Say you are out shopping and are waiting around for someone to make a decision as to what to buy great aunt Sue. Or perhaps you’ve been put in charge of the Turkey and need something to while away the hours in between basting sessions.
Or maybe, as much as you love your family, you need to just shut the door for five minutes and distract yourself, whilst still keeping a little festive cheer at hand.
We have a solution for you.
Grab your tablet, your mobile phone, go hide in the bathroom if you must, and play these top 10 best Christmas mobile slots to get you back in the mood for the festivities.
And when we say ‘Christmas’ we also sometimes mean ‘wintery’ – because what you also want are mobile phone slots that are fun to play and payout big at the end of the day. So with out further a do here is our list of the best slots to play at casinos this festive season.
10. Wild Huskies
We begin our wintery tale with a Hallmark movie about courage and dogs lost in the far wilderness. A Bally Technologies game, this is an easy playing slot machine, with 5 reels and 40 paylines to liven up your day. Wild Huskies slot is all about the stacked wilds, which keep you company until you hit the free spin bonus round and the click me feature.
This is not the most hard-hitting of the Christmas slots online in our list, but it’s pleasant enough and playable to help with the distraction. In fact, exactly like a Hallmark movie.

9. Lucky Angler
NetEnt slot fans will be surprised to find that this is the only game by this famous software provider in our list. Not because we don’t like them, but because they clearly don’t love Xmas or winter, giving us few to choose from.
As choices go, Lucky Angler Touch slot is not a bad one. With 15 paylines that pay both ways, you’ll be fishing for more than free spins here as you try and find those paying wilds. Remaining sticky on the screen for as long as you can get a win, it’s a nice twist to a fun low variance game.
You won’t win enough to cover the whole of Christmas, but you might be able to cover the cost of the dinner, and that’s not a bad sum to start.

8. Santa Surprise
Xmas slot lovers will fall in love with this Santa Surprise mobile game the moment they open it up. It has sleigh bells and presents, and even the voice of Santa Claus congratulating you on a 5 of a kind win.
Again, this 20 payline machine is fairly low variance, so don’t expect big jackpot wins, as this is more stocking filler than brand new TV. That said, it’s higher up the list than the other two slots as it does hide a 20,000x your bet win in here somewhere.
Sure, that sum is more wishful thinking than reality, but isn’t Chrimbo all about hope?

7. Santa’s Gifts
It was in our best chrimbo slot list last year, and it’s back again for good reasons. Sure it’s a 3 reel, 8 payline game. So yes, Santa’s Gifts classic slot is the only one in our collection this year that’s not a video slot, but it deserves a spin just for how beautiful and simple it is.
Even if you’re not into 3-reelers.
With the white snow falling through the window pane, you’ll spin gingerbread cookies and baubles as you hope to hit 3 stars and get the max win of 1,000x your bet.

6. Santa Paws
The claus of this story is a polar bear, riding a killer whale Rudolph led sleigh, and handing out presents to all the good penguins and snow bunnies around.
The theme of the Santa Paws video slot, we won’t lie, is nothing to shout about. It’s not that pretty, it’s not that funny, and the sounds (other than during the free spins round) are not even that interesting. But it’s cute. We guess.
This is all about the free spins where you can get up to 7x multiplier and extra wilds, making playing worthwhile each and every time.
5. Penguin Vacation
A carbon copy of our of our all time favourite Playtech game, the Great Blue slot, we knew we were going to like these little sliding penguins the moment we opened it.
This is of the higher variance scale, so be careful with your budget on this one. However, the stacked wilds make the base game worthwhile, whilst the free spins with up to 15x multiplier up for grabs is where all the excitement mounts up for some colossal wins.
The theme might be cute and fluffy, but Penguine Vacation slot is anything but.
4. Winterberries
We should warn our UK casino players that the Winterberries mobile phone slot has been removed from your little slice of the world, so you might as well skip to the next slot.
Now that they are gone, the rest of you can read smugly about how you get a winter crimbo slot like few others. Full of sticky wins, where the symbols stay frozen on the reels until you get no more of the same kind of symbol, it’s exciting on every spin.
Especially when you get a screen full of symbols and you get a multiplier for each reel you cover with the same symbol. Beautiful.
3. Deck the Halls
We’d argue this is by far the most beautiful of the lot, perfectly bringing the spirit of the festive season alive.
Deck the halls slot is one of our favourites to play around this time of year, and not just because the rest of the time we forget it’s there, but because it comes with some surprising wins.
For one, the highest paid symbol on the reels comes stacked, so when it hits, it hits with a bang. But it’s during the free spins where everything comes together, and you get stacked santas, stacked wilds with a x4 multiplier, and then 10 free spins and a 2x multiplier on every win guaranteed.
You’ll be singing fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la…
2. Siberian Storm
Now we know what you are thinking. What do white tigers and the great Russian tundra have anything to do with Christmas?
How about the fact that it’s 720 ways to win, pays both ways, stacked wilds bonanza of a slot?
Yeah we know it still doesn’t explain it, but once you open up Siberian Storm by IGT, you won’t care that there’s not one stocking to be found. This hexagonal slot is not for the faint of heart, that said, with only those brave enough to face the icy north (and with the budget to match) able to tame these wild tigers.
Your rewards will be huge wins beyond your cold icy dreams.
1. Merry Xmas
What’s this? A Play’n GO slot at the top of our list? Beating Microgaming, IGT and NetEnt? How is this possible??
It was a tough call, we won’t lie. We could have gone either way with the top three. But Merry Xmas slot won because:
- It was new this year
- It actually had a Christmas slot machine theme
- It stripped everything back and brings it back to basics
What do we mean by that last one? It doesn’t have free spins, or complicated bonus features. What it has is 15 paylines, wilds, scatters and a decent click me bonus.
If that sounds boring be prepared to be surprised by the wins that are possible in this game, as the symbols come stacked and you get random multipliers on the wild, from 2x to 5x your bet, leading to a multitude of wins.
It’s time to get a cup of spiced mulled wine and enjoy a winter wonderland of slots.
