Top 10 Christmas-Themed Games At Online Casino Games In Ontario

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And it has for about a month now.

Crude takes on North American consumerism aside, the season of giving is already in full swing. To help get you in the holiday spirit, PlayCanada authored a list of the 10 best Christmas-themed slot games available through Ontario online casinos.

Within each selection, you will find a short write-up, accompanied by the slots’ return to player and a volatility score out of 5 (1 being low, 5 being high). For context, the average RTP for slots is about 95.5%.

Now that we’re on the same page, there’s only one thing left to do. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the festive fun online casinos in Ontario have to offer while the musical stylings of Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé play on repeat.

Ontario online casinos top 10 Christmas-themed games

1. Big Bass Christmas Bonanza (SlotsMagic)

Pragmatic Play Big Bass Christmas Bonanza

Sporting a healthy RTP along with mid-level volatility, Christmas Big Bass Bonanza‘s well-rounded nature makes for an appealing title. While the 5×3 board with 10 paylines does not grant bonus play, it is possible to earn free spins along the way.

Equipped with symbols that include Santa’s sleigh, a toy chest, and tree ornaments, the Pragmatic Play product is set in snowy sub-zero temperatures. So, having a cup of hot chocolate on hand doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

RTP: 96.7%

VOLATILITY: 3.5/5

2. Fruit Shop Christmas (Caesars Palace Casino Ontario)

Fruit Shop Christmas

Frosty the Snowman (or, some variation of the iconic Christmas character) watches on as frozen fruit and numbers dance throughout the 5×3 playing area. Although watermelons aren’t exactly a winter specialty, the remaining oranges, lemons, and cherries all have a place in kitchens around this time of year.

Landing on Fruit Shop Christmas’ nice list could lead to a max win of up to 8,000x.

RTP: 96.7%

VOLATILITY: 2/5

3. 9 Gifts of Christmas (SlotsMagic)

Games Global 9 Gifts of Christmas

Games Global takes players on a trip to the North Pole with its classic 9 Gifts of Christmas slot feature. Despite not offering jackpots, the game’s patented Epic Strike attribute can deliver payouts worthy of jackpot status.

Old St. Nick himself graces the “free spin” symbol, while mistletoe, gold-foiled chocolate coins, and bow-topped bells complete the traditional Christmas setting.

RTP: 96.3%

VOLATILITY: 2/5

4. Sweet Bonanza Xmas (PlayOJO Casino Ontario)

Pragmatic Sweet Bonanza Xmas

There’s something about Pragmatic Play’s Bonanza games that makes them the everyman of slot titles. Much like Big Bass Christmas Bonanza, Sweet Bonanza Xmas is built for both the casual player and the high roller. However, the latter would be playing with a lower volatility rate and slightly lower RTP here.

That said, the game’s sweet-treat winter wonderland setting fits well with the sugar overload, I mean the holiday season.

RTP: 96.5%

VOLATILITY: 3/5

5. Jingle Bells Power Reels (BetRivers Ontario Casino)

Jingle Bells Power Reels

Met by Santa peering over a table of milk of cookies, Jingle Bells Power Reels is the embodiment of Christmas time.

The 8×6 reel display is larger than the average slot board, which makes it easier to take in the game’s classic set of Christmas symbols. Specifically, players will find stockings, candy canes, ornaments, and a traditional font that resembles the cover of Charles Dickens’ 1843 novel, A Christmas Carol.

RTP: 95.8%

VOLATILITY: 4/5

6. Santa’s Stack (PartyCasino)

Relax Gaming Santa's Stack

Relax Gaming‘s Santa’s Stack is when a 1980’s arcade game meets Christmas. For those who grew up in that era or enjoy its timeless aesthetic, Santa’s Stack, and its max win of 20,000x is the slot for you.

Suited with symbols of Santa, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, elves, trees, and lights, the board is vibrant but not overwhelming. To that end, its 8×8 setting screams ‘the more the merrier.’

RTP: 96.3%

VOLATILITY: 5/5

7. Slingo Bells (BetRivers)

Slingo Bells

Low volatility and an average RTP make Slingo Bells the perfect match for casual players. What’s more, the advent calendar-style board brings a unique element to an already interesting game.

High rollers may not be all that interested in Slingo’s Christmas product, but there’s still plenty to be excited about here. For example, in-game modifiers that assist in clearing your 5×5 card.

RTP: 95%

VOLATILITY: 1/5

8. Aloha! Christmas (PlayOJO)

Aloha! Christmas

Prefer to spend the holidays basking in the glow of the sun? Allow us to introduce Aloha! Christmas.

Boasting an above-average RTP, NetEnt‘s 6×6 title is exactly what users should expect when visualizing a tropical Christmas. Multi-coloured lights wrap around a palm tree, while a single present sits wedged in the sand. It may not have the abundance or excess we might associate with Christmas, but that’s precisely the point.

RTP: 96%

VOLATILITY: 3/5

9. Christmas Carol Megaway (BetMGM)

The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future live within the 6×8 Christmas Carol Megaway board, as an Ebenezer Scrooge-esque figure lurks in the background.

However, there’s no need to fear these fabled spectres. As a matter of fact, they’re actually quite friendly. A max win of up to 20,000x coupled with 200,704 playlines has us all hoping for a visit from Dickens’ iconic characters.

RTP: 96.5%

VOLATILITY: 4.5/5

10. Santa’s Great Gifts (Spinz, Wildz)

Santa's Great Gifts

Santa’s Great Gifts certainly stays true to its name. An upbeat rendition of Jingle Bells plays during the spin session as Santa himself keeps a watchful eye over the board. Symbols of snow and gingerbread men, candy canes, hot chocolate, ornaments, and tree-shaped cookies also join the party.

The volatility may be high, but the well above-average RTP and clean graphics earn Santa’s Great Gifts a spot on the nice list.

RTP: 96.3%

VOLATILITY: 5/5
