The quarterfinal stage of the Battle of the Christmas Slots has officially concluded. In the final showdown for the last spot in the semifinals, Taco Brothers Saving Christmas from ELK Studios faced off against Space Christmas from 1×2 Gaming.
Notably, in the penultimate quarterfinal, the video slot Christmas Megaways from Iron Dog Studio triumphed over Aloha! Christmas from NetEnt, proving to be significantly more profitable. As a result, the battle ended with a decisive score of 2-0.
Watch the battle! Let's quickly recap the competition rules for our readers:
As always, the final quarterfinal in the Battle of the Christmas Slots was completely unpredictable. This is hardly surprising, given that all the participating slots are top-tier contenders. Consequently, the outcome of battles between roughly equal opponents often hinges on the whims of chance.
Finally, let's review the characteristics of the machines. Taco Brothers Saving Christmas and Space Christmas are both medium volatility slots with an RTP of up to 96%. However, their maximum payouts differ significantly—Taco Brothers offers a maximum win of just 15,000 coins, while Space Christmas boasts a potential 75,000 coins. Among the bonus features, the first slot includes Wild symbols, multipliers, as well as respin and free spin rounds. In contrast, the second slot not only has Wilds but also Scatters, and it features a bonus mini-game alongside its free spins round.
The participants in the first semifinal will be Lucky New Year from Pragmatic Play and Christmas Joy from Spinmatic.
