xWays
In the base game, xWays symbols can land on reels 1 and 2. Each one reveals a random regular symbol and can be 2 or 3 symbols in size. If more than one lands, they all reveal the same symbol.
xNudge Wilds
xNudge Wilds can land on reels 3 and 4 in the base game and in Spirit Spins. They are stacked wilds that always nudge up or down until they fill the whole reel, and each nudge adds 1 to the wild multiplier. If more than one lands, their multipliers are added together.
xSplit Wilds
Regular wilds can land on any reel. xSplit Wilds land on reels 5 and 6 in the base game, and they split all the symbols to their left and right, doubling them. A symbol that is split more than once shows a multiplier. After landing, each xSplit Wild turns into two regular wilds.
If an xSplit Wild splits a scatter in the base game, the scatter becomes an expanding wild that fills the whole reel. This only happens when Spirit Spins has not been triggered.
RECOMMENDED CASINOS TO PLAY Jingle Balls
Spirit Spins
Three or more scatters start Spirit Spins. First comes a setup spin, which decides how many spins you get and the win multiplier for each of the four top paying character symbols. There are three versions of the round:
- Spirit Spins (3 scatters): one random character is active
- All Aboard (4 scatters): all four characters are active
- Double Joy (5 scatters): the win multipliers are doubled, both in the setup spin and during the round
During the round, the top reel can raise the multipliers of the active characters by +1x, +2x or double the current value, or by +2x, +4x or double in Double Joy. Any increase stays for the rest of the round. Each extra scatter adds 1 spin, and collecting 3 scatters upgrades the round to All Aboard.
The layout also flips in Spirit Spins, with xWays moving to reels 5 and 6 and xSplit Wilds moving to reels 1 and 2.
Bonus Buy
The game also has a bonus buy, but it isn’t available to UK players.
Overall
Jingle Balls is a cheeky take on Christmas with plenty of Nolimit City’s usual features. The base game has a lot going on, and the three versions of Spirit Spins give you something to aim for.
