Book of Yuletide (Quickspin) – Review & Demo Play

The Book of Yuletide Slot Game

I’ve spun plenty of Christmas slots, and Book of Yuletide lands the mood without going full cheese. It runs a classic 5 reels, 3 rows, 10 paylines setup, with elves and a Santa who looks like he’s checking the naughty list twice. The soundtrack swings from Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to Jingle Bells during features, which actually fits the tempo shifts. Wins come left to right, and the book symbol takes centre stage as both wild and scatter.

Symbols and Payouts in Book of Yuletide

Payouts track the ‘book’ mould. Lows are 10, J, Q, K, A paying 10x to 15x for five of a kind. Mediums are blue, green, and purple elves, with five across paying 75x, 75x, and 200x. Santa tops the table at 500x for five, and the premiums pay from two of a kind. The Book Wild/Scatter substitutes and pays 5x, 50x, 500x, or 2,500x for 2–5 on a line. It’s a compact paytable with meaningful premiums and a spicy wild line.

Book of Yuletide Slot Bonus Features

The Book Wild triggers the lot. Land 3, 4, or 5 to start with 4 free spins plus 3, 6, or 12 picks in Pick and Click, an expanding symbol, and a starting x1 multiplier. During free spins, 3–5 books add +2 spins and 1, 2, or 4 extra picks. Momentum matters here: stacking picks into more spins and expansions keeps the round alive, while landing books mid-bonus can snowball nicely.

Pick and Click comes first: 20 wrapped gifts sit on screen, and each pick can award +2, +3, +5, or +10 free spins, +1 to +3 expanding symbols, or +1x, +2x, or +5x multipliers. If every gift is opened, leftover picks convert to +3 free spins each. It feels weighted toward extra spins, with multipliers rarer in my sessions, but the ability to add multiple expanders is where the game gets properly lively.

Expanding symbols pay anywhere after normal line wins, expanding to cover their reels when enough land, and wilds don’t help during expansion checks. You can buy straight into action for 150x, 500x, or 1,600x to start with 3, 4, or 5 scatters. RTPs tick up to 96.50%, 96.71%, and 96.91% for those buys. That top option costs plenty but sets up chunky pick counts and a real shot at stacked expanders with a multiplier.

Bonus Buy Feature

Free Spins Feature Buy Feature can be activated in Base Game only. By paying 150x, 500x or 1600x bet, you can buy entry into PICK AND CLICK.

How to Win at Book of Yuletide Slot

I set stakes between 0.20 and 100 and chase 3+ matches on the 10 paylines while scouting for books. Base game hits can line up solid elf or Santa lines, but I’m mostly angling for the feature. Autoplay with loss and single-win caps helps on a high variance slot like this. If I’m cold, I pause; if I’m seeing books land in clusters, I’ll stretch a session to try to catch the trigger.

Book of Yuletide Slot RTP & Volatility

Stats are right up my street. RTP sits at 96.27% in the standard model with high volatility and a hit frequency around 25%. The max win is 32,760x the bet, which puts it in serious territory for a ‘book’ slot. The grid is the familiar 5x3 with 10 fixed paylines and stakes of 0.20 to 100. Bonus Buy pushes RTP to 96.50%, 96.71%, or 96.91% for 3, 4, or 5-scatter entries, which is handy if you fancy skipping the grind.

The Final Thoughts on Book of Yuletide

I rate Book of Yuletide as a festive slot with bite. The base game carries that classic ‘book’ cadence, but the Pick and Click adds proper depth, letting you stack expanding symbols and chase a meaningful multiplier. It’s pricey to buy on 4 or 5 scatters, yet the upside makes it tempting. The art and music set a playful edge, and the 32,760x cap gives real headroom. If you like high volatility with agency in the bonus, this lands well.
