This is a Christmas-themed video slot with 5 reels, 30 adjustable lines and stacked symbols. All icons look like small pieces of a big picture that illustrates a beautiful room decorated for Christmas, a fireplace, a rich table with meals and Santa reading a long wish list.

Betting options in the game are a bit limited but that can be an advantage for gamers on a budget. There are only three coin value options, $0.01, $0.02 and $0.05, with up to 10 coins allowed per line. So playing at max, you will put $15 per spin. A very useful feature in Deck the Halls is stacked Santa symbols that can propel your winnings to big amounts. Santa is the second highest icon here (after the wild) that awards up to 1000 coins for five of a kind, and getting an array of stacked Santas on any reel, especially on reel 1, would definitely boost your bankroll.

Bonus features

The logo of the slot is a wild symbol that doubles payouts on any winning combination it helps complete. Along with its power to substitute, the wild is also the most profitable symbol since five of them produce a 4000-coin jackpot; getting four is also a good result as you would receive 1000 coins for that combination.

Free spins are a very rewarding bonus in the slot as you get a number of extra features activated during free spins:

• all wins are doubled
• Santa symbols appear stacked, as they do in a base game
• the wild also comes stacked, unlike a base game where it is a standalone symbol
• all wins with the wild are multiplied by x4.

To trigger free spins, you need to get Bell symbols scattered on reels 3, 4 and 5, and the top potential award for free spins goes over two million coins if you are lucky enough to get stacked wilds all over the reels again and again.
