Game Overview
In the slot review business, things always begin to heat up around October and November, with a new string of Christmas slots being released into the market. We’ve got the mince pies in the oven here at Demoslot and the advent calendars ready to go, but before we get stuck into them, it’s time to take a look at Pragmatic Play’s Ding Dong Christmas Bells slot. After an initial overview of all those important stats, I can tell you this is a 5-reel game with an RTP of 96.05% and a max win of just 2,100x bet.
There’s very little to report on in the base game of this slot, but I guess that at least means all of the RTP has been stored up for the bonus round. Speaking of which, the free spins round is triggered at random when one or more of the bells appear on the reels, and it rings its matching bell positioned above the playfield. During this bonus, all bells that trigger the feature will act as a wild and carry a multiplier of x2, with players also having the chance to add extra bells while the bonus is active.
We might not be able to send all of our site visitors a gift this year, but we can provide you with the next best thing. This is, of course, a free Ding Dong Christmas Bells Christmas slot demo, which, as always, is available for you to try below.
Ding Dong Christmas Bells Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Christmas soon creeps up on us each year, and before you know it, your favourite online casino has a lobby full of slot games gently easing you into the festivities. Generally, you get a good few original releases to try, but providers also love to slap a bit of tinsel and holly over an existing title and rebrand it as a Christmas slot, cough cough, Christmas Catch Megaways. Hmmm, that’s my throat cleared, and I can at least tell you that the Ding Dong Christmas Bells slot does offer complete originality and isn’t a revamped Pragmatic game. Okay, now that’s all sorted, chuck me another mince pie and a squirt of cream, and I’ll see you over at the pays section.
The paytable has loaded up on my screen, and all I can say is BELLS. Why? Well, because all the premium symbols are coloured bells, obviously. So, in order, we’ve got a Gold, Purple, Red, Blue, and Green Bell, which will pay 200x, 50x, 50x, 30x, and 30x, respectively for a five of a kind win. Onto the low pays, and we have the usual royal symbols, beautifully decorated as candy canes, may I add, with the Ace, King and Queen all paying 16x bet for a full line of five, the Jack and Ten with equal rewards of 6x, and finally, the Nine, worth 4x the bet for a winning combo of five.
I can confidently say that you’ll have little trouble finding a bet size to play at on Ding Dong Christmas Bells. The minimum price to set the reels spinning is €0.10, with the game reaching a huge €250 as its maximum stake. Whilst a number of online casinos will likely reduce that max limit, there are still many options to choose from, with lots of stakes to pick from under the €1 mark, which is always great to see.
Ding Dong Christmas Bells Slot Base Game
A traditional Christmas time slot deserves a traditional set of reels, and that’s precisely what we have on Ding Dong Christmas Bells with a reel matrix of 5×3 and 10 fixed paylines. You’ll be awarded a win if three or more matching symbols connect from the leftmost reel first across one of the active paylines, simple.
Ante Bet
By activating the Ante bet at the extra cost of 50% on top of your stake, you will double your chances of hitting the bonus feature.
Ding Dong Christmas Bells Slot Bonus Features
In the base game, all five bell paying symbols are associated with one bell symbol of the same colour, always found on the top of the reels. Every time a bell paying symbol hits, it sends musical notes to hit its representation above the playfield. Randomly, when this happens, the free spins feature can be triggered.
Free Spins Feature
The free spins round triggers with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the bell paying symbols transformed into wild symbols, depending on how many of the bells randomly activated when the feature was triggered.
During the free spins round, these are wild and substitute for all symbols, with each having a multiplier of x2 that applies to the win of all lines that the wilds are part of. If more than one wild is part of the same winning combination, the multipliers add to each other.
Whilst the feature is active, bells not activated at the beginning can also randomly activate when touched by musical notes. When this happens, the respective bell transforms into a wild for the remainder of the feature, and 5 additional free spins are awarded. If more than one bell is activated during the round on the same free spin, only 5 additional free spins are awarded.
Bonus Buy
Players can instantly trigger the free spins at a cost of 100x the bet, where either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 bells will be active.
Pros
- The design and overall look is excellent, which is expected from Pragmatic and its partners.
Cons
- Low max win of 2,100x bet.
- No base game features.
Ding Dong Christmas Bells Slot Review Final Thoughts
I love Christmas, so it pains me to give such a great looking online slot a low score, but unfortunately, it's one of those random feature trigger games which I always feel will cost an absolute fortune to activate.This may not be the case with Ding Dong Christmas Bells, but if you're not in the position to buy the bonus round, find out at your own peril.
