The Nutcracker Review

The Nutcracker Slots Data

The Nutcracker, not to be mistaken for an iSoftBet slot of the same name which isn't a Christmas slot, is a Gameplay Interactive release that's a bit difficult to find in online casinos but is a quality slot game. The game uses 5 fixed paylines, and it costs from $0.50 to $100 to spin the reels. Theoretical return to player (RTP) isn't known, but the game feels rewarding.

There are only seven normal symbols in the paytable, and it's a very generous one. The prizes gradually progress from 10x to 200x your bet for five-of-a-kind, while prizes for four of the same symbol range from 2x to 40x your bet, and with three-of-a-kind you'll at least get your stake back as the prizes range from 1x to 10x your bet. Two-of-a-kind wins also pay prizes, in case of all symbols, and this will give you from 0.4x to 1x of your stake back. There's a Wild symbol, but it only substitutes for the two best-paying symbols.

Apart from the fact that two-of-a-kind wins are possible in this slot game, there's another unique thing about The Nutcracker, as the five paylines will pay wherever your symbols are, the winning payline doesn't have to start on reel 1. Even if you land two symbols on the right end of the payline, you still get the win. This, paired with the generous paytable, makes the game very enjoyable to play and it will be difficult to go back to all those slots that pay in a way different than this one.

There are three types of Scatters, and you must land three or more of the same type consecutively from left to right to trigger the Decorate Christmas Tree bonus. In this feature you'll first get to choose the color of the garland, next you will choose ornaments, and finally the topper. Your choices will determine how much money you'll win.

The Nutcracker Slot Theme

This theme is different than most Christmas themes as it uses nutcracker dolls as the base for the theme. It's an excellent theme in which those nutcrackers come alive and take over the entire Christmas. All the symbols are beautifully drawn, the animations are good enough, and the bonus round is the highlight of this slot game.

Where to Play The Nutcracker Slot

There are really few places online that even feature Gameplay Interactive slots, which explains why this particular game is so unknown by the majority of online gamblers. There are less than a dozen of casinos that have slots by this developer, but fortunately BitStarz is one of them so there's a reputable casino in which you can play The Nutcracker slot game this holiday season. And you should – this is a quality game.
