It’s that time of year again; 2023 is drawing to a close, vacation plans are being rolled out, and casino software providers are releasing their colourful collections of holiday video slots.

We have four incredible new casino games to enjoy, including the reveal of Popiplay's entertaining Xmas Crash online slot to get you in the mood for the festive season. Settle in for a gift bag full of bonus rounds, cascading reels, jackpot prizes, and Free Spins.

✓ Xmas Crash Slot

Founded in 2022, Popiplay has proven to be an incredibly talented and player-centric casino game developer. The Scandinavian gaming company has released a highly entertaining new festive slot, Xmas Crash, where you can hang out with Santa and his reindeer as they relax at the water park before their big night out!

To immerse you in this unique blend of fun in the sun and Xmas cheer the Popiplay creative team has filled the reels with clever symbols. The symbol of Santa relaxing in an inflatable pool ring with a cigar is both the Scatter and the highest paying in the game. The medium-value symbols comprise a reindeer on a pool chair, an elf doing a handstand in water, a sleigh used as a dart board, a floating Xmas tree, a six-pack of beers, and a snow globe. The slot's low-paying symbols are green, silver, and pink Xmas bulbs.

1. Developer: Popiplay
2. Reel Layout: 6x5
3. Bet Spread: €0.20 - €12.00
4. Volatility: High
5. Max Win: 15,000x

The developer has loaded the slot machine with engaging features and bonus rounds to keep you engaged from your first spin to the last one. The first exciting addition was the decision to include cascading reels, which can see you string together several consecutive winning paylines from a single spin.

The Free Spins feature is triggered by collecting three or more Scatter symbols and rewards you with up to 30 free games. You can boost your number of free spins by collecting additional scatter symbols during the bonus round.

You will also notice special Multiplier symbols appearing on the reels during the Free Spins feature. These golden treasure boxes contain win multipliers of up to x100. The symbol is sticky and remains on the reels until the end of the Refill sequence, at which time it will total up all the winning combinations.

The final special feature Popiplay included is the option to trigger the Free Spins round. The Free Spins cost 100 times your bet to buy, or you can increase your bet by 25% to increase your chance of “naturally” triggering the feature.

If you manage to vibe with Santa and his crew, you could see yourself opening your Xmas present to find up 15,000 times your bet waiting for you.

These modifiers will add more Fish symbols to the reels, add more Wild symbols, increase the chances of hitting high-paying symbols, begin at level 2 of the progressive feature, and reward you with two bonus spins!
