Six reels, up to 200704 ways, make the grid of Christmas Carol Megaways. Reels 1 and 6 show up to 7 symbols, reels 2 to 5 up to 8 plus a top row. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and two matching symbols are enough. The Tumble Feature removes winning symbols and the grid refills until no wins remain. The Christmas and Victorian theme shows in the ghost and Cratchit symbols.
4 SCATTER symbols anywhere start Free Spins: a choice of 15 spins at 1x, 10 at 5x or 5 at 10x, or MYSTERY with hidden count and multiplier. Each tumble during Free Spins adds 1x to the Progressive Multiplier, applied to that tumble's win. 3 SCATTER symbols landing during a round award 5 more spins, with no limit on retriggers.

When the scatters land
This block settles the free spin counts, the starting multiplier options and how a retrigger adds spins.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start Free Spins. Four give 15 spins at 1x, 10 at 5x or 5 at 10x, or MYSTERY. Five give 19, 14 or 9 spins; six give 23, 18 or 13. Every tumble adds 1x to the multiplier.
Base game reelsSpins and multipliers
Switch on the Ante Bet and the bet multiplier rises from 20x to 25x. The natural chance to trigger Free Spins doubles, and scatter symbols appear more often on the reels.

Set a stake from A$0.20 up to A$300 before the first spin. The tables on this page use A$1, A$2 and A$10 as examples, and your stake sets what each spin costs.
The base game runs on a six-reel Megaways grid with up to 200,704 ways to win. Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, and two matching symbols are enough.
The Tumble Feature removes winning symbols and drops new ones from above, repeating until no win remains. The Wild and the Progressive Multiplier complete the feature list of this game.
Four or more scatters anywhere on the reels start Free Spins. Then you pick a spin count and starting multiplier, or take the MYSTERY choice with a hidden count and multiplier.
Set your limit before the first spin, since nobody can tell in advance how a session will go. Wins, tumbles and Free Spins all come at random.

You will know how to open the demo and what the real game needs before staking real money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Christchurch Casino and the legal age of 18+.
Have a spin4, 5 or 6 SCATTER symbols start the Free Spins, but how often that happens cannot be known in advance. The bonus round comes at random, and the result of one session is down to chance whatever the RTP of 96.58% says. A long run without it is normal for a game rated high volatility, and a short run with two bonuses proves nothing either.
96.58% is the RTP version named for this slot. It describes the average return over a very large number of spins, not what one session pays. Which version runs in this lobby is shown only in the game rules, so check them before the first spin.
x20,000 is the ceiling of Christmas Carol Megaways, and it is reached very rarely. Reaching it cannot be planned, and no session can be built around that top figure. The top win is a limit on the game, not a result a player can expect.

After reading, you will know how the bonus starts, what it costs and which bets apply.
Four scatters anywhere on the reels trigger Free Spins. With four scatters you pick 15 spins at 1x, 10 at 5x, 5 at 10x, or a MYSTERY round with hidden count and multiplier. Five scatters give 19, 14 or 9 spins, and six give 23, 18 or 13.
20,000 times the bet is the highest payout of this slot. At the A$10 example bet that is A$200,000, and at the highest bet of A$300 it reaches A$6,000,000.
100 times the bet is the buy price for Buy Free Spins, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet. The Ante Bet costs 1.25 times the bet, or A$12.50 at A$10, and it switches the buy option off while it is active.
A$0.20 is the lowest stake and A$300 the highest allowed here. This page uses A$1, A$2 and A$10 as example bets, and every price scales with the stake you choose.
