Epic Holiday Party Slots

How many holiday parties have you been to that were truly epic? This one might well be, as it takes on the best of Christmas and New Year and rolls it all into one game.

We're going to review this Epic Holiday Party online slot for you here, so if you want to know more ahead of the festive season, grab a mince pie and let's get started.

Do we know who the developer is?

We do - the name is Realtime Gaming. They also go by their initials RTG.

Should we expect a demo version?

We think so, yes - it would be unusual to spot a game from RTG that didn't include one to try.

A real two-in-one theme

We've highlighted this already, with Christmas and New Year both covered in one game. There's a man with a Santa hat on and a red jacket, while fireworks explode in the sky, so it looks like everything is covered.

How good is the design?

It's a nice one because it isn't overly festive. There are some Christmassy touches there, but the focus is on New Year too, so it all mixes in quite nicely. You might spot the Las Vegas touch too, with a cowboy lit up to the left of the reels. The Grand Jackpot (more about that in a second) also takes on a Vegas-style appearance via the sign that promotes it.

How to play Epic Holiday Party

The game has five reels with three symbols appearing on each. On the left of the first reel, there is another section of the game with four symbols on it. This looks intriguing but as the game hasn't been released at the time of writing, we cannot know the role this might play.

We do know there are four jackpots available though. These are all progressive, with three smaller ones appearing above the first reel and the biggest of all appearing above the fifth reel.

Now to the special symbols. RTG has labeled the wild, which depicts a snow globe. This is a multiplier wild. You'll only see this one on the middle reel. Meanwhile, a second wild - showing you a bag of money - appears over reels two, three, and four.

We also get a scatter in this game, shaped like a Christmas tree. Since this is called a FREE GAMES symbol, you can guess how this might work.

How many paylines are in the game?

Early indications are that this has 243 ways to collect prizes, rather than focusing on paylines.

Expect a range of wagers from RTG

All RTG games tend to offer bets that would suit most players. We expect this game to be the same.

Make sure you don't miss the paytable

This reveals all the features in the game, how to trigger them, and what you should expect from each element involved.

The bonus pick part of the game could lead to a jackpot

Details on this are sparse at the time of writing. However, it looks as though a bigger wager will be needed from you to improve your chances of making it through to this round.

Anyone that makes it through will find themselves in a pick feature that could result in one of the jackpots awarded. There are 12 available options, and you must pick each one in turn until three identical jackpots are found. That would be the amount you would receive if you made it this far.

Free spins via the Christmas tree

Find three trees and you can play through 12 free games. These are no ordinary freebies though, as the lower-valued icons are taken away from the reels before the spins begin. If you are fortunate and the festive spirit gets going, you might even trigger another set of spins during the first lot.

RTP details

These are not yet available, and since this game comes from RTG, we doubt they will reveal the value anyway.

Will Epic Holiday Party slots earn a top rating from us?

This game is certainly going to rank highly, but until it is released we'll estimate a score of between 7.5 and 9 out of 10 for this one.

Get ready for news of jackpot winners

The standard game has many prizes held within the paytable. However, the progressive jackpots hold the best potential of all. How big is that Grand Jackpot going to get before someone wins it, we wonder?

Play the demo to find out more

When you access the practice version, you'll see just how a spin could pan out. Make sure you take that opportunity before playing for real.

Will the real version bring you a wonderful gift?

We sure do hope one of those jackpots comes your way, but regardless of what happens, we expect the game to offer low minimum wagers in real play mode.

Mobile access is fine as well

Yes, you can load this new slot game onto your Android or iOS handset if you prefer. Tablets and smartphones are fine on both platforms.
