Xmas Spark (Pragmatic Play) Slot Demo & Review

I never learn. Every year, I leave Christmas shopping to the last minute, and it looks like I’ll make the same mistake this year. I have thus far bought zero gifts and do not even know what I am getting for anyone. When I get around to it, I’ll moan to the girlfriend about how busy it is and that we should have done all this in November. The only thing I have done that is anywhere relatable to Christmas is write slot reviews such as this latest one. The slot in question this time around is Pragmatic Play’s Xmas Spark, a 6-reel and 5-row scatter pays slot that carries a 96.08% RTP, a 10,000x top win, and a jolly Christmas theme.

Once you unwrap Xmas Spark, you’ll come across a tumble feature that compliments its scatter pays mechanic, a multiplier reel that can deliver win multipliers of up to 500x and a free spins bonus round where up to 14 initial spins can be awarded. If you are fortunate enough to live in regions that allow it, this slot also has a buy bonus feature that lets you skip the base game and dive straight into the free spins bonus at a cost of 100x the current bet.

If you want to get into the festive spirit early, why not try the Xmas Spark slot demo below? You can test the features and take in the Christmas theme for free. You never know; it might raise your spirits so much that you end up having a cheeky little brandy and a mince pie whilst you’re playing.

You’ll never find yourself short of Christmas-themed slots to check out at online casinos or here on our demo platform, especially during the festive season, Tis the season to be jolly, after all. If you’re interested in other Xmas slot options other than today’s review of Xmas Spark, I’d recommend you check out JinglePop from AvatarUX, Nolimit City’s Jingle Balls slot, and Jingle Winner from Inspired Gaming. Those are three of the most recent Christmas-themed slots I have reviewed here at Demoslot, and I must admit I enjoyed all of them for one reason or another, but I am a sucker for Christmas, so you could argue I am easily pleased.

Will Xmas Spark impress me as much? Let’s find out. First, I want to go through the symbols and payouts we can expect to find when playing this slot. Mr Claus takes the top spot as the highest paying symbol, paying 50x the stake for 12 or more symbols in view. His Little Helper, Rudolph, a Teddy Bear, and a Toy Train follow next, bringing rewards of up to 10x, 5x, 4x, and 3x, respectively. At the lower end of the scale are the Spades, Hearts, Clubs, and Diamonds playing card symbols that pay up to 2.5x, 1.5x, 1x, and 0.75x, respectively, if 12+ symbols are part of a winning combination.

Whether you choose to spin the reels on Pragmatic Play’s Xmas Spark slot demo or the real money version, you can place bets between a minimum stake of €0.20 and a staggering maximum of €240.00.


Xmas Spark Slot Base Game

Xmas Spark Base Game
Xmas Spark base game

Pragmatic Play has a penchant for creating scatter pays slots, and Xmas Spark is yet another to follow in the long line of titles like Gates of Olympus 1000 and Starlight Princess 1000. You’ll collect payouts on Xmas Spark whenever 8 or more matching symbols land in any position across the 6×5 reel formation. After a winning combination, the symbols involved in the win will vanish, and new symbols will drop in from above, giving the potential for a chain reaction of tumble wins to occur from just one paid spin.


Multiplier Reel

To the right of the reels is a multiplier wheel that, on every spin, will hold up to five multiplier values. The values that can appear are 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, and 500x. Some of the symbols hold no multiplier values at all. After a winning combination, the multiplier in the bottom position on the Multiplier Reel will apply to your payout. That multiplier drops off the screen, and the symbol above drops into its place. If another winning combination drops in via the tumble, another multiplier in that position will apply to the win. This process continues until there are no more tumble wins.


Xmas Spark Slot Bonus Features

Castle Of Fire Free Spins Feature

You’ll trigger the bonus round on Xmas Spark if you land 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols in the base game, with 10, 12, and 14 free spins being awarded, respectively.


Free Spins

You’ll notice there is not much difference between the free spins and the base game spins. However, the minimum multiplier possible in the bonus round on the Multiplier Reel is now 2x. You can also receive 5, 8, or 10 additional free spins whenever 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols land anywhere in view.


Bonus Buy

Those players who can utilise the bonus buy option can get instant access to the free spins feature for the cost of 100x the current bet.


Pros

  • Two sets of reels add something different.
  • A solid if unspectacular free spins bonus

Cons

  • The theme may not suit some players.

Xmas Spark Slot Review Final Thoughts

If, like me, you had a familiar feeling when playing the Xmas Spark slot, there’s a reason for that. It is essentially the same game as Candy Blitz. Yes, Pragmatic Play has done the age-old trick of whacking a Christmas theme onto a tried and tested previous release and giving it a different name. So, if you enjoyed playing that game in the past, it's worth giving this one a whirl too.
