How to Play Ho Ho Tree

Ho Ho Tree is a 4-reel slot. Win by landing lines of matching symbols on the reels.

The game will open with a rotating info set of screens. When you would like to move on, press anywhere on the screen.

Choose your bet per spin by using the +/- buttons located on either side of the main spin button. Your chosen bet is displayed inside the spin button.

Click the spin button to confirm your Ho Ho Tree bet selection and spin the reels.

Winning lines will be lit up on the reels when they are achieved. The Base Game reels use 15 paylines, which work from left to right from Reel 1 (the leftmost reel). Win with lines of 3 or 4 matching symbols on a payline across sequential reels from Reel 1. You can win Ho Ho Tree on multiple lines simultaneously, with the payout for each totaled. See the payouts for all symbols by selecting the menu button (found below the spin button) and then opening the Paytable. Payout awards will be based on your current Ho Ho Tree bet.

Wild Symbols are replacement symbols, and they fill in for all other symbols to create winning lines. You can also make winning lines with 3-4 Wild Symbols exclusively.

The Ball Drop Feature may trigger randomly on any winning spin where a Wild Symbol lands on the reels. The Ball will descend from the Christmas Tree above the reels, displaying a Multiplier ranging from 5X to 25X. The payout from the winning spin will be multiplied by the Multiplier displayed on the ball.

The Respin Feature may trigger randomly on any spin. A Wheel will appear on screen before the spin is complete. It will spin and potentially indicate 1 of the game’s symbols (excluding the Wild Symbol). If a symbol is selected, only that symbol and blank positions can appear on the reels. All instances of the chosen symbol will become sticky, locking on the reels as the blank positions respin. The respins will continue as long as you keep landing the selected symbol. The Respin Feature will end once a respin is played without landing any new instances of that symbol. Winning lines will then be evaluated with the locked symbols on the reels. The Ball Drop Feature triggers at the end of the Respin Feature, multiplying your total win by 5X to 25X.

Look for the Wild Symbols on the reels when you play Ho Ho Tree online. They will interact with the Christmas Tree above the reels, lighting up the Balls and the word B-O-N-U-S at the top of the Christmas Tree. Randomly, the Christmas Tree may light up fully, shake, and award a Ho Ho Tree Bonus.

Choose from the Hold and Spin Bonus or Free Spins Bonus on the Bonus Screen.

The Hold N Spin Bonus is played on special reels. Only Ball Symbols may land on the reels. The Ball Symbols display values of 1X to 10X the bet or Minor Jackpot (25X bet), Major Jackpot (250X bet), or Grand (2,500X bet).

The Hold N Spin Bonus will begin with 1 Ball Symbol on the reels. 3 Respins are awarded. Only Ball Symbols can land on the reels. Each Ball Symbol will lock on the reels until the end of the Bonus. Each new Ball Symbol landing on the reels will cause the Respin Counter to reset to 3. Keep playing until all 12 positions are filled with Ball Symbols or 3 consecutive Respins have been played without landing any new Ball Symbols. On the completion of the Hold N Spin Bonus, the Ball Drop Feature can occur, multiplying the Cash Values of up to 8 Ball Symbols on the reels (excluding Jackpots). All values on the Ball Symbols will then be added up and awarded.

Choosing the Free Spins Bonus will award a total of 8 Free Spins. Special rules are used for Free Spins. The number of winning ways (paylines) increases from 15 to 81 for all Ho Ho Tree Free Spins. The Ball Drop Feature is guaranteed to trigger on every winning spin with a Wild Symbol on the reels in Free Spins. Winnings from Free Spins are tallied and awarded at the end of the Free Spins Bonus. The bet cannot be changed during Free Spins.
