragmatics’ endless Christmas Reskin games.
The Original Sugar Rush was a great game that I’ll admit had me screaming in joy and tilt rage several times last year; well, get ready for the same feelings as Sugar Rush Xmas, which is the same game, with a bit of snow.
Slot Features
Multiplier Spots
Whenever a winning symbol is removed, it highlights its position on the grid. The second time a symbol is removed from the same spot, a multiplier of x2 is added, doubling in value every time another symbol is removed from the same spot – up to a maximum of x128. The multiplier applies to all winning combinations that land on top of it. They are added if more than one multiplier is involved in the same win. In the base game, marked spots with multipliers are cleared at the end of the spin when there are no more tumbles.
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatters anywhere on the reels in the base game awards players with 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 free spins, respectively. While free spins are active, highlighted spots and their multipliers remain in place until the round ends. In other words, they are not cleared at the end of a free spin as they are in the base game. During the round, free spins can be retriggered like they are triggered.
Buy Free Spins
For 100x the bet total bet, players can buy the free spins round. When buying free spins, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatters randomly hit to trigger it.
Summary
As mentioned, I loved and hated the Original Sugar Rush, and the same can be said for the Xmas version.
However, as reskin games go, it’s such a lazy game from Pragmatic; everything is the same except for a bit of snow here and there, some Santa hats on the logo, etc.
However, if you want a game with some potential that you can give a couple of bonus buys on and feel like a bit of a Xmas feeling, give this title a go.
