About Mad 4 Xmas
Espresso Games’ Mad 4 Xmas slot asks you to choose your coin values right before you begin playing, so you’ll need to have a good idea of how much you want to spend. Coin sizes of 0.01 up to 2.00 can be selected, and that will alter how the game is setup. Underneath the reels of this simple Christmas themed slot, players will be able to choose to wager on either 9, or 18 paylines all. Up to 5 coins can be staked per line. Depending on the value of the coins you have chosen, your minimum wager could be worth as little as 0.09 per spin, or it could be as high as 108.00 per spin. Either way, your top prize is going be worth a non-progressive 10,000 coins.
Special Features
Mad 4 Xmas features Santa as its wild icon. When this symbol appears on the reels, it will substitute itself for the gingerbread man, bells, candy canes, and bauble icons in the slot. It won’t substitute for the scatter or bonus icons.
The scatter icon is the snowman. Should this icon appear 3, 4, or 5 times in any positions on the reels, it will offer you scattered wins worth 5x, 10x, or 50x your total bet, respectively. Scatter icons do not trigger a free spins bonus round, or any kind of bonus round for that matter, in this slot.
Instead, a bonus icon will do that for you. Bonus icons take the shape of Christmas trees.
Bonus Feature
Mad 4 Xmas’s Christmas tree bonus icon can only appear on the first, and fifth reels of the slot. If it appears on both reels at the same time, you will trigger a free spins bonus round. At the very least, you are going to be awarded 3 free spins, with all of your winnings being doubled. At most, you could win as many as 20 free spins, with all of your winnings being multiplied by 10x their normal rate of pay. The latter doesn’t happen often, though.
The special features and gameplay of Mad 4 Xmas is a bit dated, and perhaps not as up to scratch as some of the other Christmas themed slots, but Christmas only comes once a year. Given that, it may well be worth sneaking downstairs and sitting in front of the fire to give a whirl.
