Are you eager for the winter to come? Are you looking forward to the magic moments of winter wonders? Well, this year you may just be prevented to enjoy all the benefits of Christmas spirit, because Rudolph the reindeer has decided to start a riot. That’s right, he’s had enough of sleighs, Santa, Christmas elves, presents and the whole Christmas thing! He’s taking his life into his own hands!

Seriously, Realtime Gaming has decided to introduce an unexpected twist to the Christmas story, and they accomplished this in such a hilarious way that you’ll find it hard to stop laughing. Instead of the usual innocent Christmas characters, “Rudolph’s Revenge” introduces you to gangsta Rudolph who smokes cigars and keeps a baseball bat at the back of his sleigh, a tied-up Santa whom Rudolph is trying to eliminate with present-bombs, and poor, petrified elves, which are molested by the evil Rudolph.

Feel like this is something you mustn’t miss? Then go for it, join the Rudolph gang and be generously rewarded with fabulous prizes derived with the help of wild symbol, scatter symbol, free spins and great multipliers. And don’t despair because you can’t pick the number of lines and the bet amount to place to start those five reels rolling, because those $2 per spin will be enough to win the “Rudolph’s Revenge” progressive jackpot, awarded when five wild symbols appear along one of the 50 paylines during a non-feature game.

Wild Symbol:

Crazy Rudolph with a bat in his hands will reward you for being on his side. He will substitute for all other symbols except the scatters, in order to form a combination that will bring you much money. How’s that? That’s because combinations that include one of more Rudolph grow two times bigger than usual.

Scatter Symbol:

Scattered bombs wrapped as presents serve to destroy Santa and his helpers, but also to trigger special, free spins. When three or more of them appear on the reels left to right, you will be rewarded with retriggerable free spins. During these free spins prizes will be doubled, and additional wild symbols may be added. So, if the feature was triggered by 4 bombs, the scatter symbol will serve as an additional Rudolph wild symbol. And if all 5 scatters trigger the free spins, both Santa and the scattered bombs will act as Rudolph substitutes. Unfortunately, you cannot win the progressive jackpot while the reels are spinning for free.

What’s a real pity about “Rudolph’s Revenge” is that its creators didn’t exploit all its possibilities to the greatest extent. It would have been way more interesting if it featured a cool, second screen bonus round, where we could actually see mad Rudolph in action. But regardless of this, the characters themselves will trigger your imagination, and you’ll laugh until your stomach hurts. And when to this you add some excellent prizes you can win, you’ll get a totally irresistible combination, which is absolutely worth time and money.
