Flowers Christmas Edition Slot Review

The Flowers Christmas Edition slot game boasts a 5x3 symbol grid, with 30 paylines. The familiarity factor only helps the game to become more attractive to slot players who rarely decide to explore new content. It comes with the standard NetEnt interface and game controls, which if you've used once, you're well covered. The entry bet is £/€0.30, but if you want to go all-in, you will be betting £/€75 per single spin. To change the bet amount, you can adjust the coin value in the range of 0.01 to 0.50, and you can place between 1 and 5 of these coin per active line.

Thankfully, NetEnt also serves players with the outstanding Auto Play feature, including the advanced settings. The Auto Play feature will stop if you win a certain amount, lose a certain amount, or if the Free Spins feature is triggered. Now, this is something that not many online casino game studios have to offer!

Flowers Christmas Edition has an RTP (return to player) of 96.32%. In spite of the higher than average RTP, it is a medium to high variance slot. This means that you're not too far from landing a win that's 100 to 200 times of your bet. The main source of this enormous volatility is the Free Spins bonus game which comes with a multiplier. The Double Symbols also add up to the high variance. However, this is what you want from a seasonal hit slot.

Where do we start? Instead of focusing on moving elements, and out of this world animations, NetEnt delivered a simple, yet beautiful online slot. The symbols are fixed, no animations there, but at least they look modern. Although released a few years back, this game still kicks the competition. The audio is not exceptional, yet it's in line with the simplicity Flowers Christmas slot shows in other areas. We hate saying it, but they are "standard" or "generic". Then again, this is the only area that can we label as such.

Nevertheless, the Christmas theme is correctly delivered, which is why many slot game players choose it, instead of going for the latest and the most promoted games. When we say highly promoted games we mean the classics like Flowers Christmas slot and its counterpart coming from NetEnt Fruit Shop Christmas Edition slot, combined, they can outmatch any other duo this time of the year.

One of the most distinctive features of Flower Christmas slot is the Double Symbols. In simple words, Double Symbols take one position on the reels, yet they count as two if they form a winning line. This makes for an extraordinary paytable that at first glance looks confusing, but the moment you land your first win with a Double Symbol in it, it all clicks. We thought it’s best not to include any numbers here. You can always check out the paytable once you register with one of the casinos showcased above.

Note, the best part is that Double Symbols apply to Scatter Symbols as well!

It's all about the Free Spins game! There is no Pick and Click Bonus game, no Click to Reveal a Cash Prize game, it's plain and simple. And we like it this way! Since there are no redundant bonus games, the trigger rate of the free spins is higher than usual. Many players omit this point, and they go for slot games that have 3 or 4 different bonus games, of which, only one is rewarding, whereas the remaining ones act as fillers. A trigger on these less satisfying games reduces your overall RTP, at the cost of low volatility.

Landing 8 scatters sounds weird, but with the Double Symbols, you can pull it off. Just as a reference, here are some more details about it:

You need at least 4 scatter symbols to get Free Spins, but you need only 3 to get the 2x multiplier. For the record, the multiplier applies to all wins that are part of the bonus rounds.

Another great thing about the Free Spins bonus game is that you can retrigger it and win additional bonus rounds. Again, you need only 4 scatter symbols to retrigger the bonus rounds. Winning two subsequent Free Spins bonus rounds will definitely put a smile. It may not be the jackpot, but it easily outmatches the majority of “minor” progressive jackpots.

Stacked Wilds are part of the Free Spins only. There is a slight chance Wild Symbols to turn into Expanding Wilds during bonus rounds, to cover the entire reel. It would’ve been better had this been available in the base game as well. Then again, considering how often you trigger Free Spins, this is not all that bad. Let’s not forget that any wins in Free Spins are multiplied, between 2 and 10 times!

Speaking of Wilds, 5 of a Kind brings you a 5,000 x the bet amount prize. This is without any multipliers, without any special triggers. Just having 5 Wilds on a winning line can change your day.

Flowers Christmas Edition is easily among the top 5 Christmas-themed slots out there. Since 2015, it’s been showcased as Popular during the Winter season, and we’re pretty sure this will be the case in the upcoming few years at least. We tried to cover every important area of the game in this Flowers Christmas Edition slot review, and if we left out any, we’re going to make sure to cover them in the foreseeable future. As a word of advice, this game has been known to be aggressively promoted by online casinos, with lots of free spins offers and other Christmas promotions.
