Play'n GO Launches Christmas-Themed Slot Wrappin' Christmas Gold

Play'n GO has released Wrappin' Christmas Gold, a new slot that combines an Egyptian theme with Christmas decorations. In the game, the pharaoh Khufu appears wearing a Christmas hat in front of pyramids buried under snow. The new game is built on a grid of 5 reels and 3 rows.

The grid features three features: Bonus Spins, Collect & Win and Instant Bonus. Red, green and purple Scatter Gems that land on the reels feed these features. Three or more Bonus Spins Scatter Gems trigger 6 bonus spins, and these spins can be retriggered.

The Collect & Win feature is triggered when a Mummy Symbol lands on the first reel and is accompanied by at least one Collect & Win Scatter Gem. Collect & Win Scatter Gems can also trigger this feature on their own. The feature starts with 5 spins on a 5x5 reel set. Khufu collects the coins in his area and moves toward the falling Scatter Gems, collecting them as well. Depending on the number of gems he collects, he grows to 3x3, then 4x4, and finally to a size that covers the entire reel set. The collected prizes are awarded when the feature ends.

The Wild symbol can trigger the Instant Bonus feature during the base game or during Bonus Spins. In this round, the player chooses from 15 hidden symbols, and there are four fixed bonuses ranging from 5x to 500x the total bet. The first bonus, revealed three times, is awarded to the player.

Play'n GO brand ambassador Magnus Wallentin described Khufu as a greedy and grumpy character. According to Wallentin, Khufu does not really carry the Christmas spirit, but he is a good fit for a Christmas theme.
