Xmas Magic brings you to a wonderful winter wonderland. The background is reminiscent of a small European village with everything covered in snow. The music also puts you right in the Christmas spirit. The graphics aren’t as great as some of the other holiday games out there this year.
The characters on the reels aren’t as interactive in comparison to others. There is, of course, good old Saint Nick on the reels. You also have other supporting Christmas characters and items. The game does start to spruce up in character when you head into features. It’s worth trying as the RTP in Xmas Magic is decent and it will put you in the spirit of Christmas.
Betting
You get to choose how many active lines you want to bet on for your rounds. This is a pretty cool part of Xmas Magic. So how much every spin can vary greatly depending on your decisions. There are between 1 to 50 pay lines to work with. You can bet 0.01 for a line (per spin) and get a max of $2. You could also bet up to £100.
It doesn’t give a max payout that is that impressive. You can win a x4,000 jackpot. So wagering the max would get you a $400,000 win. Remember too that Xmas magic has high volatility (10/10). Sure, you can win big but you could also lose big.
