The Top 10 Slots for Christmas 2016
Every year we do our little list, and every year we get a few surprises.
Some of the casino games below keep popping up year after year, others are brand new this season. For those of you who are a little curious, here’s our 2015 Christmas slots, and 2014 best Xmas games.
But why look back when you can look forward to a beautiful Holiday Season, New Year, and (hopefully) Christmas paid for in one lucky spin.
10. Microgaming says: Happy Holidays!
You couldn’t find a more picture perfect holiday season than this Happy Holidays slot game from Microgaming.
Frosty snowmen, children sitting on Father Christmas’s lap, perfect gingerbread houses… this is as Hallmark as you can get.
And a relatively simple 243 ways to win game; which opens up to a 1,024 ways to win during the free spins, massively increasing your chances at some big festive wins.
9. Santa Surprise is 20 paylines full of gifts
Granted, the gifts on these Playtech reels are more stocking gifts, than a brand new HD TV, but sometimes you need games that pay out little and often.
With Santa himself announcing your wins, and ho ho ho’ing in the background, the Santa Surprise mobile slot is all about building anticipation for the season ahead.
Perfect for those of us who want to play festive slots, but don’t have the cash to spare after a big shopping spree.

8. The always sunny Flowers Christmas Edition slot
This may feel like a bit of a cheat for some, but we’ll allow it.
After all, the Flowers slot machine is one of the all time best NetEnt games, so why not add a Christmas theme?
This is one for those who aren’t quite ready to embrace the Holiday Season, but like the idea of playing a wintery snowy slots… hiding a whole set of spring flowers.
One of the few games where you can get 10 of a kind wins over 30 paylines, it’s worth playing – normal or Christmas edition.
7. Celebrate the Holiday Season with Play’n GO
And we are back on more traditional grounds with the Play’n GO Holiday Season video slot, which throws you right into the Christmas party mood, with champagne popping, jelly, gifts, and a naughty Mrs Claus giving you the eye.
It’s a simple game, with generosity right bang in the heart of it, as every win during the free spins round guarantees you a win.
It is one of the riskier Holiday slots on the list, but with a top prize of one million, it’s also one of the few that could actually let you pay off Christmas early.

6. Cheating again with the Fruit Shop Christmas Edition
NetEnt gets on the list again, this time by adding a little snow on their perfectly summery slot Fruit Shop.
Ok, yes, this isn’t technically as Christmassy as the others, but again, it’s one of the best games around, and who doesn’t love frozen fruits?
How good you ask? If you are a free spin bonus game lover, there’s no better – every 1 to 5 spins you get a free re-spin on every single win. Those re-spins come with a 2x multiplier, or 4x multiplier if you hit a wild.
This holiday fruit punch packs one hell of a kick.
5. Taco Brothers Saving Christmas is salsa full of fun!
The Taco Brothers slot game was a runaway hit for Elk Gaming in 2016.
So it makes sense that this game studio provider decided to use their most popular machine to celebrate the festive season.
With a little message from the provider when you load the game, wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, you’ll be smiling beginning to end, thanks to cute graphics, fun features, and quirky storyline.

4. The Chilly Winterberries gets an honourable mention
We love Yggdrasil slot games. Unfortunately they haven’t, as of yet, really created a proper Christmas mobile slot game.
But, no list of top ten 2016 slots would be complete without at least one game from this provider, and the closest we could find was Winterberries.
Which also happens to be one of the best machines, thanks to sticky wins, free re-spins, and increasing multipliers for each reel of symbols.
With beautiful northern light setting, just pretend you’re on your way to Lapland to visit Santa if you need something a little more festive.
3. The simple, but generous, Merry Xmas slot
This 15 payline Play’n GO game won’t be for everyone. For one, it’s probably one of the simplest games on our top Xmas slots list, but that’s kinda part of it’s charm.
With wild symbols that come with multipliers of 2x to 5x, and a click me bonus games that shows up often, this is about the joy of finding a good win on the reels.
And with uniquely hand drawn symbols, from cups of spiced mulled wine, to candles, northern lights and Kris Kringle, you’ll be hoping to catch a 5 of a kind win that will have you believe in Christmas miracles.

2. The Timeless Deck the Halls game
Year after year, the Deck the Halls slot from Microgaming keeps popping up on our list for the best festive reels, for a reason.
Not only does it beautifully encapsulate the festivities, hitting a beautiful balance between ‘giving you big wins’ and ‘keeping you spinning for ages on a very little budget’.
With stacked Santa symbols, and x2 multiplier on the free spins, this is perfect to cosy up to, on a cold winters night.
1. What will you find in the Secrets of Christmas?
Considering this is technically NetEnt’s ‘first’ proper Christmas Festive slot game for mobile and online, it’s impressive that it makes it straight to the top of our 2016 list.
But then, NetEntertainment love nothing more that to surprise us with beautiful machines.
And that’s what you’ll find here, as you glance through a decorated winter pane into a house warm with gifts and secret presents.
What will this Secrets of Christmas slot game give you? Multipliers? Extra Wild Symbols? Free spins galore?
You’ll have to spin to find out.
