Introduction
Wonders of Christmas is a Christmas-themed slot that was developed by NetEnt. To please their fans and just lovers of online casinos, the slot was released on the eve of the Christmas holidays. This game has a significant focus on the holiday season. Wonders of Christmas is essentially a Christmas reskin of an older game; in this case, it has branched off from Rome: The Golden Age. It follows in the footsteps of many other games that came before it. Wonders of Christmas makes a little more sense now that we know the first Christmas party was held in Rome in 336 AD, on December 25. Now that we know about that historical connection, let's see what else Wonders of Christmas has to offer.

Wonders of Christmas Features
Hold & Spin. 3 Scatters that are shown in any position on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger this feature. During the feature, every cell of the game grid except the locked cells spins by itself and only the Golden Coin can be shown on the game field. First, the players have 3 spins and every time the Golden Coin is shown on the game field the number of spins on the meter goes back to 3
Multiplier Feature. Every time the Gift symbol is shown on a cell of the game grid without a Frame or an Active Frame, the progress bar adds one point. Every time the Gift symbol is shown on a cell of the game grid with a Frame or an Activa Frame, the progress bar adds a number of points in the range from 1 to 4. In case the progress bar gathers 200 points, the feature Multiplier is increased up to the maximum of x1000.
Our Experience Playing Wonders of Christmas
We did a standard test of 200 EUR, 1 EUR bet and 300 spins for this slot and here is our result. The first hundred spins went pretty smoothly. We had the opportunity to launch the Hold & Spin feature, but without great achievements in it. Our winnings were only 16 times our stake and in the end, we only earned 3 EUR. The second hundred disappointed us. We didn't activate Hold & Spin or received big wins, and our max win was only 9 times the bet. Losing 11 EUR is not the most pleasant news for the evening, and we were very hopeful for the last hundred spins. The treasured 3 Scatters were shown on the game field for 3 times. Although the winnings were not the highest 13, 21 and 19 times the bet, in general, we managed not to lose our money and took 9.5 EUR as a result of all 300 spins.
Wonders of Christmas Verdict
Besides the new decorations on the windows, everything else has kind of stayed the same. This means a game in which you want to start the bonus round, but not too soon, because doing so uses up any multipliers you've earned during the main game. So, the longer you can fight in the base game, the more likely it is that the multiplier will be bigger. As before, the multiplier can go x1,000 to trust the game model, which is a pretty big number. Getting to a height that high isn't easy, of course. Even building a small multiplier could take a long time. On paper, there are rewards worth 100,000 times the bet at full whack, but we haven't seen any proof that this is true or even close to it. Wonders of Christmas doesn't seem like a game that can be won or lost in one hit, so to receive as much as possible, you may require a lot of persistence, and time, also with a little bit of luck.
