Play Christmas Slot Games at Slots of Vegas
Posted by: Dave on: 30 Nov, 2011
In keeping with my holiday themed posts, I thought that I would show you some of my favorite Christmas slots. I am going to highlight four slot machines and you can play all of these at my new favorite place to play online slots – Slots of Vegas.
Revenge of the Rudolph
Revenge of the Rudolph is one of the more complex video slots that I have encountered. That’s doesn’t surprise my because it is brand new and they are continually trying to add more options and features for regular slots players.
This means if you are relatively new to slots, you will have to pay attention to the rules for Revenge of the Rudolph below or you are likely going to be confused.
Let’s take this screenshot for example. There is just way too much going on without having any instructions. So let’s break this down in manageable pieces:
Winning a Payline
There are 50 paylines that you are betting on when you use Max Bet. Each payline pays when symbols match from left (Reel 1) to right (Reel 5). The majority of symbols will need at least 3 matching on a payline in order to win money on that payline. You will win more if you have 4 or 5 matching symbols on a payline.
The 9 through A are the lowest ranking symbols. The broken toy and elf also need 3 matching and are considered low ranking. The other four symbols (Santa, Mrs Claus, Workshop and Sleigh) are higher ranking symbols and only need 2 matching symbols to win on a payline.
Substitute
If you have played a video slot machine before, you will be familiar with the Substitute which is this game is Rudolph. He can be used to substitute for all other symbols except for the Scatter Thugs symbol. This makes Rudolph a wild card.
The 3rd reel (middle) has 3 Rudolph symbols connected together. If all 3 Rudolphs appear, he will expand on that reel and all prizes will be tripled that include a Substitute.
Scatter
The Scatter is the only symbol that does not need to be on a payline in order to win. In Revenge of the Rudolph, the scatter is the Thugs. You will win a multiple of your total bet if you receive 3 or more Thugs anywhere on the reels.
When you get 3 or 4 Thugs scatters, you will also trigger one of three bonus features:
1) Rudolph’s Revenge Feature
This is the most basic of the bonus features. You will receive 7 free games and all prizes will be doubled. You can receive an additional 7 free games if 3 or 4 Thugs appear again.
If you receive 4 Scatters when you triggered this feature, any Scatter Thugs will be turned into a Substitute Rudolph during the 7 free games.
2) Santa Strikes Back Feature

The Santa Strikes Back feature will give you 7 spins to light up all 5 Stars above each reel. If you light up all 5 stars before the 7 spins are up, you will receive 7 spins and the feature will be reset.
You will receive a Candy Cane in the upper-right corner of the Substitute (Rudolph), Scatter (Thugs) and Santa symbol. When you receive a Candy Cane, the Star will light up on the reel above the Candy Cane.
When you have one remaining Star to light up, the reels will go really fast. You will have the option to manually stop the reel or let the reel stop on its own. If you are going to stop the reel yourself, look for the symbols that have a Square Border because these are the winning symbols.
3) Rudolph’s Rampage

There are 3 Elves hiding in 3 of the 8 hiding spots that are highlighted. When you select a hiding spot, you will either see a No Elf sign or an Elf will appear.
The less picks it takes to reveal the 3 elves, the more free games you will be awarded with. This is between 50 (for getting all 3 perfect) and 5 (for taking 8 turns to get all 3)
If an Elf is holding a Red Present, the Thugs will be changed to Rudolph during the Free Spins. If an Elf is holding a Blue Present, all prizes a 4x during free games. If an Elf is holding a Green Present, Rudolph will expand on reel 3 during all free games.
I received 5 Scatter Thugs
Well congratulations because you just won the jackpot!
Other Christmas Slots at Slots of Vegas
These first two games are the predecessors of Return of the Rudolph. I’m going to go through these rest of these fairly quickly. The three Christmas slots below don’t have nearly as many options and features. This will make these slot machines easier for a beginner to understand.
Santa Strikes Back

Rudolph’s Revenge
