Just in time for the holidays is a new online slot review from the well-known developer, ‘Just For The Win’, who delivers Piles of Presents. That's right, if the idea of a pile of presents (in this case, your winnings) appeals to you, then you're going to want to check it out. As you would expect, the Christmas theme is in full effect, adding another layer of fun to the game. Let's take a deep dive into what makes Piles of Presents a must-play game over the holiday season.
From the moment you launch Piles of Presents, it’s clear that Just For The Win is drawing on all their experience of delivering hit after hit to wow players with yet another new offering. Everything feels sleek, user-friendly, eye-catching, and overall, just a whole lot of fun.
We need to take a moment and just appreciate the theme to its fullest because let's face it, this is a fabulous way to put you in the holiday spirit. The backing imagery is warm and cozy and features a fireplace mantle with the stockings hung, a festive garland, and the fire blazing. There is also a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and just as you'd expect, a pile of presents. It looks like the ultimate Christmas Eve backdrop.
The theme continues seamlessly on the playing grid with symbols such as the Nutcracker prince, drums, a teddy bear, a toy train, Santa, and more.
If the theme isn't enough to get you hooked, then the gaming stats probably will do the trick. The board is laid out with five reels and three rows delivering 20 paylines. It's rather standard in that sense but it also makes it easy to watch for wins. There is a range for the RTP of 96.17%, 94.16%, and 92.06%, a hit frequency of 27.04%, and the volatility has been classified as high.
Players can place a minimum bet of $0.20 and a maximum of $50, and there is a maximum win of 5,000 times the stake. This provides players with a very forgiving betting spread so it will appeal to all types of players.
So, we know the theme is on-point, and the gaming statistics are relatively standard yet still impressive, but what about the special features and bonuses? You won’t be disappointed here, which means this one is a true home run hit.
The Christmas Wheel is where all the fun is and can be triggered at various points. When this happens you have a chance to spin and win the mega jackpot which is worth a maximum of 5,000 times the stake. There are other jackpots as well, with lower values, which are the mini, minor or major. Santa's free spins are another special feature that can lead to extra spins, a multiplier, or a symbol upgrade.
We are only just scratching the surface of the festive fun Piles of Presents delivers, as this game needs to be played to be fully appreciated.
