Armadillo Does Christmas 2023 is a video slot by Armadillo Studios / SlotMatrix, released in December 2023. The game brings the signature Armadillo character back in a Christmas look: snow, presents, Christmas trees, festive symbols, whiskey, sweets and a winter road create a cheerful seasonal slot atmosphere.

The game grid consists of 5 reels and 4 rows with 25 paylines. The main RTP version is 96.00%, but 94.00% and 88.00% versions are also available, so the final maths depends on the operator.

Bonus mechanics

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

Party Spin activates after collecting 4 Whiskey symbols. 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.
