NetEnt does know how to tickle one’s imagination with their exciting slot game announcement that comes far ahead that the actual release date and Secrets of Christmas is no different.
As you go on thinking about that time of the year again, this Stockholm-based game developers have decided to treat you with a fantastic festive feature filled with classic Christmas-like delights taking you into a winter wonderland with 5 reels and 25 paying lines that will potentially reward you with up to 1,425 times your stake on a single spin.
What We Love
It is hard to put the obvious aside, the Christmas theme is one of the most loved one of them all.
NetEnt has really put in a lot of effort to make their game as appealing as it can get and we must say they made it. They ended up making a super traditional Christmas slot games, but still enriched it with a couple of neat touches that really take the experience to the maximum.
Five reels are set across a frosty window pane decorated with garlands and are here to entice you into thinking what could await you inside the house. The reels offer a slight peek at Christmas Eve goodies and delights – cookies, milk, chocolate cakes, candy canes and the Big Man with a beard himself.

Christmasy feel is completed with a joyful, festive soundtrack offering all of the well-known tunes, much to your delight.
As simple and straightforward as it may look, the Secrets Christmas bears a secret of its own which will be presented to you once you initiate the bonus feature. There are ten Free Spins as your disposal for at least three Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, but the more you grab the better it gets.
The game will now take you inside the house and into the toy room where you will pick from 20 toys. The number of picks will be determined according to the number of Scatters you initially landed. Five for five, that is as honest as fair as it gets.
The toys hold different prizes and you will be delighted to hear that there are 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 more free spins for you, 1x and 2x multipliers, additional Wild Symbols and Wild reels to benefit from, for a complete festive feeling and up to 1,425 times your stake, which makes it worthwhile.
What We Do Not Like
First of all we hate it that we have to wait a long time before we actually get to play this game. There is contrasting information about its release date with the earliest projection set for the 30th November, while some other suggest the Christmas Surprise will not be out until the 15th December.
NetEnt usually does this kind of a premature promotion which we are not too keen of, to be honest.
As for the game itself there is nothing much to be said. It is a truly festive spirit, with plenty of innocent Christmas fun. What we can say though is that the base game lacks some excitement, even though the lack is well compensated for in the bonus round.
The major downsize to this game though is its availability. Secrets of Christmas does not come cheap and you will be forced to fork out $125 if you want to play with the highest stake.
Worth Playing?
First of all, we should take aim at the question if this game is worth the wait. It’s a Christmas theme, the first one ever coming from the creative kitchen of NetEnt, so we say it sure is worth the wait.
From what we learned from the promo video that was available to us all, the Secrets of Christmas will be a well-balanced game with great features available in the toy room.
