With Christmas around the corner, we’ve got word from Santa himself (or well at least the head of department), and it’s the ultimate decision – which slots are naughty and which slots are nice! We’re going to chat about all the wonderful heroes and feel-good slots that fall under the ‘nice’ list first, and then head into those wildly fun slots some could call naughty. Now when we say naughty, we don’t mean they deserve a lump of coal – it’s more like these cool slots need nobody’s approval, owing to the fact that they’re awesome in their own right, and of course, a little on the wild side.
Let’s get started on the nice list!
Nice Pragmatic Slots
Twilight Princess Demo
Starting with an indisputably nice slot, the magical princess in Twilight Princess demo seems to have a permanent spot if Santa’s nice list! Symbols pay in clusters of at least 5 of the same kind connected on the reels, and they can be multiplied by Wilds up to 10x. The Scatters activate the Free Spins round like many Pragmatic Slots – 3 is the magic number. The Free Spin round provides us with a little bit of a giveaway of the Princess’ kindness, as she insists on keeping Wild Symbols on the grid until the round is over! In this beautiful free slot, you can win up to 7500x your original bet.
So, what makes this Pragmatic slot lead the nice list are the following perks:
- Dreamy graphics
