Flowers Christmas Edition
The Flowers Christmas Edition video slot was launched by the Swedish game developer NetEnt back in December 2015 just before that year’s festive fun began. This is as you can guess a Christmas themed version of their existing popular video slot Flowers and hopefully, you will’ blooming’ love it just as much.
Flowers Christmas Edition by NetEnt is a 5-reel, 30 pay-line online slot that offers double symbols in both the basic gameplay and the bonus free spins feature. Having double symbols means that you could have as many as 10 symbols on a win line, increasing the number of coins you can win. There are also multipliers and stacked wilds giving you the best opportunity to hit the top jackpot prize of 75,000 coins.

Loading up the game will initially show you a splash screen giving details of the main features of the Flowers Christmas Edition online slot. Just select the continue button to move on to the main game. You can disable this splash screen from re-appearing using the settings of the game. You will then be presented with the 5 reels of the game sat on a cool blue background with snowflakes all around.
The game symbols include four standard card symbols being J, Q, K and A all designed as Christmas Ginger Biscuits. You also have 5 different types of flowers, some not as pretty as others (definitely not the best-looking bunch) and then wild symbols in the form of winter sun and free spin symbols in the form of winter clouds. The former can become stacked during the free spins feature.
Before you begin with your Christmas festivities you should decide on a cost per spin that you are comfortable with. You can do this using the ‘Coin Value’ and ‘Bet Level’ options toward the bottom of the game screen.The Flowers Christmas Edition video slot has 6 coin levels ranging from 1p up to 50p and 5 bet levels.

You will also see a ‘Max Bet’ button and an ‘Auto Play’ button. Clicking the Max Bet will spin the reels at the maximum level based on your current coin value. Choosing the AutoPlay feature allows you to have the game spin the reels automatically. You can set the number of spins from 10 up to 1000 spins.
When you play the Flowers Christmas Edition video slot your main aim to maximise your winnings is to land the free spin symbols and activate the free spins feature. You will need at least 4 symbols to start off with the minimum 10 free spins. If you are able to land 8 free spin symbols by having doubled-up symbols, then you could get the maximum 30 free spins. You will also receive a multiplier on that particular first win dependant on how many free spin symbols you landed. This will be a multiplier of 2, 4 or 10.
During the free spins feature all coin wins are multiplied by x3 and the wild symbols become stacked so they can cover a full reel.

Is Flowers Christmas Edition the right video slot for you?
The Flowers Christmas Edition video slot has a theoretical RTP (return to player) of 96.3% giving a house edge of 3.7%. This is a slightly higher house edge than quite a few other NetEnt slots and was noticeable during our gameplay. We tested the game over 100 spins at a cost per spin of £1.50 and we found that the game produced wins frequently with never having a dry spell of more than 5 spins without a win. However, these frequent wins were of lower value coin payouts. Therefore, you felt like you were winning but the account balance didn’t show that to be the case.
The free spins symbols landed twice during our test with each occasions giving us the minimum 10 free spins. This is where the bigger prizes were achieved. The end result was that we turned over £150 and were in a positive cash balance of +£90 due to the free spin feature.
The game has decent coin prizes when you achieve a high number of symbols, especially the 10 symbol win. However, these never really came into play. We would, therefore, mark this slot as a medium variance game so be careful when wagering through a free casino bonus.
