Slotmill has brought festive cheer to the gaming world with the release of its first Christmas-themed nline slot, Brew Brothers Xmas Brew. A seasonal twist on the popular Brew Brothers slot launched earlier this year, this updated version features revamped gameplay mechanics and an enhanced win potential, ensuring players experience the perfect combination of holiday magic and thrilling gameplay.

Set in a snow-laden wilderness, this game welcomes players into the holiday-adorned den of the Brew Brothers. With the promise of wins up to 15,000x the bet, along with engaging features like Wild Multipliers, sticky Wilds during free spins, and the return of Old Betty, this slot is packed with excitement.

A Festive Spin on Familiar Terrain

The game retains its original 5×4 reel setup and 40 paylines but adds a seasonal twist with a snowy backdrop and festive decorations. The Brew Brothers’ secluded brewery now features Christmas trees and snowmen, reinforcing the holiday theme. The grid, framed in wood and adorned with ornaments, houses a mix of 10 symbols, including J to A card icons, ice buckets, corn, yeast, sugar, and the two brothers themselves.

Players can wager between 20 cents and $/€60 per spin and enjoy the regular mode or the high-speed Burst Mode, which completes rounds at lightning speed. Activating the Xtra-Bet increases the chance of triggering free spins by 2.5x for an additional 50% of the stake. The game boasts a slightly higher RTP of 96.14% than its predecessor and retains a high volatility level, ensuring an action-packed experience.

Features to Keep the Wins Rolling

Brew Brothers Xmas Brew reintroduces fan-favorite features from the original game, with enhancements to amplify the excitement. Here’s a breakdown:

Wild Symbols and Multipliers

Wild symbols appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, substituting for regular pay symbols. These Wilds often come with multipliers of x2 or x3, which are added together if multiple multiplier Wilds contribute to the same payline. Additionally, non-triggering scatter symbols transform into Wilds, further boosting winning potential.

Old Betty’s Festive Magic

The Old Betty symbol, which appears on reels 1 and 5, serves as an extra Wild with unique capabilities. Upon landing, Old Betty may activate to add 1 to 9 Wilds to reels 2, 3, and 4. If a Wild symbol already occupies a position, its multiplier increases by +1. During free spins, Old Betty upgrades to Gold Betty, delivering even more rewards.

Free Spins with Sticky Wilds

Three scatter symbols trigger 7 free spins, during which all Wilds on reels 2, 3, and 4 become sticky, staying in place throughout the feature. Gold Betty, an upgraded version of Old Betty, can activate during these rounds, further enhancing the potential for big wins.

The Tractor Feature

Filling reels 2, 3, and 4 entirely with Wilds during free spins activates the Tractor Feature. This creates a Giant Wild symbol covering all positions on the three reels. Existing Wild multipliers carry over, and additional Wilds added by Gold Betty increase the Giant Wild multiplier by +1.

Player-Friendly Options for Enhanced Gameplay

Slotmill has incorporated three features designed to elevate the gaming experience:

  1. Burst Mode: Accelerates gameplay, completing two spins per second for non-stop action.
  2. Fast Track: Allows players to access bonus rounds directly by purchasing features such as Gold Betty Free Spins (750x the bet), Regular Free Spins (100x the bet), and Old Betty Activation (30x the bet).
  3. Xtra-Bet: Boosts the chance of triggering free spins, adding more excitement to every spin.
