Penguins Christmas Party Time

If you look at the names of the Free Spins bonuses, things are really heating up, but with old vibes. Namely, they are “Wild Party,” “Boogie Back” and “Snowball Booster. Which one you can play depends on which balloon you choose.

Although the slot is classified as very volatile, you can only win up to 2,000 times your bet. The high RTP of 96.54% should then hopefully make up for this. So, how Penguins Christmas Party Time comes out of the test, you can read in this slot machine review.

How to Play Penguins Christmas Party Time

Penguins Christmas Party Time has a standard 5 reels and 3 rows playfield. Stakes range from a very low $0.05 to $250 if your wallet can bear it. Because of this we expected 5 paylines, but there are 25 solid ones to collect combinations on.

With three matching balloons or partying penguins from left to right on any of the paylines, you have a prize. In the case of the card balloons, that yields 0.20 to 0.80 or 0.40 to 2 times your bet. The blue penguin in a present gives up to 4 times your bet, the green one with cake up to 10 times your bet and the red one with a bottle of bubbles up to 1,000 times your bet.

There is also a Wild disco ball that replaces the 8 paying symbols. Starting from three, the symbol imitates the payouts of the red penguin.

Bonus features of Penguins Christmas Party Time

In terms of bonus features, Penguins Christmas Party Time has very little to offer. The only thing is that you can trigger the Free Spins bonus. What it does and how to trigger it, we explain to you below.

Free Spins Bonus

On reels 1, 3 and 5 there is also a Scatter symbol in the form of three golden balloons. If you grab all three, the balloons really fly across your screen and you get to choose one. This will win you 10 Free Spins with a Snowball Booster, Wild Party or Boogie Back feature.

Snowball Booster

In this bonus game, a crazy penguin swings across the playing field to throw as many snowballs as possible. The spaces where these land receive a x2 Multiplier. Each winning combination you may increase by the Multiplier used. Moreover, you may multiply them by each other when there are several of them. That is, up to x32 when there are five of them.
Occasionally the reels turn into blocks of ice. If you manage to cool down each reel in this way, you’ll get an extra 10 free spins just like that.

They also celebrate Christmas at the South Pole. With Penguins Christmas Party Time you party lavishly with some enthusiastic penguins.

Wild Party

This Free Spins bonus involves bringing out the party cannon. Each spin you get at least 1 reel completely filled with Wilds. There can also be more, which of course increases the chance of better winnings.

Boogie Back

Here it’s not regular spins, but Rewind Spins. This simply means that the reels spin in reverse, nothing more. At the end of the 10 spins, you get to spin a record. This will stop or continue the bonus game with 10 new spins and a Multiplier of x2, x3, x5 or x8.

Ante Bet and Bonus Buy

Sometimes the bonus games follow each other in quick succession, other times you have to play for a long time before you get to choose from the balloons. You can speed this up by paying 2 times your bet with the Ante Bet. This also doubles your chance of winning a bonus round.

With the Buy Free Spins button you choose a total inside track. It will cost you 100 times the bet to get straight into the Free Spins bonus.

Penguins Christmas Party Time vs. 4 different slots from Pragmatic Play

What is our opinion of the Penguins Christmas Party Time slot machine?

Although Pragmatic Play is a very popular provider, the games are not often of very high quality as you will see while gambling at ground casinos. When you see that it is a slot from Reel Kingdom, it usually takes another step backwards. And indeed, Penguins Christmas Party Time is also not a high-flyer at all.

In all areas, the slot falls short. You almost never win anything significant because only the red champagne penguin can win something. With 1,000 times your stake, that’s half the maximum amount you can win.

Next, the slot machine disappoints with its ugly graphics, boring animations and slow gameplay. But it is the music that really ruins everything.
