Wild Stocking, developed by Stakelogic, presents a festive-themed online slot experience with a configuration of 5 reels, 4 rows, and the opportunity to win in 243 different ways. The game immerses players in the holiday spirit, especially through its array of symbols that draw heavily on Christmas motifs, requiring a minimum of three adjacent symbols on the reels to form a winning combination.
At the lower end of the pay scale, players will encounter the traditional card suits including diamonds, spades, clubs, and hearts. These are joined by slightly higher value symbols such as lollipops and candles, which can yield wins ranging from 0.2 to 0.4 times the player's stake for securing a five-of-a-kind combination. The game's premium symbols escalate the potential for higher payouts, featuring a cheerful snowman, a mischievous elf, Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer, and the jolly figure of Santa Claus himself at the helm, offering rewards from 1 up to 4 times the stake for landing them.
Wild symbols play a pivotal role in Wild Stocking, appearing on the second, third, and fourth reels. These symbols have the power to substitute for all other symbols in the game with the exception of scatters and bonus symbols. An interesting twist is that any wild symbol landing on the reels will expand, covering the entire reel and potentially leading to more substantial wins.
The game also includes a pick and click feature, which is triggered when three bonus symbols appear on the reels. During this interactive portion of the game, players are presented with six different objects on the screen from which they must choose, each concealing a random cash prize waiting to be uncovered.
The free spins feature is another highlight, activated by landing three, four, or five scatter symbols, which respectively award 10, 12, or 15 free spins. The setting of the game shifts to a cosy scene beside a crackling fireplace for the duration of the free spins. Within this bonus round, the wild symbols gain an added dimension, potentially carrying multipliers of x2, x3, or x5 to further amplify winnings. Should players land an additional three scatter symbols during the free spins, they are rewarded with an extra 3 free spins.
