During the holiday season, engaging in a stimulating board game is a favoured pastime. To cultivate the competitive spirit for players this Christmas, Elysium Studios has introduced an innovative new slot game called Chessmas, offering the opportunity for players to achieve exciting festive victories through strategic gameplay.
Santa’s workshop
Set within the warm and inviting atmosphere of Santa’s workshop, Chessmas presents an expanded 5×5 reel layout with 15 fixed paylines, resembling a traditional chess board. The game incorporates various thematic symbols such as reindeers, snowmen, sleighs, and Mrs Claus, each symbol assuming the traits of a corresponding chess piece upon activation of its wild modifier.
Christmas Reel
At the commencement of each round, a unique “Christmas Reel” located on the left side of the board spins to unveil either a win multiplier or designates a symbol to turn wild. In the latter scenario, instances of the chosen symbol expand following the movement patterns of specific chess pieces – for instance, reindeers move in an L shape, snowmen spread diagonally, and sleighs advance horizontally.
Mrs Claus
Mrs Claus, embodying the queen piece, possesses the ability to move in any direction to achieve the highest possible win and grants players three complimentary respins. Inquiries regarding Santa’s role are promptly addressed, as his appearance on reels one, three, and five simultaneously triggers the game’s bonus feature.
Upon activation, players are transported to a Christmas-themed board game and granted between four and eight dice rolls. Each roll propels Santa across the board, landing on spaces containing multipliers, win multipliers, and additional turns, with all rewards accumulating progressively.
For those eager to experience this captivating feature without delay, an option to directly access the bonus round using the “Buy” button is available. This feature not only holds the potential to deliver substantial rewards but also complements the slot’s impressive maximum win of 9,021x the initial stake.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said:
Whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, Chessmas – our new festive-themed from Elysium Studios – has all the right ingredients to get you into the holiday spirit.
Featuring expanding wilds and an exciting, board-game based bonus feature, it’s a Christmas cracker that we’re sure all players are going to love!”
