Wild Stocking

Stakelogic gives Wild Stocking a cheerful Christmas treatment, with snowmen, gingerbread houses, candy canes, Santa and reindeer scattered around a snowy backdrop. Released on 30 November 2021, it uses a 5x3 grid and 243 ways to win, where three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels form a win.

The RTP is 95.5%, volatility is high, and the maths do not change with the Super Stake option. Stakes run from 0.50 to 250. Turning Super Stake on adds extra scatters to the reels and doubles the wager, which improves the odds of reaching free spins.

On the paytable, the cheaper tier is made of card suits plus lollipops and candles, worth between 0.2x and 0.4x for five of a kind. Above them are four character symbols: a snowman, an elf, Rudolph and Santa, paying 1x to 4x for a full line.

Wild symbols land on reels 2, 3 and 4. They replace everything except scatters and bonus symbols, and each one expands to fill its whole reel. During free spins these wilds can carry x2, x3 or x5 multipliers.

Three bonus symbols open a pick-and-click game in which the player chooses one of six objects to reveal a cash prize. Three, four or five scatters award free spins, and the round moves indoors beside a fireplace; the base counts are 10, 12 or 15 spins, and three more scatters during the round add three further spins.

After any win, a gamble feature lets the player risk the amount on a face-down card. Naming its colour doubles the win, naming its suit quadruples it, and a miss loses everything. Where it is permitted, a bonus buy starts the free spins for 100x the bet.
