The Nice List Pokie

This slot by RTG makes Christmas last and last forever. This is a Christmas-themed, beautifully designed, heart-touchingly sounded and engaging game that features appealing characters and a fairly lucrative 1024 Ways to Win principle. This means that there are no conventional lines and you do not have to activate them and land symbols on them. Instead, there are ways represented by matching symbols that sit on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost one and proceeding rightward. If any reel features more than one matching symbol, this multiplies a total number of ways and, as a result, the payout. There are ten non-feature icons, a Wild symbol and a Scatter. Non-feature icons include six Christmas playing cards from 9 through to A, a plate of Cookies for Santa, an assortment of Christmas Socks and two of Santa’s helpers, a ginger-haired and brunette girls, you may remember from games like Naughty or Nice? and The Naughty List, also by RTG. Cards, Cookies and Socks pay when you land at least one icon of a kind on 3, 4 or 5 adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The payout of these icons ranges between x3 and x125 a way bet (“a way bet” means a 1/50 share of a total bet used for calculating payouts for non-feature combinations). Two of Santa’s helpers pay when you land at least one of them two or more neighboring reels, also starting from the leftmost reel. These icons feature a better level of payouts ranging from x5 to x300 (up to $50 at max). These prizes seem to be low but actually they are not, thanks to the 1024-Ways-to-Win model. Here is an example to confirm this statement. Imagine you land 12 Socks: four icons on reel 1, three icons on reel 2, four icons on reel 3 and one icon on reel 4. This is a four-icon combination yet you have it in many ways: 4x3x4x1=48 ways. This means that the four-icon combination pays 48 times and you will receive a payout of x1440 a way bet ($144 at max). This is a really lucrative game. When you play it for real money, you can make a fortune.

Just the way Santa relies on two of his loyal helpers, a Nice one and Naughty one, you may fully rely on two of your major assistants. These are a Wild symbol and Scatter. Santa himself is a Wild: he appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and substitutes for all non-feature icons. A Wild does it very efficiently as soon as Wilds come in groups and may well take up an entire reel. During the features (read below) he does true and generous wonders in terms of payouts. The Nice List Book is a Scatter. Scatters pay in any position: land 2, 3, 4 or 5 Scatters and earn x1, x2, x10 or x500 a total bet ($2,500 at max). Besides, a Scatter is a bonus trigger and it activates one of two lucrative features.

Landing 3 or more Scatters on reels activate a Santa Spins feature. It awards you 15 free games during which all prizes are doubled. This means that combinations may earn for you up to x600 a way bet or money wise up to $60 at a $5 total bet (and do not forget how generously ways are counted and wins are calculated). Scatters are in the game as well and during a feature also pay 2 times their regular payout or up to x1000 a total bet. This is in money terms as much as $5,000 at a $5 total bet! The last but not least: you may earn 15 extra free spins by landing 3 or more Scatters on reels during free spins. What a joyful arrangement this feature is!

Offering a rich and diverse set of opportunities, a Nice List feature is the next level of fun. When the feature activates, it awards ten initial free spins but first you have a pick round. You are invited to pick bonuses hidden in 20 socks. The socks contain gifts including extra Wilds, expanding Wilds, +2 extra games and x2 and x3 multipliers. There are also two You’ve Been Naughty notes inside some socks. Picking continues until you find two of these notes. If you manage to find both multipliers, you run free games with a multiplier of x6 and may score as much as x1800 a way bet ($180 at max). To make things even better, you are granted a chance to win 10 extra free games: land 3 or more Scatters on the reels during the feature and get these bonus free spins.

To keep the tradition established in The Naughty List game, RTG introduces a random Lucky feature in the reviewed pokies as well. A Lucky feature may trigger after any random spin and award you between 5 and 10 free spins during which all won prizes are paid with random multipliers reaching as much as x10. The feature is designed to award up to x3000 a way bet. Look at the figures, play the game online and hope for the features just like we hope for Christmas miracles and gifts which never set us back.

The Nice List is a 5-reel mobile-friendly pokie by RTG that awards up to x300 for way combinations and Scatter prizes up to x500 a total bet. You will benefit from 15 retriggerable free spins with doubled prizes or 10 retriggerable free spins with up to x6 multipliers. The gameplay is further enhanced with extra free games, extra Wilds and expanding wilds.
