Theme of the Game
It is as if the title doesn’t reveal enough with the latest slot game coming from Play‘n GO. Their brand new title Holiday Season is a timely Christmas release intended to set the tone for that time of the year which, by the way, is approaching and is doing it fast.
What we have before us is a game consisting of five reels, tree rows and ten adjustable paylines. The party is on and you are the only guest missing in this Christmas celebration. The game will welcome you with the confetti explosion and that is pretty much the only animation part you will have in this Christmas-theme.
Play‘n GO have created more detailed games in the past, but the simplicity of this one we have in front of us is in a way perfectly suitable for what was intended to be achieved. On the other side, this high-variance slot offers as much as 500,000 coins which is well enough of a reason to forget somewhat weaker presentation.
Developer
Holiday Season slot game was produced by a Swedish game developer called Play’n GO. From just a small group of corporate computer geeks making their living in strict and rigid environments, Play’n GO founders decided to come together and create a world of their own, with one simple goal – to delight and inspire people to have fun, while enjoying on their own as well.
Over the last two decades Play’n GO has grown into a major player in the gambling industry by developing solutions built for the future. It was Play’n GO who broke the ice and stepped inside then unchartered mobile waters, leading the way for others in the business.
With the aim to remain at the forefront, their focus is set on bringing innovation and top of the technology to the table in order to delight their players, clients and partners.
How to Play it
From the moment you launch the screen, the Holiday theme will come hitting hard. With fireworks exploding on the skies behind, the game will take you to a peaceful, night setting of a quiet town. Taking a stroll in an empty street you go along hitting the five reels as you make your way to the Christmas party.
Symbols in the game are well-fitted with the subject. Higher denominations include a sharp-dressed man holding a glass up in your honour, an attractive girl dressed up in Santa’s outfit, a clock ticking midnight, delicious turkey and a yummy cake.
A neatly wrapped up box is the game’s Wild which substitutes for all other symbols except for the Scatter, which is presented as a bottle (and a glass) of champagne. In addition to all the symbols mentioned above, the game houses low-paying icons depicted as golden playing cards from 10 to Ace.
Sitting below the reels are game controls and settings which allow you to set the coin value, determine the coin level and choose the number of paylines you wish to be active during the spins. Spin button comes with an autoplay option which some gamers enjoy thoroughly as they sit back and enjoy the action unfolds automatically.
The aim of the game is simple. All you have to do is to line up at least three matching symbols from the leftmost to the right in order to land a winning combination.
Given the small number of paylines (10), the game is a high-variance slot, which will not yield frequent wins everybody yearns for. Still, the proper fun goes on within the extra features.

Special Features
Three of those Champagne Scatters will be enough to unlock the Free Spins feature. You will get 5 free spins during which – and that is a guarantee coming from Play’n GO themselves – you will be guaranteed at least one winning combination per spin.
Every Scatter you land during the complimentary rounds will give you two additional spins, while the feature itself can be retriggered up to a total of 3 win spins. And that pretty much wraps it as Free Spins are the only thing this festive feature benefits from.
Maximum Payout
Available at five different coin levels, the Holiday Season slot starts with $0.01 and goes up to $2 as the highest coin value which means that highest you can stake for full 10 paylines is $100.
We do agree that is can be a bit pricey for all of those players not considering themselves as high rollers, but knowing that this slot can yield impressive 500,000 coins, doing the simple math will make it well worthwhile.
Summary
Play’n GO can do much better when it comes to graphics, visual appeal and overall playing experience. We know they can as they did in the past, but all of that can be forgiven and forgotten in a true holiday spirit with Christmas approaching.
The game Holiday Season is meant to embrace the festiveness and bring it up on the screen through five reels, which is well enough of a reason to put a smile on your face. Playable across desktop and mobile devices, Play’n GO’s Holiday Season can be enjoyed on the go on your mobile phones which makes it fairly attractive.
