Game Overview
We’re not even done with October yet, and I feel like I’ve reviewed more Christmas-themed slot releases from Pragmatic Play than there are chocolates in an advent calendar. I’m not complaining as it ‘tis the season to be jolly’…well, it is in another couple of months. What we have from Penguins Christmas Party Time is fairly self-explanatory from its title – we’re witnessing a bunch of penguins having a a bit of a knees up to celebrate Christmas. For me, that throws up images of a dancefloor containing drunk penguins doing the ‘waddle’. Anyway, let’s get on with this. Penguins Christmas Party Time is a 5-reel and 3-row slot with 25 paylines, a paltry 2,000x the stake maximum win, and a 96.54% RTP.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much of a party in the base game, as there are no notable features to discuss. Things liven up once you trigger the free spins bonus, as now there are three different modifiers you can unlock to go along with it. One will award random 2x multipliers and can deliver re-triggers; another guarantees full wild reels every spin; the final modifier could re-trigger the bonus with a win multiplier of up to 10x.
Excited for Christmas and want to get in the festive mood early? Then go join this rowdy bunch of cold-loving animals on the Penguins Christmas Party Time slot demo.
Gameplay & Features
A 5×3 slot matrix is in play on Penguins Christmas Party Time, and there are 10 paylines waiting to create your winning combinations. If you land 3 to 5 matching symbols across one of those winning ways, you’ll receive a payout according to the paytable.
Free Spins Bonus
Land scatter symbols on the first, third, and fifth reels simultaneously, and you’ll receive 10 free spins. Before they start to play out, you’re first tasked with picking 1 of 3 balloons to determine a modifier for the bonus game:
- Snowball Booster: Awards random symbols with a 2x win multiplier on every spin. Additionally, reels can be marked with snow, and should that happen to all five, you receive an additional 10 free spins.
- Wild Party: Each spin will reveal at least one reel full of wild symbols.
- Boogie Pack: Triggers a spin of a wheel at the end of the free spins. That wheel could trigger another 10 spins, now with a random win multiplier of between 2x and 8x. Obviously, if the wheel doesn’t trigger more spins, that’s the end of your fun.
Ante Bet & Bonus Buy
- Ante Bet: By paying double your current spin bet, you have double the chance to trigger the free spins bonus.
- Bonus Buy: You can purchase entry into the free spins bonus for 100x your current stake.
Pros
- A wide betting range to suit all budgets.
- It’s better than a few other Xmas slots recently launched by Pragmatic Play.
Cons
- A paltry 2,000x the stake maximum win.
- A dull base game.
Penguins Christmas Party Time Slot Review Final Thoughts
In short, decidedly average. If you’re able to stick around long enough to trigger it or just get fed up enough to buy it - the free spins bonus is okay. Well, depending on the modifier. In my opinion, the Snowball Booster is the one to go for. During my testing, it re-triggered the bonus 4 times, although I still only recouped half of what it cost to buy it.
