New RTG Online Casino Game: Epic Holiday Party
It’s the time of year for office holiday parties. They may be more subdued during the 2020 holiday season because…well…the pandemic still lingers. In most years, though, holiday parties are a chance to let loose with coworkers and take advantage of the free food and drinks.
Granted, it doesn’t always turn out well. Those free drinks and holiday cheer can create some awkward situations. But most times, people have a great time celebrating the season with coworkers.
What if the boss took everyone to Las Vegas for that holiday party? That could go really well…or not.
Realtime Gaming put that scenario into one of its latest online slot games called Epic Holiday Party.
A Truly Epic Holiday Party
The neon signs in the background are iconic and located in Las Vegas. There are fireworks. And there are holiday gifts above the grid at all times.
Holiday music serves as the background. It is actually a fairly mellow tune punctuated by jingle bells.
The game certainly holds close to stereotypes and wild dreams about working women. And Santa is the only one of the main characters wearing a suit and not showing cleavage. Set that aside, however, and the game is actually quite fun and appealing to people of many different bankroll levels.
Details & Payouts for Epic Holiday Party
The 5×3 slot offers 243 ways to win and numerous features, including four different jackpots and free spins. The best news of all is that the top payout available is 50,000x the bet.
Hitting that payout would certainly be epic!
There are different bet ranges according to five different levels of play. Players choose the level on the column to the left of the grid. By not clicking any boxes, the game plays at the base level with no jackpots. Moving up the column increases the levels all the way to the top, where the office Santa makes all of the jackpots available.
- Base level = $0.08 min to $0.80 max bet, no jackpots
- Level 1 (woman with red background) = $0.18 to $1.80, x2 multiplier, mini jackpot
- Level 2 (woman with orange background) = $0.38 to $3.80, x3 multiplier, mini-minor jackpots
- Level 3 (woman with green background) = $0.68 to $6.80, x4 multiplier, mini-major jackpots
- Level 4 (office Santa) = $0.88 to $8.80, x5 multiplier, all four jackpots
As for symbol payouts on any of the 243 betways, they depend on the level. We will list the payouts for five symbols on a line by playing the minimum bet on each level.
- Office Santa = $0.30 in base to $5.00 in Level 4
- Woman on green = $0.30 in base to $4.00 in Level 4
- Woman on orange = $0.20 in base to $2.00 in Level 4
- Woman on red = $0.20 in base to $2.00 in Level 4
- Woman on purple = $0.10 in base to $1.00 in Level 4
- A or K = $0.25 in all levels
- Q or J or 10 or 9 = $0.15 in all levels
Epic Holiday Party Features and Gameplay
There are several features to watch for when playing Epic Holiday Party.
The Wild is the pot of gold and can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. This may substitute for all other symbols except the Multiplying Wild and Scatter.
That Multiplying Wild is the symbol with the word “WILD” on it and will only appear on reel 3. It may substitute for any symbol except the Scatter. The payout is multiplied when part of a winning combination.
As for the Scatter, it is a bright Christmas tree with the words “FREE GAMES” written on it. Three Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid triggers 12 free spins. Scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet and then added to the 243-betways wins.
During the bonus round of free spins, the lowest-paying symbols no longer appear on the grid, making more room for the ones with larger payouts. Scatters may appear during free spins, three of which will add another 12 free spins to that same bonus round.
The other bonus is the Jackpot Pick. As mentioned before, the number of jackpots available will vary depending upon the level of play. If more than one jackpot is available, the Jackpot Pick Bonus gives players 12 options on the screen. Players must match three jackpot symbols to win that particular jackpot.
Where to Play Epic Holiday Party
The good news about this RTG holiday party is that is doesn’t need to end after the holidays. It will likely stay on your favorite Aussie online casinos well in 2021.
Another bit of good news is the low volatility in Epic Holiday Party. This means that payouts are more frequent but not as lucrative as in some other games. Our experience with this game is that the free games had big potential, but our largest wins came in the base game on Levels 2, 3, or 4.
