Top 10 highest paying online slots this winter season

The Holiday season is here and it would be a shame not to use this opportunity to play a few of the slots that are available only during this time of the year. The winter festivities are a special period during which quite a few games come out of the woodwork for a month before they are put back into storage for the next 11 months. And it’s a real shame too because some of them really have pretty nice payouts! So without further ado, let’s get into the meat of things and reveal out top 10 winter holiday slots you should play for maximum wins!

10. Aloha: Christmas Edition

Aloha Christmas comes as a 2020 rerelease of the 2016 NetEnt‘s classic Aloha! Cluster Pays. With a very light winter holiday theme and keeping the same “cluster pays” mechanics instead of the standard paylines, Aloha Christmas edition opens our top 10. Sporting a respectable **x 1750 maximum** win potential, up from the old version’s x 1000, this low-to-medium volatility, 96% RTP slot improves on the original formula with a few modern additions. NetEnt managed to increase the excitement by adding extra multiplier symbols (varying between x2 and x7) , adding extra win multipliers when triggering more than 3 scatters (up to x50 for 6 scatter symbols) and even a new “Starfish” symbol during the Free Spin feature that offers extra spins and also removes low value symbols from the reels.

9. Christmas Big Bass Bonanza

Christmas Big Bass Bonanza is the holiday version of the popular Big Bass Bonanza game from Pragmatic Play. Released at the beginning of December, this 10 payline slot with an RTP of 96.7% and an above average volatility comes up at number 10 with it’s **x 2100 maximum** win potential. It’s most exciting feature is multiple WILD symbol retriggering: during the Free Spins feature, for every WILD up until the fourth, you’ll collect all the money on the reelsand get 10 additional Free Spins. Not only that, but every time you retrigger the feature the multiplier for the money symbols increases up to a whooping 10x for the third retrigger.

8. Ice Joker

Released early in the winter of December 2020, Ice Joker is a rehash of the popular game from the same provider Fire Joker. With this latest christmas addition Play’n GO has brushed up on its math model, making it a bit more exciting, but still keeping in line with the medium volatility objective. For this one, we’re looking at a **x 3000** maximum win potential, a significant increase from it’s older cousin’s x800. Even though the features are not the most interesting out there, the potential for thiese big wins might be quite attractive for the more serious players, especially if they’re fans of the classic slot mechanics. 

7. Raging Reindeer

This iSoftBet slot featuring 4096 ways to win was released in late 2019 as a a remake of the older “Jumbo Stampede”. While it doesn’t “wow” us through its mechanics, featuring the same expected free spins, wild multipliers and feature extending scatters, Raging Reindeer does impress though it’s respectable **x 4332** maximum win potential. More than that, the presentation of the game is top notch: the main character, the reindeer, is full of personality and the festive rock soundtrack is a welcome surprise.

6. Book of Santa

This 2020 slot from Endorphina arrives at our number 6. Featuring an almost 96% RTP and a medium volatility, like most of the games in this list, “Book of Santa” comes out with with a maximum potential win multiplier of **x 5000** . Not too shabby! While the graphics production values have  a hard time competing with the complexity of other Play’N’Go or NetEnt games, and the mechanics remain on the simpler side, at the end of the day, Endorphina’s game stands out head and shoulders above a lot of other games by it’s sheer win potential.

5. Flowers Christmas Edition

Now we enter our top 5 and the cookies just keep getting sweeter and sweeter. The original Flowers game, from NetEnt, was released 10 years ago in 2011. Since then it’s been a favourite for many players due to its funny theme, above average volatility and strong mix of features. This Christmas edition was then released in the winter of 2015 and, for the holiday season, has provided big excitement in short bursts. Its high volatility and maximum win multiplier of **x 5000**.

4. Santa’s Wonderland

Pragmatic Play comes hard and fast with a new release from earlier this year: Santa’s Wonderland. This late November release sports a 96.23% RTP and a high volatility making for an interesting addition to the repertoire. Based on the popular Gems Bonanza slot from the same provider, Santa’s Wonderland comes with a more exciting mathematical model behind the reels and a majestic **x 7500** potential maximum win multiplier for the dedicated players out there! What’s not to like?

3. Jingle Ways Megaways

And up at number three we have our expected megaways entry. Megaways is definitely a fun mechanic, lots of ways to win using a very exciting game model. And it would have been a shame not to use that for a holiday game. Red Tiger picked up the torch here and released Jingle Ways Megaways at the start of December of this year. Having released a multitude of games under the megaways “brand”, you can be sure it has everything you’d expect from such a game: exciting paytable and features, good audio-visual experience, high volatility and most important of all, a **x 10500** potential maximum win multiplier.

2. Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom

Play’n GO released this holiday take on an already popular slot: Moon Princess, earlier this year at the start of December. Like most of the holiday remakes from this list, the mechanics are largely similar to the base game here as well. But that’s not a bad thing necessarily since you shouldn’t change something that already works. We’re going to see a similar 96.25% RTP, the high volatility and the cluster pays mechanics. And to top it all off we can enjoy a maximum win potential that’s 3 times higher than the normal version of the game: Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom can pay out as much as **15000** times your original bet. Talk about a big payout!

1. Plenty of Presents

The top spot in our Christmas Holiday best paying slots goes to Plenty of Presents from Just for the Win! With a launch on the 1st of December of this year, with a 96.15% RTP and high volatility, the game has provided excitement to lots of players so far due to its balanced math model and it’s wild swings. Plenty of Presents features a whooping **x 25000** potential max win multiplier. While in the audio-visual department the game looks and feels closer to a classic slot than a modern one, the nostalgia couple with all the features increasing the payout multipliers might be all you need to make up a great Christmas present.
