Xmas Teddy x1000 Slot Review
Snowflakes drift through a violet Christmas night, a gummy bear in a Santa hat stands on a tray of gold coins, and the reels are framed in candy-cane stripe. The odd thing about Xmas Teddy x1000 is that this seasonal dressing isn’t the thinnest part of the game: the bear is also the scatter, the multipliers climb to x1000, and the 20,000x round cap is one of the higher ceilings Playson has put its name to.
The game runs on a 6×5 grid where symbols pay anywhere, 8 or more of a kind forming a win, with cascades and multiplier coins stacked on top. Playson has form with this format, and Sugar Teddy 2 is the obvious relative, with Lucky Pots x1000 and Golden Penny x1000: Super Wheel sitting in the same family. The teddy bear is doing more than posing here, though. He’s the scatter, and he’s how the whole bonus engine starts.
Paying Anywhere on a 6×5 Grid
There are no paylines. Every symbol pays anywhere on the reels, and the win value is set by how many matching symbols land, not where they sit. 8 identical symbols is the minimum for a win; 7 or fewer pays nothing.
A Wild substitutes for everything except the Scatter, Super Scatter and Multiplier symbols. It can’t help you build a scatter trigger, but it does help assemble the big clusters the paytable rewards. The rest of the paytable is candy all the way down:
- Lollipop (pink swirl): 15x for 12, 4x for 10-11, 1.5x for 8-9
- Blue worm candy: 10x for 12, 2x for 10-11, 1x for 8-9
- Heart: 5x for 12, 1.5x for 10-11, 0.75x for 8-9
- Green triangle candy: 4x for 12, 1.25x for 10-11, 0.5x for 8-9
Those figures are multiples of the total bet, and they’re the ceiling on what the main game pays on its own. Clusters of 10 or more are where the real money sits; anything at the 8-9 tier barely covers the spin. Note the shape of the table too: the drop from 15x on the lollipop down to 4x two rows down is steep. The gap between a 9-symbol cluster and a 12-symbol one is where the game’s variance lives in the base game.
Cascading Wins
Every winning combination collapses. New symbols drop into the gaps, and if those form another 8-plus cluster, the sequence runs again. One spin can chain several wins together, which matters more than usual here because of what lands alongside them.
Each collapse also brings fresh symbols into play, including fresh scatters and multiplier coins. That’s what makes a single spin in this game capable of doing several jobs at once: paying a cluster, feeding the teddy’s progress and dropping a coin that lifts the whole sequence.
Multiplier Coins
Multiplier symbols appear as coins showing x2, x10, x20, x50 or x1000. In the main game, all coin values on the grid are summed and applied to the spin’s win once the cascades finish. Two coins on the same grid add together, so a x20 and a x50 landing side by side multiply the sequence’s win by x70.
In both free spins rounds the coins work differently. Each one that lands during a winning round is added to a Total Multiplier, and that running total is applied to the whole round’s win when the collapse sequence ends. That’s the mechanic the x1000 in the title points at, and it’s the reason the two halves of the game feel so different: main game coins boost one spin, bonus coins boost everything the round has paid so far.
Free Spins and Super Free Spins
4 or more Scatter symbols in the main game trigger Free Spins. The more scatters, the more spins:
- 4 Scatter symbols award 15 Free Spins
- 5 Scatter symbols award 20 Free Spins
- 6 or more Scatter symbols award 25 Free Spins
3 or more scatters landing during the round trigger 5 additional spins, so a bonus that starts small can keep growing. Retriggers stack with the Total Multiplier, which is what pushes long rounds towards the cap.
Super Free Spins
A separate Super Scatter symbol opens a second door. Land it alongside 3 or more regular scatters in the main game and Super Free Spins begin:
- 3 Scatters plus a Super Scatter award 15 Super Free Spins
- 4 Scatters plus a Super Scatter award 20 Super Free Spins
- 5 or more Scatters plus a Super Scatter award 25 Super Free Spins
The Super round needs one fewer scatter than the standard one to reach each tier, which is the practical difference between them. The Total Multiplier rules apply in both, as do the retriggers.
The Sugar Teddy Feature
Any Scatter or Super Scatter landing into the main game, even without enough company to trigger a bonus, grants a chance at the Sugar Teddy Feature. When it fires, extra scatter symbols get added to the reels, sometimes enough to tip the spin into Free Spins or Super Free Spins on its own.
The teddy tracks progress visually, shifting from blue to green to red as the levels climb. A red teddy means the feature is at its top level, so the mascot doubles as a progress bar. It’s a small touch, but it gives him an actual job rather than a decorative one.
Buying the Bonus
A bonus button sits under the reels, and it sells both rounds directly:
- 15, 20 or 25 Free Spins: 100 bets, multipliers from x2 to x1000
- 15, 20 or 25 Super Free Spins: 500 bets, multipliers from x10 to x1000
The full ladder of available coin values in the standard purchase runs x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15, x20, x25, x30, x50, x100, x250, x500 and x1000, while the Super purchase starts at x10 and runs x10, x12, x15, x20, x25, x30, x50, x100, x250, x500 and x1000. The Super version costs five times as much, and its multiplier floor is x10 rather than x2. A toggle labelled HIGHER CHANCE FOR BONUS also sits in the bet menu, raising the stake shown to 1.20 when switched on.
Then there’s the 20,000x round cap to keep in mind. Once a round’s total win hits that figure, everything stops on the spot and the reward is paid out in full.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.6/10
Playing Xmas Teddy x1000 is mostly a matter of waiting for the bear. The base game pays in small candy-sized clusters while the teddy shifts from blue to red in the corner, and the reason to choose this one over the other scatter-pays builds is that the Super Free Spins round is a genuinely different proposition rather than a re-skin: one fewer scatter per tier and an x10 multiplier floor from the first coin.
The strength is the Total Multiplier. Coins that accumulate across a whole round instead of a single spin mean every coin that lands makes the next win bigger, and long rounds snowball on their own rather than resetting every spin. That’s what keeps the 20,000x cap feeling reachable instead of decorative.
The weakness is the main game, which leans on cascades and the occasional coin to stay interesting while the highest prize visible in the paytable is 15x. It suits scatter-pays players who like a slow build and don’t mind buying the expensive door to reach the x1000 coins; anyone after quick regular hits will find the gaps between teddy appearances long. But come December, the well-dressed bear makes the wait easier.
