As we approach the end of an eventful 2022, the release of holiday-themed games will only speed up. Yggdrasil is joining the trend of releasing Christmas-themed versions of existing games. This time, the game Raptor Doublemax is being reskinned as Christmas Plaza DoubleMax. This is the same game, but with holiday-inspired visuals.
The original game didn’t gain as much popularity as expected, but hopefully, this Christmas version will remind players of its exciting features. The game offers a doubling multiplier, which becomes even more thrilling when it never resets during the bonus round. With a potential of up to 20,000 times your stake, Christmas Plaza DoubleMax is worth checking out this season.
In the game, the premium symbols can pay between 2 and 5 times your stake for five-of-a-kind wins. There is also a wild symbol — a woman with a Santa hat and champagne — who can replace pay symbols to complete wins. After each win, the winning symbols are removed and a wild symbol spawns in an empty position. Each win also doubles the multiplier, which continues until no new wins are achieved.
The bonus round can be triggered by three, four, or five Christmas present scatter symbols, granting seven, ten, or thirteen free spins respectively. Players can choose to gamble for up to thirteen free spins, but risk losing the entire feature. The bonus round is different from the base game as the doubling win multiplier never resets.
To increase your chances of getting the bonus round, you can activate the Golden Bet feature, which costs 25% more per spin. Some jurisdictions also allow a Bonus Buy option, where you can purchase seven free spins for 100 times the stake.
While Yggdrasil hasn’t drastically changed the game’s presentation for the Christmas version, the underlying gameplay remains exciting and challenging. The increasing multiplier for each consecutive win is still thrilling, especially in the bonus round.
Despite the need to gamble for more than seven free spins, the Golden Bet feature makes triggering the bonus round less rare. With a potential of up to 20,000 times your stake, Christmas Plaza DoubleMax is one of the most intriguing Christmas releases this year.
The original game, Raptor Doublemax, has a dinosaur theme and comes with a win multiplier that doubles with each win. The wild multiplier never resets during the bonus round spins, offering a chance to win up to 20,000 times your stake.
Other games with similar features include Dublin Up Doublemax, a Celtic-themed game from Reflex Gaming, and Tiki Runner 2 — Doublemax, a Polynesian-themed game from Bulletproof Games. Both games offer a doubling win multiplier and a potential of up to 20,000 times your stake.
