Plenty of Presents

For a shot of Christmas cheer, Plenty of Presents is a pretty satisfying option. It offers a nice look and feel of the season, a jolly vibe, plus plenty of men in red suits. The background has a hazy, almost nostalgic appearance to it, where you can almost remember the feeling of being a yoof again, not wanting to go to bed, but stay up as late as possible to see Santa arrive and fill your stocking with the toys you've been badgering your guardians for all year. In other words, Plenty of Presents is like a slot version of those ads they put on telly around Christmas time, from companies like Coca Cola to pull on the heartstrings. It kind of works if you put in a bit of imagination. The gameplay isn't bad either. Fairly basic, but the wild multipliers occasionally pull off something special. Like Wolf Howl, there is a titanic technicality players need to be aware of before having their hopes and dreams crushed, which is this. In free spins, when Santa scatters convert symbols into wild multipliers or upgrade multipliers, a win evaluation does not immediately take place. When symbols are converted, they simply remain on the reels and may land on later spins. The first time this occurs, when wild multipliers appear across the reels in great numbers, it's easy to start hearing cha-ching noises. Then… the reels just start spinning again. Being aware of this upfront should minimise any future disappointment should you choose to play Plenty of Presents. Those added wild multipliers can come handy later in the round, though, and potential is impressive. Like Christmas Day, Plenty of Presents can serve up decent moments; it's just that tempering expectations over what converted wild multipliers do helps avoid disappointment.
