There are four bonus symbols, all modelled after baubles, with each offering different bonuses including free spins and more.

Jingle Spin Slot Game Review. Jingle Spin is a slot machine by NetEnt.According to the number of players searching for it, Jingle Spin is a moderately popular slot. It's not up there with the most widely-known titles, but it has captured the attention of some slot machine players, so give it a try for free to see for yourself.
The weather outside may be frightful, but Kerching’s list of games just got even more delightful! Yes, the festive season is upon us and NetEnt have provided the slot player with a new way to celebrate; Jingle Spin slots. Being a holiday-themed game, this title showcases all the yuletide fun you would expect. All the festive favourites are featured here, from Father Christmas himself to his cohort of hardworking elves. Like all slots from this developer, Jingle Spin’s graphics are of a very high standard and there is plenty to say about the visuals. Of course, it’s not Christmas without presents, and NetEnt has provided a few of them in the form of the bonuses. We’ll examine those shortly, first though, let’s see the game’s design and layout.
Visuals and Paytable
Jingle Spin almost looks like a whimsical animated movie, which is to the game’s benefit. NetEnt has gone for an exciting art direction too, emulating a steampunk aesthetic, with Santa and his elves consistently looking like they have walked in from an assembly line. It's a good move on their part, as it separates Jingle Spin from other Christmas slots and adds a new twist to a very old formula. This also plays into the gameplay, with the elves passing along the bonus trigging bonuses at the top of the reels. Every time you spin, Father Christmas will pull a lever down that will prompt the elves. It's one of those great visual effects that actually adds to the game, rather than just looking pretty.
As always though, what’s the point in extravagant wrapping paper if there’s nothing good inside? Well, Jingle Spin doesn’t suffer from this, as each of the symbols holds more than a fair bit of value. Of the high paying symbols, the most valuable is the red bauble, which will grant a 1000x your stake multiplier for a five of a kind win. After that comes the orange slice, which will award 700 for the same criteria, with the Christmas tree following on at a 500x your stake valuation. The deer and pinecone, the last of the high-value symbols, are worth 400x and 300x respectively.

Bauble Bonus Features
As we’ve mentioned before, there is a constant bauble bonus that takes the form of a wheel minigame. Father Christmas will trigger the wheel at the start of each spin and whichever bauble it lands on will be added to the bar on top of the reels. After each subsequent spin, the bauble will move one reel to the left. If you land a wild on a reel with a bauble above it, that effect will trigger.
Spreading Wild Bauble
This icon is shown as a red circle with a ‘w' in the centre. If you trigger this bauble, all diagonal and adjacent symbols will turn wild. This will create a grouping of wilds, and a new valuation will be made.
Free Spins Bauble
This will display as a green circle with a number written on it. If you land a wild on a reel with the Free Spins bauble on it, you will trigger a free spin round and grant the equivalent of the icon's number.
Coin Win Baubles
This is represented by a yellow circle containing a value inside. Landing on a reel affected by this will pay out a coin prize equivalent to the figure on the icon.
Surprise Bauble
This one is styled after a marble and will randomly award one of the three previous bonuses if a wild is landed on an effected reel.
Kerching Says…
If you’re a fan of bonuses with multiple options, try Finn and the Swirly Spin.

Play it at Kerching
Jingle Spin might be a seasonal title, but it certainly isn’t just here for the holidays. There is plenty to like about this slot, across both visuals and gameplay. It’s always nice when a game includes plenty of animations and reel effects, but it’s better when they’re rendered to as high a standard as this. The bonuses are equally engaging, with each bauble offering something that could boost your payout. With all these goodies, Jingle Spin might just be the best Christmas game on the market.
Has all this talk of presents and elves got you in the festive spirit? If so, you can play it here at Kerching. However, for the grinches amongst you, there are plenty of none-Christmas related titles too. Not keen on elves? Why not trade them for fantastic felines in Kitty Glitter? Or head to the pyramids in the iconic Cleopatra. Remember to keep an eye out for our promotions page too, for any specials we have on.

I began to think more about a white Christmas while sitting stranded in Amsterdam Central station under a snow storm last Friday for 3 hours waiting for a northbound train. The sea of people staring at blank information boards and rushing for a place on the few trains that were announced was like a scene from a Roland Emmerich disaster film, but no one really panicked and no commuters were swallowed up by giant sink holes appearing under their feet.| Screen grab from 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' |
Sky Radio from Amsterdam is broadcasting 100% Christmas songs during this coldest December in Europe in 100 years. That’s making for some super-charged Yuletide with the most seasonal songs I’ve heard since I was a kid looking at my white front yard that time in South Jackson. Most songs are from contemporary artists from England and the U.S. ranging from the 1980’s up to the present, and the most popular are played about 5 or 6 times per day. The Sky online station starts even earlier with holiday songs from 1 October through 31 December.
Frans van Dun is the music director of the self-proclaimed ‘Christmas Station’ that has been spinning the holiday tune tradition during the month of December since the station began in 1988. “We started as a station that November, and Christmas songs were first thing we did because nobody was doing that in Holland at the time.” Sky Radio now has about 10 million people in its broadcast area, and estimates that easily more than 1 million people listen daily during the season. He said that the station begins receiving requests for holiday music starting in August.

So who are the broadcast heavy hitters this year? “All I Want for Christmas” by Mariah Carey is safely in the #1 spot, says Van Dun.Other top holiday tunes on Dutch radio:
“Driving Home for Christmas” by Chris Rea
“Last Christmas” by Wham
Jingle Spin Demo Play
“Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band Aid
“Christmas Time” by Bryan Adams
“Lonely this Christmas” by Mud
My pick for the best song this year is by Chris Rea. 'Driving Home for Christmas' has the lively piano hum-along melody with the raspy voice of Rea that takes you on down the road to a place where one can smell an old, wood heater and something good cooking in the kitchen. I imagine more Europeans will be driving home this year with all of the travel difficulties on railways and at airports.
The Elvis live recording of “Blue Christmas” is still a sure winner, complete with screaming girls to enhance the mood. Happy Xmas (War is Over) from John Lennon is a staple of the season that resists growing old. A surprisingly fun and quirky – and distinctly English - tune is “Stop the Calvary” from Jona Lewie. And “Jingle Bell Rock” - via the Hall and Oates version - is guaranteed to get someone to forget about work for a few minutes and reach for a cocktail. “Father Christmas” from Greg Lake, with its haunting melody and backing choir, rounds out my list of favorites. Of course Bing, Dean and Nat still hold their places in Christmas music fame, but I’m checking out the ‘newer’ classics here.
The funniest Christmas song I can think of, except maybe for “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,' would have to be Adam Sandler’s
“Hanukkah Song.”
Put on your yalmulka, here comes hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate hanukkah,
Jingle Spin
Hanukkah is the festival of lights,
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.

And my pick for most annoying Christmas song of all time is “The Twelve Days of Christmas” with its painfully repetitive list of material-based efforts to win affection.
How about that white Christmas? Do they happen often here in North Holland? “I’m in my 50s and I can only remember 7 or 8 white Christmases,” said van Dun at Sky Radio. Well turn on the stereos, light a fire and look outside for the snow men as we head for the home stretch. Happy Holidays!
