Bonus Mechanics

Trail Bonus triggers when 3 Bonus symbols land. In this mode, one of 3 bonus-trail maps is selected at random, and the player advances along a festive route while collecting different items. Super Skis help collect coins along the way, Hearts provide an extra life, Christmas Tree boosts presents and Candy Canes increase the Christmas Stocking multiplier.

Party Spin activates after 4 Whiskey symbols are collected. After the fourth symbol, the reels make a free respin, adding a separate moment of anticipation to the base game. Instant Win can immediately award a random payout from x1 to x200, while Random Multipliers apply x2, x3, x4 or x5 multipliers to all line wins on the spin.
