The new Carol of the Elves online slot from Yggdrasil Gaming is a Christmas-themed slot that first arrived at some of our featured UK online casinos in early December. It has 5 expanding reels and anywhere from 45 different ways to win per spin up to a maximum of 3,125 win ways. It’s playable from £0.10 up to £150.00 per spin, and on any lucky spin, it’s possible to win up to 5,800x times your total stake.

When you take your first spin, you’ll notice that the active symbol positions are laid out in a 1-3-5-3-1 grid. Each time a new winning combo forms, you’ll get a Magic Star, which destroys some of the blocked symbols to unlock more win ways. You will also now receive one free respin. Each successive spin will unlock even more blocked symbol positions.

For example, after your first respin, you’ll be playing with 125 active win ways. After your second successive respin, you’ll be playing with 1,875 active win ways, and after your third successive respin, you’ll be playing with the full 3,125 active win ways. On a non-winning spin, the reels will revert to the 1-3-5-3-1 layout with 45 win ways.

If you do manage to unlock all 3,125 win ways, a special Prize Multiplier will also kick into action. You will start with a 2X Multiplier on the next respin, and this can increase by continuing to collect the Magic Stars. Each time a subsequent winning combo that contains Green, Blue or Teal Symbols, a section of the respective meter will be filled. As soon as you have filled one of these metres to the top, the active prize multiplier will increase by one value. You can also win extra lives, so when a non-winning spin occurs, the reels and the number of active win ways won’t revert back to normal. It will only happen when you have zero lives left.
