Find out what presents await in Gaming Corps’ latest Smash4Cash™ title, Xmas Unwrapped.
Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game studio based in Sweden, is proud to announce the release of its latest Smash4Cash™ game, Xmas Unwrapped.
Thanks to the innovative team at Gaming Corps, Christmas has arrived early this year with the release of Xmas Unwrapped. This highly engaging title challenges players to smash open beautifully wrapped presents to discover festive treats worth up to 5,000x their stake and a selection of joyous bonus features.
The game invites players to settle in for some cosy holiday fun around the Christmas tree. They will encounter a single Christmas gift, with two rows of three presents on either side. The aim of the game is simple: unwrap the present and get your hands on the festive surprises inside.
It is just not cash prizes that players can unwrap. After opening a present, the Multiplier feature can be activated. A random Multiplier will be revealed, and it will then be applied to the next present that is opened.
The Rampage feature can also be unwrapped. This sees automatic attempts to open presents, with two or more presents guaranteed to enter during the round. Those lucky enough to be super high on the nice list might trigger the Multiplier Rampage mode, which combines the two.
There is also the possibility of opening an instant-win prize. Six can be won: the Mini, Minor, Major, Mega, Grand, and Super, which are worth 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 500x, and 5,000x the player’s stake, respectively.
Xmas Unwrapped also allows players to bump their way up the nice list and unlock the bonus features using the Feature Buy Mechanic.
Xmas Unwrapped is the latest title to utilise Gaming Corps’ popular Smash4Cash™mechanic, following in the footsteps of big hits like Buffalo Smash4Cash™ and Piggy Smash Smash4Cash™.
Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, said: “At Gaming Corps, we love getting in the festive spirit and releasing a brand-new Xmas-themed title has become a holiday tradition for us.
The Smash4Cash™ is one of our flagship features, and what better time to treat our customers to another dose of Smash4Cash™ fun than Christmas?”
