It may be early, but not too early for software providers to offer us new slot games spiced up with holiday spirit and a bit of snow on top as the final icing. NetEnt’s Fruit Shop Christmas Edition is a pioneer so to speak. Until now NetEnt rebelled against this trend of releasing holiday themed slot games. However, this season they came up with two new holiday themed slots one of which is the Fruit Shop Winter slot. We get to see our rewarding fruits back. In this edition they are frozen and might need a bit of heat before they become edible again. Nevertheless, you’ll want to see more of these as they are the key to big prizes.

This themed video slot has 5 reels and 3 rows. It offers players 15 paylines. The player can’t adjust the number of paylines as it is fixed to 15. Both passionate and casual players can play as they will. Adjust the coin size between 0.01 and 1.00 and set the number of coins you want to place per line. A maximum of 10 coins can be put per line per every individual spin. If we do the math the minimum bet is 0.15 whereas the maximum is 150. There’s an auto play button so if you don’t want to click the spin button over and over again go for the auto play. Remember to set the number of spins before you activate the feature. Fruit Shop’s Christmas edition is a slot game that sits on the generous side with a 96.3% return to player.
Smooth, sleek animations followed by cheerful audio, there’s nothing more to ask for. NetEnt prides on their platform as it really performs pretty well on the market. You can’t miss the Wild Symbol. It has a distinctive design showing a Christmas tree with the words Fruit Shop. All other symbols are frozen, the fruits too. If you form a winning line that includes two or more fruits you’re rewarded with Free Spins. Fruit Shop Winter Edition does not have a Scatter Symbol, but at least there’s a way of winning some much wanted Free Spins. Winnings during Free Spins are multiplied by 2. On top of this during Free Spins the feature can be retriggered, therefore you can receive even more free spins.
All in all, this is truly a great step forward, not for humanity, but for NetEnt. Although they’ve been one of the dominant software providers on the market they hadn’t provided players with holiday themed slots. We hope this won’t be a one-time thing and Christmas won’t be the only exclusive holiday that received its own version. The Fruit Shop Winter or Christmas edition will be remembered as one of the pioneers who broke the ice.
