Christmas is coming, here are the top 3 Christmas themed slot games
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! While some people have not thought yet about putting up their Christmas trees, others already have the tree fully set up. Retail stores are also slowly getting their Christmas decorations up and running.
The same goes for online casinos: While some operators are setting up Christmas-themed promotions, providers will create Christmas-themed slot games. While some people like their Christmas novels, we like our Christmas slots.
Here are our top 3 Christmas themed slot games you have to try out:
3. Sweet Bonanza Xmas
Provider: Pragmatic
RTP: 95.5%
Sweet Bonanza has a 6 column with 5 rows and no pay lines: instead, you need at least 8 of the same symbol anywhere on the grid. Doing so will cause the symbols to disappear and make room for new ones, this repeats until no further winning combinations can be made.
Collecting 4 Scatter symbols (or buying it for 100x the stake) triggers the bonus game: 10 spins where multipliers can appear and will be counted towards that spin. Collecting 3 or more scatters during the bonus game gives you 5 extra spins
Sweet Bonanza has always been a popular game, given its unique set of rules. The Xmas variation is regarding gameplay an exact copy of its predecessor, bar a few changes.
The music sounds a bit more like Christmas, the background is Christmas-themed and all the symbols have a layer of snow over them. Overall, a great game and a Christmas classic slot. You should definitely try this one out, preferably on a pay n play casino where you get access to games ultra fast.
2. Santa’s Stack
1. Fat Santa
Provider: Push Gaming
RTP: 96.45%
Fat Santa is an older entry on this list but has been one of the many popular slot games released by Push Gaming in 2018. Fat Santa plays exactly like Fat Rabbit, which was released earlier in 2018, and newly released Fat Drac.
In Fat Santa you try to collect wins on a 5×5 grid with 50 pay lines, going from left to right. All the symbols perfectly help players get in the Christmas mood. Occasionally the Santa’s Sleigh Feature might occur, filling the grid with wilds on random positions.
The most important symbol in Fat Santa is… Fat Santa. If he appears together with a pie symbol, the bonus game starts, where the wild Santa symbol expands as he eats more pies. This can potentially fill the whole board with a 5×5 wild symbol, generating a 1000x win for every remaining spin in the end.
These slots have the potential to make Christmas extra special this year. It is also very easy to start playing in mere seconds on these Christmas-themed and other slots through a Pay n Play casino.

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona
The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”
January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
