Play ‘n Go are a growing providers in the industry and have a rapidly expanding portfolio of both slots games and clients. They do offer a full casino platform, but primarily seem to be used as a bolt on package for extra slots games.

Conclusion
Holiday Season is clearly suffering from too much turkey and eggnog. My first thoughts when playing this game is that Play ‘n Go can do so much better. We all get it, that in December if you don’t have a Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year themed game that you might miss out an important market. However, this feels like no more than a token gesture from Play ‘n Go. The game looks OK but take a look at some of Play ‘n Go’s other games and you’ll see straight away that they can offer so much more than this. The symbols are better than plenty of software developers, but they are pretty standard and unimaginative for Play ‘n Go. The bonuses are as bland as I have seen from Play ‘n Go, offering little more than some Wild multipliers and free spins. The House Edge is at the usual 4% for Play ‘n Go, which is a little more than we would want to see. I hope that this game doesn’t become the default December game from Play ‘n Go and that they actually release something a little more imaginative for us all to feast on at some point in the future.
