Scrooge, the most famous of all Christmas misers, has been the impetus of many stories, films and now a video slot. It features all the important characters with the story playing out over the five reels and 50 paylines. Microgaming has recently added two new features to the slot which now includes wilds, free spins, Christmas countdown and an Xmas dinner bonus round.

Scrooge Slot Game Theme

The slot begins with Scrooge bellowing, “what? It’s Christmas again”. Before the reels loads to allow you to begin play. A dark cityscape is shown around the reels with animated gas street lamps which cast light onto the various reel icons.

These include Scrooge, Tiny Tim, carriage clocks, ledgers, safes, keys, bags of money, calendars, free spin graphics, door knockers, coins, Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.

A Christmas theme, complete with bells and upbeat effects, plays during gameplay. The reels are also energized by animated icons such as the scatter which rains coins, the calendar which flips over a page and the knocker which bangs in anticipation of the bonus round.

Betting Options and More Functions

Penny players to high rollers can enjoy playing scrooge due to the expansive 0.01 to $250 betting range. Players can choose to adjust the number of lines, the number of coins per line and of course the coin value itself.

Our Take on Scrooge

The silver coin icon can substitute for most other symbols excluding the scatters.

Each win reveals either a calendar or free spin icon once the spin button has been pressed. These icons add to their respective counters above the reels and the free spins are automatically played once the calendar has reached 25th December. Any wins paid during the free spins are doubled too.

Three to five gold door knocker icons will award the Xmas dinner bonus round. You choose a meal for each character which reveals a meal and bonus win for you. Find the pudding, turkey, ham, beef or mince pie to win a prize and feed your guests. This round can award up to 10,000 coins, which just goes to show Scrooge can turn over a new leaf!

Our Take on Scrooge

People with a prior knowledge of the story will enjoy playing the Scrooge slot. If you’ve never read the story or seen a film then we guess you don’t watch much TV over Christmas time. We still suggest you try out the slot either way, you’ll enjoy the theme, features and betting range - especially if it’s Christmas time.
