| Feature | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Double Up Bet |
Whenever you land a win on the reels, you’ll get the opportunity to press the “Double Up” button next to “Spin”. Pressing “Double Up” will open a window where you can select heads or tails and flip a coin. If you make the right choice and the coin lands on your selection, then your winnings will be doubled. If not, your winnings for that spin will be forfeited. |
| Present Wilds Feature |
Land three or more “Present Wilds” and all symbols on your reels will turn to wilds, dishing out some awesome winnings for you. |
| Past Winning Spins |
Trigger at least three “Past Winning Spins” to activate this free spin feature. The more symbols make an appearance on the reels, the more past free spins you’ll receive - each of these provides a pay line win or triggers bonuses. |
| Future Winning Spins |
This feature is triggered in the same way as the past winning spin feature. Just land three or more “Future Winning Spins” on the reels. The more symbols you land, the more free spins you’ll receive. These free spins also provide a pay line win or triggers bonuses. |

Theme and Graphics
The slot game ties in perfectly to its Dickens's A Christmas Carol theme. The game starts off introducing the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. During play, Ebenezer Scrooge himself sits in his bed, looking out at a snowy night scene.
You can reduce the graphics quality in the “Options” section to help the gameplay run smoother in case of poor Internet connections.

Sounds amplify when you spin the reels and Ebenezer chimes in from the comfort of his warm bed with the occasional grunt. When a lot of ghost symbols appear, special sounds will play. Special effects also play as each reel lands.
