Dazzle Me Christmas Slot Review
Dazzle Me Christmas from Red Tiger affiliate, Netent, brings the sparkle of Christmas to your screens in time for the big day!
Netent strips Dazzle Me Megaways of its mechanic and replaces it with tinsel and mistletoe for the upcoming festivities, sticking to the classic theme and iconic symbols.
Dazzle Me Christmas carries over elements of the previous Dazzle slots, including Linked Reels, Wild Reels, and an epic Free Spins round, while throwing in an interesting Multiplier feature to give the game a unique appeal.
With Christmas not far away, Dazzle Me Christmas arrives just in time for the festive period, but will it dazzle us as much as the Megaways version did? Let’s play on and find out!
Base Game & Features
Dazzle Me Christmas is a highly volatile 5-reel Video Slot with varying bet sizes between £.€0.20 and £.€200 per spin. This game also facilitates an overall RTP of 96.17% and a max win cap of 2,306x your bet.
The 5 reels are displayed in a configuration of 3-3-4-4-5 with 76 pay lines active in the base game. The number of pay lines increases to 90 during the Free Spins round. Winning combinations are established when 3-5 matching symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.
Wild Reels
In the base game, the Wild Reels feature can be randomly triggered. Once active, reels 1-5 will spin in a stack of Wild symbols which cover an entire reel. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Scatters.
Elevate Feature
- Free Spins Hunt: Increases your chance of triggering Free Spins (2x your bet)
- Wild Reels: Each spin is guaranteed at least 1 Wild Reel and a random Multiplier between x1 and x50 (10x your bet)
- Free Spins: Triggers the Free Spins round with 3-5 Scatters (100x your bet)
- Enhanced Free Spins: Triggers the Free Spins round with 3-5 Scatters and at least 1 Multiplier between x2 and x5 (300x your bet)
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 8, 12, or 16 Free Spins respectively.
At the start of the round, the reels expand to 5 rows high, increasing the number of active pay lines to 90. Scatters may also land with the following Multipliers:
- Reel 2: x2 Multiplier
- Reel 3: x3 Multiplier
- Reel 4: x4 Multiplier
- Reel 5: x5 Multiplier
The total sum of the Multiplier becomes the Global Multiplier throughout Free Spins. During this round, each winning combination will increase the current Global Multiplier by +x1. Landing 3-5 Scatter symbols awards an additional +8 to +12 Free Spins respectively.
In addition, the Linked Reels feature becomes active during this time. At the end of each spin, identical linked reels appear adjacent on reels 1-4, where the right reel is identical to the left reel. The linked reels feature automatically links reels 1-2 and/or reels 3-4 together.
Our Verdict
After the highly-anticipated release of Dazzle Me Megaways, it’s a hard pill to swallow going back to fixed pay lines and a regular reel layout. The Christmas vibe brings a little joy to the classic theme, whilst the reels spin in familiar features and mechanics from the original title.
When we first heard about Dazzle Me Christmas, we had hoped to see the Megaways mechanic return for the festivities. Instead, Netent has chosen to reskin the original, while incorporating a new Multiplier element to gameplay.
We’re particularly fond of the Wild Reels feature, which causes reels 1-5 to stack with wilds during any random spin in the base game. Due to the layout of the reels, you’d benefit more from stacked wilds on reels 3, 4, and 5 as they are equipped with higher rows.
In Free Spins, the Linked Reels feature becomes apparent, activating between 2 and 4 reels with each spin. The good news is that the reels expand to 5 rows high, activating 90 fixed pay lines rather than the standard 76. This enables more opportunities to win than in the base game, with the added bonus of the Linked Reels feature.
*Dazzle Me Christmas is available to play across Top Slots Sites from the 12th Decemeber 2024
