How to play the Ghosts of Christmas?

The rules are super easy, much like those of any other slot. You should start with placing a bet. We recommend that you be wise and place a bet according to your budget. However, if it’s the last thing that bothers you, you can go all out and push the max bet button to get the highest payouts.

Look at the game panel. There you see your total bankroll, bet value per line, number of lines, and your current win. Use + and – signs to adjust the bet. As you feel ready, click the spin button to start the game. You can also play it automatically by clicking autospin and choosing several spins.

Special Features

Although payout percentage may seem low (92.33%), it doesn’t mean a thing when you discover the special features of this game. Apart from the typical slot features like high paying symbols, wilds, and scatters, the slot has three bonus rounds according to the number of thematic ghosts of Christmas.

Wild symbol. It stands out for regular symbols if the formed combination is winning.
Scatter. As usual, three scatters can trigger a bonus game with up to 15 free rounds described below.
Marley’s free games. In the beginning, you need to choose an amount of spins that you will play for free. It can be 5, 10, or 15. It depends on a random number under the symbol you click on. All wins are multiplied by 3. In addition, you can retrigger 10 free spins in the same way – by collecting three scatters.
Ghosts of Christmas bonus rounds. Three or more bonus symbols on an active pay-line start the bonus game. Your task is to pick prizes. Can it be ever better? However, the number of prizes equals the number of bonus symbols you collected in the main game. The bonus round has three themes according to the ghosts of the Past, Present, and of course the Future. The rules are practically the same in each game: to choose desks (Past), gifts (Present), or headstones (Future). All of them hide cash prizes.
