A Christmas Carolby Betsoft Gaming

The story of Ebenezer Scrooge has been told across the world in different arenas. First brought to life by Charles Dickens in his masterpiece story. Later resurrected by numerous movies including the popular Disney edition. My favorite is the Bill Murray rendition.

Today, we now get to see A Christmas Carol live on the internet, thanks to Betsoft.

The Betsoft version may be new favorite with its 3 special bonuses and immersive graphics. On the side of the reels you will see a very detailed Ebenezer Scrooge lying in bed waiting for his ghosts to appear. The animation is beautiful, yet sometimes sluggish due to the intensity.

This slot works across multiple platforms including PC, iPhones, Samsung, and other mobile devices.

A Christmas Carol Rules

A Christmas Carol uses 5 reels and has 25 fixed paylines. Betting options include up to 5 coins per line with a value that ranges from $0.02, up to $1.00.

The game controls are well designed and even contain elements of the games theme. The auto play function will allow you to play up to 100 games with no pushing buttons necessary. Right next to the auto play is the double up button. After any winning spin, you have the option to play this side game to double up your wins.

The double up game is a simple coin flip where you guess the outcome of heads or tails. If you guess right, you double the win. If you guess wrong, you lose the entire win. You can play the double up game for as long as you want, so long as you keep guessing right.

A Christmas Carol Symbols

Low paying symbols are 10 through Ace as found in most Betsoft slots. Higher paying symbols will be Scrooges Bank sign, a pile of presents, stack of coins, a bell, and Scrooge.

Each symbol requires 3 or more to make a winning combination. The highest paying of these symbols is Scrooge. He will pay up to 1,000x your coin bet when you get 5.

There is a wild symbol which is the cooked turkey. This is the highest paying symbol in the game and pays out 2,400x your coin bet with 5 in a row.

Past, Present and Future Bonuses

If you aren’t familiar with Christmas Carol story, it revolves around 3 ghosts. The ghost of Christmas past, present and future. Each ghost told a tale of what Scrooges life was, or will be. It’s a bleak outlook on what his life will turn into if he remains to be the grumpy old man he is.

In A Christmas Carol slot, these ghosts will trigger various bonuses.

The Ghost of Christmas Past is represented by the gold ghost. When 3 or more land on the reels, you trigger free spins. 3 past ghost’s award 3 free spins, 4 will award 6 spins. And 5 will give you 12 free spins.

The Ghost of Christmas Future is the blue ghost. This will perform the same bonus feature as the past ghost when you get 3 or more.

The Ghost of Christmas Present will make all ghost symbols turn wild when you get 3 or more.

When each bonus is triggered the ghost will come out of the side reels with an animated feature that looks amazing. One of the better cut scenes in a slot I have seen.

What does your future Hold?

Scrooges future wasn’t so great according to Ghost of Christmas Future. This made him change his ways and become the happy go lucky, gift giving character we all fell in love with at the end of the story. Sorry if I just spoiled it for you.

He shows his nice side in this slot with rewarding bonus features and fun game play. Your future could be as bright as his if your luck is just right.
