Christmas Tree

TrueLab Games built Christmas Tree for Yggdrasil's YGS Masters programme, arranging the reels into the shape of the title's namesake: six rows that widen from two symbols at the top down to seven at the bottom, dusted in purple-tinted snow with a snowman and a lit-up house on either side of the grid.

Rather than paylines, wins form through a cluster system — five or more matching symbols connected diagonally trigger a payout, and every winning cluster clears itself from the grid and cascades in new symbols behind it. Low-value symbols take the shape of three coloured baubles — green, blue and purple — while candy canes, sweets and bells fill the mid-tier, and Santa and an Angel serve as the two top-paying regular symbols; a snow globe acts as wild, substituting for anything on the reels apart from the game's mystery symbols.

Two random extras can strike at any point. The snowman positioned beside the grid occasionally hurls snowballs at the reels, picking out one low or mid-value symbol type and turning every instance of it wild for that spin. Separately, once a cascade sequence stops producing new wins, a Blizzard can sweep across the board, dropping 3 to 9 mystery symbols into random spaces; those symbols then all reveal as one shared regular symbol, which can just as easily be a pay symbol as the wild.

Cascades keep chaining for as long as each one keeps paying, and stringing together three or more in a row triggers a reward: a spin on a coin wheel worth 5x-1,000x the stake, a separate wheel applying a 2x-30x total win multiplier, or 5 free spins outright. Inside free spins, the snowman throws snowballs on every single spin rather than occasionally, and a multiplier starts at x1 and climbs by +1 with every cascade that pays — though landing the trigger again mid-round doesn't extend it further, since the free spins can't be retriggered.

Christmas Tree carries a 96.4% RTP, is rated high volatility, hits on roughly 31.6% of spins, and accepts bets from 0.40 to 40 per spin on the way to a maximum 25,000x win.
