Personal testers’ opinion about Scrooge slot
- We had an amazing time testing this slot. OK, it is one veteran game (you can see it by the graphics), but don’t be put off by the old age or by the bitterness of the protagonist. Not many machines existing for over a decade can be flaunting with popularity and admiration as this one. Unlike Dickens’s Scrooge, the online slot is generous to your bankroll and unsparing in prizes. With 2 interesting bonus rounds, high return, and a large betting range, you can’t go wrong if you decide to dedicate your pastime to this game.
- The paytable is decent, with a value for 5OAK of the Wilds – 120x the total bet, and of the Scatters – 200x the total bet. The hit frequency is high, and triggering the Free Spins is not very hard (statistically, they should be launched after 118 spins).
- There is, however, 1 significant drawback with Scrooge though. The highest prospect of the game – 120 000 coins (via the max stake of 250 CAD), when calculated, comes to 480x the total bet. This will be super negligible for high-risk takers and players who play only for massive prizes.
- But the regular gamblers shouldn’t be deterred to play here. Prizes of 45x-65x the total bet in the Free Spins is possible, plus our test team booked one extreme amount of 357x the total bet with 47 Free Spins. How is that possible? Well, there is no limit to the Free Spins number. With each win (no matter small or big) during the base game, you get closer to the bonus round. On display above the grid are the Calendar Indicator and Free Spins Accumulator. Once you reach the magic date of 25 December, the number displayed for the Free Spins is what you will be rewarded with. So, our testers had to wait a while longer, but the magic number of bonus spins was fantastic.
- There is also a tactic we tried here (most of the time successful), requiring ‘bouncing stake’ when we come close to the special number 25 of the December calendar. We were utilizing small bets around 1-2 CAD in the main spins, but once we were approaching 23, 24 December, we increased the stake to 9-10 CAD. This is only possible because, unlike other slots with changing the stake, you lose the accumulated progress. Here, you can keep it. Just try this strategy in the free mode, and decide for yourself.
Bottom line: this is one slot that we are very positive about. Highly recommended to all gambling enthusiasts with low means, as the Scrooge slot machine doesn’t oblige a large starting balance. Also, players who are satisfied with regular mid-size wins could see the worthiness of this machine. And lastly, the bonus hunters will most definitely appreciate the slot capability to preserve the balance – we have it listed with 6.93 (out of 10) index points. So we advise trying your chance to cover the wagering requirements here.
