Game Symbols
There are no card deck symbols used in the Deck The Halls online video slot game. The regular symbols used in the Deck The Halls online slot game are what you usually find during Christmas season: the Christmas Tree, Fireplace, Roast Turkey, Presents, Christmas Star, Reindeer, Baubles, Lantern, Pine Cones, and of course, Santa Claus.
The Wild Symbol is the Deck The Halls Logo. It is a wild multiplier symbol. Thus, the Deck The Halls Logo wild symbol not only acts as a substitute for all other symbols (except for the Scatter symbol) in order to you help you form winning combinations, but it also can multiply the payout! The Deck The Halls Logo wild symbol doubles (multiplier x2) the payout of any winning combination it completes, as long as it acts as a substitute symbol. You are paid varying prize amounts (refer to the Payout table) when you manage to form a winning combination with multiple Deck The Halls Logo wild symbols on an enabled pay line. Take note that the Deck The Halls Logo wild symbol winning combination payouts are not doubled.
In the Free Spin Bonus Feature game, it is entirely possible for you to get up to 3 Deck The Halls Logo wild symbols to come out on a reel at the same time, which makes up a Deck The Halls Logo wild symbol Stack. These Stacked Deck The Halls wild symbols significantly boost your chances of winning by substituting for other symbols to help you form winning combinations.
The Scatter Symbol is the Christmas Bells. The Christmas Bells scatter symbol is not required to appear in a line (on an enabled pay line) for you to win. The Christmas Bells scatter symbol can be found scattered anywhere on the 5 reels, and you are able to form winning combinations as long as there are 2 or more Christmas Bells scatter symbols that appear. Your winnings are calculated by multiplying the Christmas Bells scatter symbol combination payout (refer to the Payout table) by the total number of coins you’ve bet. If you manage to get 3 or more Christmas Bells scatter symbols (anywhere on the 5 reels), you will trigger the Free Spin Bonus Feature game.
Please take note that if you get a scatter win and a regular win, then you are paid out for both of these wins, because the Christmas Bells scatter symbol is not required to come out on an enabled pay line for you to win. Scatter awards are independent from pay line awards, and thus they are added to the pay line win.

The stacked Deck The Halls Logo wild symbols definitely boosts your chances of winning, by means of substituting other symbols to help you complete winning combinations. Furthermore, the Deck The Halls Logo wild symbol rewards you a 4x multiplier amount on the payout of any winning combination it is involved in during the Free Spins.
If you manage to get another 3 or more Christmas Bells scatter symbols (found scattered anywhere on the 5 reels), you are rewarded another set of 10 Free Spins! The additional Free Spins are included to your remaining amount of Free Spins. You can win an infinite amount of additional Free Spins while playing the Free Spin Bonus Feature game.
