1000 spins on Ho Ho Tower: final review

Mr. Casino does not directly associate Christmas with slots and casinos, but it has to be said: a small game in an online casino is a nice distraction between all (family) obligations.

In order to stay in the Christmas spirit, there is the Ho Ho Tower slot from game developer Elk Studios.

This slot machine is based on the Hong Kong Tower game, but very nicely decorated in a warm Christmas atmosphere, complete with moody Christmas music. And of course it snows softly on this winter lock.

How does Ho Ho Tower work?

The Ho Ho Tower slot has 99 paylines that you all play as standard. The minimum bet is a dime, the maximum bet is € 50 per spin.

You play with, how could it be otherwise, Christmas symbols. A sparkling golden 7, a Christmas star, a bonsai Christmas tree (why not and different kinds of Christmas candy. Nice.

Then there is a symbol with the words Ho Ho Tower. This is a mystery symbol. It changes to a different, regular symbol at the end of the spin.

Finally, there is a bonus symbol in the form of the yin-yang sign. If you spin at least three, anywhere on the reels, the bonus round starts: Wheels of the Sky. This is the same feature as with the Hong Kong Tower slot.

Wheels of the Sky consists of three levels. First you see a wheel of fortune with a number of prizes on it. If the wheel stops at a prize, you immediately win that amount of money. If the wheel stops on a plane with a picture of another wheel on it, you go to the next level. There are larger cash prizes on this wheel. If you are really lucky, you will end up with the "most expensive" wheel.

Sound complicated? That's not it. Watch:

If the wheel stops on an amount that you have already played, the bonus round ends.

There is another nice thing. If you get three bonus symbols on the reels, you start the bonus round with one "extra life" – so you can turn the wrong square once without the bonus ending immediately. Five bonus symbols earn two extra lives.

The mystery symbol can also change to a yin-yang sign. You immediately win the bonus with two extra lives. Ho ho ho!

The 1000 spins from Mr. Casino

Mr. Casino played 1000 spins on this Ho Ho Tower with the minimum bet of € 0.10 per spin.

What immediately strikes you: Ho Ho Tower brings you into a pure zen atmosphere. Is it because of the sultry soundtrack, combined with the soft, slowly falling snow and the beautiful warm Christmas decor?

The mystery symbols are fun and regularly make a profit, but they slow down the game a bit.

The bonus game started regularly. Mr. Casino was allowed to spin the wheels ten times. That's one in a hundred spins – not wrong.

The Ho Ho Tower bonus can be very profitable. It is, however, important to get a wheel "higher up" if you really want to start creating shovels. Mister Casino succeeds four times out of ten. Unfortunately, the third richest wheel has not been in the picture.

On average Meneer Casino won € 5.21 with the wheels, with a profit of € 14.90 as the outlier. With a bet of just a dime that is not wrong, says Mreer Casino.

Ho Ho Tower remains partly fun thanks to the exciting bonus 1000 spins long. Only Meneer Casino wanted to play with a slightly higher bet afterwards. Then turning the wheel is (much) more exciting.

On the other hand, now the loss is limited to just € 9.53 after more than two hours of fun!

About the Ho Ho Tower payout percentage

For the sake of clarity: the theoretical payout percentage (also known as RTP or return to player) of the Ho Ho Tower slot is 94.4%. This means that in the very long term, measured over millions of spins, this slot machine will pay 94.4 cents out of every euro bet again as prizes.

If you play a smaller number of spins, the actual payout percentage may be much higher or much lower than the 94.4% – a matter of luck or bad luck. Mr. Casino had less luck than average in the 1000 spins he played for this slot review, as the test session ended with a small loss. That says nothing about your chances of winning at Ho Ho Tower.

The result on Ho Ho Tower

• The loss after 1000 spins at € 0.10 per spin: € 9.53
• The 5 highest wins: € 14.90 / € 9.25 / € 6.52 / € 5.56 / € 3.70
• Wheels of the Sky: 10 times (average profit € 5.21)
• According to Elk Studios, the payout percentage (RTP) of Ho Ho Tower is: 94.4%

Final consideration

The Ho Ho Tower slot has been beautifully designed and the soundtrack is right in the spot if you like a quiet, calm Christmas. As you play relaxed, the snow swirls gently.

The feature is very exciting (because: how often can you turn the wheel and how much does it deliver?) And lucrative. Also nice: the minimum bet of just 10 cents. That saves again in the expensive December month.

Mr. Casino says, "Ho ho ho, merry Christmas!"
