Action Boost Christmas Slot Review
The folks at SpinPlay Games are bringing the action to your screens in their festive new release, Action Boost Christmas!
Debuting in early December, Action Boost Christmas brings the festive season to the reels. As the title suggests, there will be plenty of action for anyone willing to give this slot a few spins.
Powered by Games Global, Action Boost Christmas is not SpinPlay Games’ first seasoned release. Amazing Link Christmas is part of a popular series which released in 2023. Besides these two, SpinPlay Games has kept their portfolio fairly traditional in terms of themes.
Other titles from SpinPlay Games’ portfolio include Alice in WildLand, Mustang Riches Blazing Ways, and Diamond King Gold. Read our full Action Boost Christmas slot review for insights into features, statistics, and overall gameplay.
Base Game & Features
Action Boost Christmas is a 5-reel, 4-row Video Slot with 20 active pay lines in the base game, boosted to 40 pay lines in Free Spins. Rated as a Medium Volatility slot, this game comes with an overall RTP of 96.47% and a max win cap of 5,000x your bet.
Available symbols include 6 High and Low-paying symbols, with each high-paying representing a Christmas icon. Payouts for each winning sequence fall between 0.1x and 10x your bet.
In this section of the review, we would usually break down all the available features, bonus buy, and ante bet options. Unfortunately, Action Boost Christmas does not facilitate any of the mentioned criteria, which leads us straight into Free Spins where individually-coloured Action Boost rounds are available.
Free Spins
Landing 1 or more Coin symbols on the reels has the potential to trigger 1 of 3 Action Boost modes. Purple, Green, and Red Coins are collected into their respective Present Icons above the reels. Depending on which Present Icon triggers, 1 of 3 Free Spins modes is awarded:
Green Coin Action Boost
Awards 5 Free Spins. The number of pay lines increases from 20 to 40, thus increasing the height of the reels. Any reels with Wild Symbols are automatically nudged so that the entire reel consists of only Wilds. Payouts are awarded after nudges occur.
Red Coin Action Boost
Awards 10 Free Spins. Each Gold Present reveals either a Credit Prize or a Letter. Credit prizes are equal to your current bet, while letters of different colours spell out Jackpot Prizes. Landing enough letters of the same colour that spell out a Jackpot will award the respective Jackpot Prize.
- Mini: 10x your bet
- Minor: 50x your bet
- Major: 500x your bet
- Mega: 5,000x your bet
Purple Coin Action Boost
Awards 5 Free Spins. Each Gold Present that appears will award an additional 1-2 Free Spins or a Credit Prize equal to your current bet. During each spin, a random Multiplier of x2, x3, or x5 is active.
It’s also possible to trigger multiple Action Boost Free Spins modes at once. If this happens, you’ll be awarded 10 Free Spins and a combination of modes.
Our Verdict
Seasoned slots don’t have a lot of staying power throughout the year, so creating a slot with a Christmas theme such as this one comes with a fair amount of risk. That being said, slots like Action Boost Christmas have the desired affect, and if they’re done right, they may become a recurring choice every year.
As for Action Boost Christmas, it’s a charming slot that blends modern game mechanics with a traditional Christmas design. For a medium volatility slot, the overall RTP of 96.47% and 5,000x max win cap are perfectly aligned with player preference for this type of game. The base game is missing out on many festive features but quickly makes up for what is lost via 3 Free Spins modes.
All in all, Action Boost Christmas is a merry offering from SpinPlay Games, however, it could have been more appealing had SpinPlay Games thrown in some nifty features – it is the season of giving after all.
*Action Boost Christmas is available to play across Top UK Casinos from the 4th December 2024
