Feel the festive spirit with ‘A Winter’s Tale’, bringing enough warmth and wins to keep the chill out.
What comes to mind when you think about Christmas? For Blue Guru Games it means a roaring fire, hot chocolate, pillowy soft snow, and a healthy dose of Christmas carols. ‘A Winter’s Tale’ is leading the Christmas conga line of seasonal slot games. The five reel, 20 payline game doles out piles of presents in the form of re-spins and free spins. This mellow, medium volatility game comes with a tidy top prize of over 1,400 times the bet, and plenty of wins along the way.
Blue Guru’s game designers went full throttle on all things Yuletide. ‘A Winter’s Tale’ is just what it says on the tin – an unapologetic tribute to Christmas, embracing every seasonal symbol, and providing the perfect tonic for the chilly winter months. While spinning the beautifully frosted reels, you might forget what you came for, but the frequently triggered special features will quickly jog your memory.
The re-spin feature means that every scatter symbol will trigger an instant re-spin, giving you multiple chances to cash in for free each time you spin the reels. Fill the flickering lantern with scatters to unwrap a huge pile of gift-wrapped prizes that include multipliers, cash wins or instant access to the Sticky Wilds Bonus Game. This free games feature is massively rewarding, thanks to Wilds that lock in place throughout the spins. If you don’t want to wait around, the Bonus Buy feature allows you to buy into both the Sticky Wild Bonus Game and the Gift-Wrapping Bonus. The game’s overall effect is magically interactive and immersive.
Kick start your Christmas today with ‘A Winter’s Tale’, and spin for wins against an animated backdrop, where snow is falling, lights are twinkling, and Santa’s pulling a sleigh piled with gifts to a cheerful Yuletide soundtrack.
Kristian Hassall, Commercial Manager at Blue Guru said: “We wanted to create a seasonal slot that welcomes all the warmth and wistful nostalgia that a traditional Christmas brings. A Winter’s Tale transports players to a true Nordic festive atmosphere, slipping in frequent opportunities to maximise wins on every single spin.”

We can’t wait for the top players to enter the live stage at Velodrom and feel that phenomenal atmosphere once again.”
Dota 2 teams from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North America, South America, Southeast Asia, and China can look forward to a spectacular conclusion of the DPC Spring Tour 2022-2023. The two to four best teams of each region will travel to Berlin, Germany, as they qualify for the ESL One Dota 2 Major.

Here, the participating teams will be split into two groups of nine teams and compete in a studio environment. The top six teams of each group proceed to the double-elimination Playoff Stage which takes place in front of a live audience at Velodrom in Berlin, on May 5 – 7, 2023.
