Before you begin singing Christmas songs, it is important to set your bet first. You can do this by clicking on the Line Bet option which controls the coin sizes ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. The next step is to use the spin option to set the reels in motion after choosing your betting range. If you are feeling lazy, use the Auto Spin feature to spin the reels for a specific number of times without interruption.
About The Nutcracker
The Nutcracker was released in November 2018. It was inspired by the animated movie entitled the “The Nutcracker Prince”, and the story was created by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and E. T. A. Hoffmann. It is centered on a Christmas battle between toy soldiers and the minions of a mouse king. This battle was later won by the toy soldiers with the help of a girl and her nutcracker whose involvement in the whole plot is somewhat mystical.
Although the movie was released in the 90s, it has generated different versions of video slot games from various providers. One of these versions is The Nutcracker slot game, developed by iSoftbet. This perfectly incorporates the character of the Nutcracker into the slot. This character comes alive during gameplay when certain symbol combinations appear. The color theme is a combination of red and gold with a backdrop showing a castle with its roof covered in snow.
Slot technicalities
The Nutcracker video slot symbols are arranged in five reels and three rows. These reels are filled with a variety of symbols ranging from alphabet letters, toy soldiers, a Sugarplum Fairy, and the Nutcracker. Your earning potential depends on the different combinations of these symbols. The most important ones among these symbols are the Scatter symbols that are represented by the Sugarplum Princess, and the Wild symbol, which is represented by the Nutcracker. During gameplay, the Wild symbol can replace any other symbol on the reels to create a higher winning potential as you continue spinning. However, it cannot replace the Sugarplum Fairy, which is the Scatter.
The Scatter symbols play a major role in also increasing the winning potential of the game. It is the icing on the cake for this iSoftbet game. The Scatter symbols are quite rare, but a combination of them during a spin will result in amazing bonus games and free spins. That is why this symbol is so special. As for the highest paying symbols, the Mouse King tops the list, after which is Clara, a toy train, and a teddy bear. As for low paying symbols, playing card images are used. Of all the paying symbols, the playing cards are the easiest to come by.
Slot special functions
As said earlier, the Scatter symbols trigger free spins. If you land 5, 4 or 3 Sugarplum Fairy symbols anywhere on the reels, it will trigger 30, 20 or 10 free spins respectively. If during the bonus game another Scatter appears, it will also add extra spins to what you have available.
You can also gain access to the bonus features of this game when Wild symbols pop up. This occurs mostly on the 3rd reel. However, if you land Wild symbols on 3 reels, you get to pick from a Christmas gift to win 5, 7, 8 or 10 free spins.
If the Nutcracker Wild symbol covers the whole 3rd reel during the bonus game, this will increase the multiplier by 1x. The increase continues when you land another complete set of Wilds on reel three. The good thing is that the increase can be as high as 10x.
In addition to the increase in the multiplier, you also have access to free spins which can be 5, 7, 8 or 10 free falls with the Nutcracker, which is a stacked multiplier. Imagine having a combination of all these bonuses in just a few spins.
Slot tips and tricks
Before jumping right into the fun and excitement, it is important to consider some key tips and tricks to help you win. After all, the main reason for playing is to actually win.
- The first tip is to try out the slot's free version. The Nutcracker offers a free play feature where you can test the slot and your skills without using your real money
