Reel Crime: Stealing Christmas

Theme & Atmosphere

Remy and Raoul are at it again, trying to pretend like they didn’t steal the idea for this slot from Home Alone. The music brings Pink Panther to mind, except it is occasionally mixed with Christmas tunes. The symbols all tie back into some vague idea or a recollection of a heist, Christmas and copyrighted movies that you can’t use. It’s a holiday caper wrapped in parody, held together by Free Spins and fake moustaches.

Feature Overview

Score a win and the symbols drop off. Not to worry, that’s not the heist. The wins get paid out and new ones can land. Simple gameplay in a nutshell. What we’re really after are the Scatters. They lead to the Protect the House Spins, introducing a new set of scatters. Collect those and you enter the Penthouse Mayhem Spins. Both cause the Reels to expand and add a Multiplier to the Wilds. First, you get 1024 Ways with double Wilds, then 3125 Ways with 5x Wilds. It gets bigger and bigger, and so do the wins.

Technical Specifications & Mechanics

Reel Crime: Stealing Christmas starts with five Reels of three symbols, and adds in one row of symbols for both Free Spin functions. Wins track any way through the Reels, as long as they’re matching ones next to each other. Bets range from 0.25 to 125, and every spin is decided by a random number generator. Runs with HTML5 on any device.

Bet & Paytable Analysis

Low symbols are the universal ones - A to 10 - and they sit where they always do, right at the bottom. They’ll pay up to 3.60 for five, but most tap out around 2.00. Mid-range is heist and travel territory: blowtorches, crowbars, getaway rides, and maps. Those hit anywhere from 4.00 to 20.00 when five drop in. Top of the stack? That’s the Christmas trio: snowman, wreath, and tree, capping out at 50.00 for five. These are all drop symbols, so any hit clears the space and makes room for the next fall. It helps, especially when three symbols only pay 0.16 to 2.00. You’ll want more than one combo showing up fast.
