The Nutcracker slots game can be found at casinos offering iSoftBet software. iSoftBet are one of the newer casino software providers on the market but they have managed to tie down some impressive branded slots game contracts. As a standard iSoftBet do not publish the RTP/House Edge information for their slots games within the game help file or paytables. However as part of the UKGC license requirements many UKGC licensed operators have started to publish this information for all of their games. As such we can tell from Trada’s site that the House Edge of Nutcracker is 4.03% when playing maximum paylines/coins.
Nutcracker is a 5 reel slots game and each reel is 3 symbols high. The game uses 20 paylines, playing from left to right.
Wild – The Wild symbol is the “Nutcracker Soldier”, which can substitute for all symbols other than the “Sugar Plum Fairy” Free Spins symbol.
Free Spins – The “Sugar Plum Fairy” is the Free Spins symbol. 3 or more of them will trigger the game’s Free Spins feature.
Fairy Free Spins – 3 “Sugar Plum Fairy” symbols will award you 10 Free Spins, 4 will award you 20 Free Spins and 5 will award you 30 Free Spins. The Free Spins can also be re-triggered: 1 “Sugar Plum Fairy” symbol gets you 1 re-spin, 2 gets you 2 re-spins, 3 gets you 10 re-spins, 4 gets you 20 re-spins and 5 gets you 30 re-spins.
Nutcracker Bonus - If the “Nutcracker” symbol lands stacked on reel 3 during the main game it will trigger the game’s Bonus feature. You need to pick a symbol to win either 5, 7, 8 or 10 Free Spins. During the Bonus Free Spins the stacked Nutcracker symbol will remain held in place and will also act as a Wild symbol. On each winning spin the winning symbols will be held in place for an additional re-spin. The re-spin will continue until the win is no longer improved.
Nutcracker (Free Spins) – If the “Nutcracker” symbol lands stacked on reel 3 during the Free Spins feature it will add a multiplier. Each time it appears the multiplier will increase by x1, up to a maximum of x10.
The Nutcracker is an excellent looking game and welcome addition to the Christmas slots stable. The symbols are well designed and the background is as picture postcard, traditional Christmas as you could ever hope to find. Snow has fallen, lights are twinkling and everyone is waiting for the Christmas magic to happen. The game can boast free spins, re-spins and wilds. There is also a bonus game that has some additional features built into it. Essentially, feature-wise, all the boxes are ticked, and the game also looks fantastic so I guess there is not too much to criticise? Well, the house edge is a little on the high side and despite all the features the game does feel like it is lacking some excitement.
