Epic Holiday Party Slots

Many slots would call themselves epic, yet few live up to that name. We can certainly back up the Epic Holiday Party slot as a keen one to check out though. It has lots of superb features and some excellent highlights to look forward to.

Before you play though, we recommend settling back and reading our full review of the game here. You'll soon know all the facts about it before you take your first spin of those reels.

What do we know about the developer?

The game was created by Realtime Gaming. You've likely seen their initials - RTG - next to many other successful slots too, so that bodes well for this one from the start.

Demo details to get things underway

Most RTG slots include a practice version to check out first, and that is reassuringly true with this one as well.

A mix of themes in action

You'd expect a holiday theme, but we're not talking about vacations here. We're talking about Christmas and New Year rolled into one neat package, with celebrations going on across the reels.

Design features in Epic Holiday Party

This one had to present us with a celebratory feel, and it manages to do that nicely. As a modern RTG slot game, we do have the chance to appreciate a decent color palette with lots of neat touches and details throughout. It does immerse you in the experience.

Start playing: Here's what to expect from Epic Holiday Party

You do get five reels for the main game, but there are four stacked symbols - each showing a different partygoer - to the left side of the screen. On the right, you've got the jackpot stack… and there are four of those too.

The main wild in the game is a bag of gold. This can show up on any of the middle three reels. However, there is another wild shaped like a snow globe too. This one only appears on the center reel and if it appears in a winning line, it comes with a multiplier.

The festivities continue with the scatter symbol as well, since this is a Christmas tree decorated for the occasion.

How many paylines?

There are none here because we are using the 243 ways format instead - or All Ways Pays if you prefer.

Look at the bets carefully before you begin

This is always vital but even more so this time. You need to pick a bet to determine whether you will be in the running for a jackpot. If you're not interested in those, you can play from eight cents a spin.

However, each of the characters in that stack on the left of the screen connects to one of the jackpots. If you choose a character, the relevant jackpot comes into play for you and your spin bet goes up in value. Choose the highest-rated one for a bigger bet and the availability of all four jackpots.

Make sure you review the paytable first

This has everything you should know about the game, from the appearance of the symbols to the available prizes. Read all that first to get a feel for what might happen.

Bonus features at the party

There is a lot happening at this party, but that doesn't extend to any bonus features, unfortunately.

You can score some free spins

To do this, you'll need three Christmas trees to show up in one spin. This means you'll get 12 free games to play. According to the info we have about the game, the two wild symbols tend to appear more often during the freebies.

Has RTG released any return to player information?

Sadly no, but that is quite usual for their slots, so we don't expect that to change anytime soon.

Our rating: How good is Epic Holiday Party?

This is a decent slot for sure, but is it epic? We know of plenty of progressive slot games where you play one bet and have a chance of winning all the prizes. In this case, however, you don't get that chance. You must bet more for a chance at those jackpots. This is worth seven points out of 10, but we wouldn't go much higher.

Watch out for news of some winners

Any slot game that has four progressive jackpots to look for must surely hit the casino headlines whenever someone grabs one of those pots. So, we'll let you know when we receive news of those fortunate players.

Play for entertainment and nothing more?

The fact that RTG supplies players with practice versions of their slots is a positive point. We know that we've played demos before and never gone further to try the real version. Sometimes, entertainment is all you want - and you can get it from the Epic Holiday Party slot.

Attend the real party too if you're ready

As a basic slot with no access to jackpots, you're looking at an eight-cent per play slot game. Only you can decide whether it offers enough as a standard slot to play for real or whether you'd rather play for those jackpots as well.

Mobile access? You bet!

As a newer entry into the RTG gaming collection, you can be sure of finding this game to play on tablets and smartphones as well.
