Released in time for Christmas 2004, the Ho Ho Ho video slot combines a festive theme with a great range of jackpots. It is a 5 reel, 15 line game where you can bet up to 10 credits per line. This makes for a max bet of 150 credits a spin. Luckily it comes in a variety of coin sizes starting at just one cent.
Everything about Ho Ho Ho ties in with the festive theme. All of the symbols are images and there are no card value symbols that are so common on slots of this type. You will find reindeer, gingerbread men, eggnog, pudding, christmas trees, turkeys and sleighs on the reels, Santa Clause makes an appearance as the wild symbol and the gifts make up the scatter pay.
As you would expect the wild Santa offers the biggest gifts. Line up five on an active line and you win 15,000 coins multiplied by your line bet of up to 10. This means you can win 150,000 credits in a single spin. Five scatters pay the next highest jackpot of 9,000 coins while the reindeer pay 500 for the set of five.
Hit three or more gift symbols anywhere on the reels and you win 20 free spins. The free games can be re-triggered an unlimited number of times. To add to the excitement every time a package appears on the reels a sound plays letting you know you are on the way to the bonus. All wins are doubled during the bonus feature and you get some festive music with the spins.
Ho Ho Ho has a high hit rate for the bonus spins so you will find that getting the re-trigger happens quite often. We have seen five re-triggers in a single bonus round for a total of 120 free spins. If you manage to catch the five Santa symbols during the free games you unwrap a massive 300,000 credit jackpot.
There is one additional way to win on Ho Ho Ho - the gamble feature. At the end of every winning spin a gamble button appears below the reels. If you want to try your luck at doubling up your win you can turn a small win into something bigger or a big win into something massive.
Overall Ho Ho Ho is a great Australian style video slot that is sure to be popular this festive season and for years to come. |
