Penguins Christmas Party Time Slot Review
It’s time to eat, drink, and be merry in Reel Kingdom’s latest release, Penguins Christmas Party Time!
It’s that time of year when everyone is hosting and attending annual Christmas parties to celebrate the upcoming festivities. Pragmatic Play affiliate, Reel Kingdom, is seeing in the holiday with a party like no other, and we’re invited.
Take to the dancefloor and show off your moves in Penguins Christmas Party Time, where Snowball Boosters, Wild Party, and Boogie Back features steal the limelight.
We’ve been to many Christmas slot parties over the years, including Santa’s Big Bash Megaways and Rock Star Santa MultiMax, yet surprisingly it’s not our first time celebrating with penguins thanks to Snow Slingers from Hacksaw Gaming. With these in mind, will Reel Kingdom’s Christmas knees-up be the best of the bunch? Let’s play on and find out!
Penguins Christmas Party Time – Base Game
Base Game & Features
Penguins Christmas Party Time is a highly volatile 5-reel, 3-row Video Slot with 25 active pay lines and varying bet sizes between £.€0.05 and £.€250 per spin. Other statistics include an overall RTP of 96.54% and a max win cap of 2,000x your bet.
Combinations of 3-5 matching symbols create winning sequences from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. This game has 3 High-paying and 5 Low-paying symbols available, awarding wins between 0.2x and 1,000x your bet. Wilds appear on all reels, substituting for all symbols except Scatters.

Non-UK players can receive VIP access to the Free Spins round for an additional 100x their current bet. Players will instantly receive 10 Free Spins upon entry.
Penguins Christmas Party Time – Pick Phase
Free Spins
Landing 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 10 Free Spins. Before the round begins, you will enter a Pick Phase, where 1 of 3 Balloons will reveal a unique Modifier for the entire round:
Snowball Booster
In this feature, random symbol positions are marked with a x2 Multiplier which applies to all wins that pass through them. If more than 1 Multiplier is part of the same win, they will automatically multiply each other.
During Free Spins, random reels can be marked with Snow. If all 5 reels are marked at the end of a spin, an additional +10 Free Spins are awarded.
Wild Party
In this feature, at least 1 reel is guaranteed to have all positions covered in Wild symbols with each spin. Please note, that this feature does not allow retriggers.
Boogie Back
At the end of the initial 10 Free Spins, a special Wheel appears with equal win and loss sections. The winning side displays an additional +10 Free Spins and a random Multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x8.
If the cursor stops on the winning side, +10 Free Spins and the selected Multiplier are awarded. The active Multiplier is applied to all wins for the new batch of Free Spins received from the Wheel. Alternatively, landing on the losing side will end the round.
Penguins Christmas Party Time – Wild Party Free Spins
Our Verdict
Occasionally, Reel Kingdom switches from their popular Big Bass series to something entirely different, as witnessed in previous titles like Dynamite Diggin Doug and Fangtastic Freesspins.
Penguins Christmas Party Time joins the likes of Ding Dong Christmas Bells, a festive addition to celebrate the upcoming holiday. Although Reel Kingdom’s portfolio is predominantly Big Bass titles, it warms our hearts to see something other than fish in their games, although they’ve not swayed too far it seems.
In Penguins Christmas Party Time, it takes a little while for the party to warm up. Aside from the occasional Wild symbol, the base game is a bit of a party-pooper. If you can bear with the sub-par base game, you’ll find the Free Spins round much more lively.
At the start of Free Spins, you’re given the choice between 3 Balloon icons, each revealing an exciting Modifier for the entirety of Free Spins. Stacked Wilds, Multipliers, and a nifty Wheel feature are all up for grabs, creating a pleasant and unique atmosphere each time you trigger Free Spins.
Although the Free Spins round is where the real party is, it doesn’t quite make up for the lack of base game features, nor does the max win cap of 2,000x your bet. Penguins Christmas Party Time is a great option for players looking to wind down this Christmas, but it’s not a very generous or giving title.
