Invading Vegas Las Christmas Slot Review
As it streams from the name, this slot is a sequel to a popular game about a UFO invasion that is taking place during Christmas festivities. The slot visuals are well performed, although the follow-up has seriously changed its look compared to its predecessor. Also, the highest bet amount was decreased to just €50.
Besides good graphics & animations, there are much more pleasurable surprises up this slot sleeve. Among them are respins with Walking Wild and Mystery special symbols, an FS round with up to 120 extra free spins, and x2,500 max win. The last thing you should know about it is it’s a Medium-volatility gamble with 20 fixed win lines.

Invading Vegas Las Christmas Bonus Features
There are a few bonus features we need to delve into so that we can get a complete understanding of this game's gameplay.
Wilds
There are 2 types of Wilds here — regular and walking ones. The first behave quite standardly, substituting paying symbols, except Scatter, to get more winning combinations. Also, these are payable pictures, bringing up to x30 by stake for as many as 5 such symbols. While the second ones appear only within the respins' duration. We will talk about Walking Wilds in more detail a little bit later.
Scatter
This special symbol, as usual, triggers an FS round. To begin the bonus game, you need to get on the play grid at least 3 Scatters.
Respin
When the 1st and the 2nd reels are all filled with identical symbols, the respin feature is triggered on the 3rd reel. While the 3rd reel makes an additional spin, all the other symbols are stuck in the place.
Walking Wild
If, due to the respin, all three symbols on the 3rd reel are Wilds, there is a Walking Wild feature triggering. After that, the giant alien robot (Walking Wild), starting from the 3rd reel, gradually, one reel per spin goes to the rightmost reel. To finish this feature's action, it needs just three respins. During the last one, Walking Wild disappears.
Mystery symbols
Walking Wild delivers with each respin from 3 to 12 Mystery symbols. Those bring only identical paying symbols and Wilds, which extensively increases your chances of getting a big win.
Multipliers
Wilds that appear out of mystery symbols can have a multiplier (x2, x3, x5, x10), although its presence is not obligatory. Multiplier increases prizes of winning combinations the corresponding Wild partaking in.
Free Spins
3 Scatters, landing on the reels, activate an FS round with a starting amount of free spins, which is 12. Also, you can get up to 120 extra FS during the bonus game under the same conditions. Each time 3 Scatters landed simultaneously in sight on the playfield, 12 FS will be granted to the player.
Respin
Within a bonus FS round, possible triggering of respins, including those with Walking Wild. The only difference here is that Walking Wild goes gradually to the leftmost reel.
Our Experience Playing Invading Vegas Las Christmas
To make it an experiment of how beneficial playing this slot is, we did 300 spins with a stake of €1 per spin. The initial game balance was €200.
Although during the first 100 spins, there weren't any FS rounds, we got 4 respins, including one with Walking Wild. The last one brought us €76.4, while the others — just €8.4. The minimum win was €0.4. Although the total number of wins was 13, 7 of those were lower than the bet (€1). The most elongated pause between consecutive wins was 28 spins. Upon the 100th spin was finished, the final balance totaled €197.6.
Within the second hundred spins, we got two bonus FS games. Sadly, those brought us just €5.8. Three respins, none with Walking Wild also earned not many — €4. As bad luck, regular wins decreased to 6, which was somewhat unexpected for the Medium-volatility game. All of that resulted in just €140.2 of the final balance after the end of the 200th spin.
Fortunately, the third hundred spins became very lucky for us due to the single respin round with Walking Wild that earned a whole €164. While the others respins gave just €29.2. Moreover, the last FS round brought us precisely zero euros. Luckily, the number of regular wins increased to 22, just 4 of which were lower than the bet. As a result, the final balance totaled to €287.6. Hence, our clear profit is €87.6.
As an intermediate conclusion, we want to note not that frequently happening wins, the number of which varied from 6 to 22 for distinct hundreds of spins and not-so-generous FS rounds. Most due to the same reason — during 12 free spins, twice wasn’t any win. Luckily, re-spins alongside Walking Wild and Mystery special symbols can deliver you enough money to get it to the plus side.
Invading Vegas Las Christmas Verdict
If you love Christmas but are also a fan of Sci-fi, with great pleasure rewatching the 'Independence Day' movie every year, that's a game you should try. Here are aliens, flying saucers, and numerous Christmas attributes, including a recognizable soundtrack able to tune you into a festive mood.
In the sense of possible wins, as we demonstrated, this slot is well-suitable even for those not high-rollers. Our modest €200 balance eventually let us earn almost half of that amount. The most incredible result demonstrated a respin feature, earning us an overall €282. Such a good win was guaranteed due to the Walking Wild & Mystery special symbols. Whereas FS rounds, not having any of those features, didn't give us such a good profit. Otherwise, we could easily double our game balance. On the other hand, there is a chance to get up to 120 extra FS during the bonus game. That's a giant plus.
As if drawbacks, there are way too rare winnings for the medium-volatility game, many payouts that are less than the current bet (18 out of 27), and not that impressive amount of maximum win compared to many other popular slots. Yet, it is still worth trying to get it since it allows you to grab up to €125,000 cash prize. Not such a small thing. So, if you like non-usual Christmas-themed games with a festive soundtrack, a good look, and profitable bonus features (respins & free spins), it's one of the best choices currently available to you.
