Xmas Chase N Win

Xmas Chase N Win Slot Review

A reindeer and its sleigh cross the snowy peaks, pine branches hang heavy with snow, and a single cottage window glows at the foot of the reels. Xmas Chase N Win paints its winter night beautifully, but the picture is doing something unusual for a three-reel game: the paytable is almost decoration, and everything that matters happens on a ladder of lit reels behind it. Spinomenal have dressed a very simple machine in a candy-cane frame strung with garland and lights.

Five lines, an RTP of 95.42%, and a bonus where every scatter fills one cell of a multiplier bar that climbs from x2 to x5,000. For more compact festive fare from the same studio, see 1 Reel Santa and Holidays Joker Xmas, or Book of Elves 2 for something fuller.

Reels, Lines and Symbols

Three reels, three rows, five lines. All symbols pay left to right from the leftmost reel, only the highest win on each line is paid, and wins are multiplied by the bet per line. Betting is handled per line, adjusted with the plus and minus buttons, and the bet per line carries over into the free spins mode unchanged.

There’s no wild symbol in this game, so every win is a straight run of matching symbols across a line. The paytable is top-heavy for a three-reeler, with the Gingerbread Man leading it comfortably ahead of the Gift and the Bell, and a short run of card royals below them. All values are multiples of the total bet.

• Gingerbread Man – 2,400x the total bet for three
• Gift – 1,200x for three
• Bell – 800x for three
• A, K, Q, J – 400x for three
• 10 – 200x for three

Even the humble 10 pays 200x the total bet for a full line, which is a healthier floor than most three-reel games offer their bottom symbol. With only the highest combination counting per line, the Gingerbread Man’s 2,400x is a distant peak rather than a regular sight.

That top value deserves a moment of scale. At the 0.05 total bet shown in the demo, three Gingerbread Men on a line return 120 in credits – but the multiple is what matters, and 2,400x the total bet from a single line is serious money for a game this size. The royals sit far below it, which means the gap between a good spin and a great one is enormous.

The Chase! Scatter and Re-Spins

The engine of the base game is the Chase! scatter. Every time it lands, it lights up the reel it sits on and pays x1 the total bet, wherever it appears. It doesn’t need to sit on a payline, and it doesn’t need company. One scatter is enough to set the mechanic in motion.

What happens next depends entirely on how many reels are lit. The ladder of outcomes works like this:

• Chase! scatter lands – the reel it sits on lights up, and it pays x1 the total bet
• One or two reels lit – the game awards a single re-spin
• Lit reels – they stay lit through consecutive re-spins, so progress isn’t lost between them
• All three reels lit – 10 free spins begin

The result is a chase in the literal sense. Each re-spin is a question: will another scatter land on a dark reel and extend the run, or will the trail go cold one reel short? Because lit reels persist, a third scatter anywhere on the final re-spin is enough to finish the job.

There’s a rhythm to it that most three-reel games don’t attempt. A single scatter in the middle of a dead spin still buys you a free look at the next one, so the mechanic pays out in small instalments of suspense even when the big trigger never arrives. And because the scatter itself pays x1 the total bet on top of everything else, the base game isn’t entirely dependent on line wins to keep the balance ticking.

Chase’N’Win Free Spins

Three lit reels award 10 free spins, and the round works differently from everything before it. Paytable wins stop mattering. Instead, a multiplier bar surrounds the slot, and every Chase’N’Win scatter that lands fills one cell in that bar, starting at x2 and climbing all the way to x5,000.

When the round ends, the payout is the multiplier on the last filled cell multiplied by the total bet. A round that fills only the first cell still pays double the total bet; a round that climbs to the top pays 5,000x. Everything in between is a straight race along the bar.

Note the two different scatters at work here. The Chase’N’Win scatter fills the bar; the Chase! scatter extends the round. Keeping those jobs separate is what gives the feature its tension, because a spin that lands both does two things at once – it pushes the multiplier up and buys more time to push it further.

The round can extend itself, too. Landing one or more Chase! scatters during free spins awards five additional spins, and each extra spin is another chance for a Chase’N’Win scatter to fill the next cell. The bet per line stays the same as the game that triggered the round, so the climb costs nothing extra.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.1/10

Playing this is mostly quiet spinning on five lines, watching snow fall past a glowing window and waiting for one reel to light up. That patience is the point of it: there’s a visible finish line to every chase, and the tension of arriving at the last re-spin with two reels lit is real.

The free spins round is the best thing here by a distance, because it’s completely legible. Every scatter visibly moves you one cell up a bar that ends at x5,000x the total bet – no ambiguous modifiers, no second screen, just a climb you can watch. The cost is everything before it: with no wild and a long walk between lit reels, the base game can feel like a corridor rather than a room.

It suits players who like one simple goal on a small grid and don’t need a dozen features to stay interested. Anyone who wants constant action will find the quiet stretches trying. For the rest, the prettiest gift under this tree is the one sitting behind the third lit reel.
