The '12 Days of Christmas' is generally referred to as the 12 days after Christmas day and celebrates a saint for every day, with a special feast or celebration. It is also known for the song where the singer receives a present for each of these days from their true love and it’s a common pop culture reference.

We’ve taken a different approach to the 12 days of Christmas and given you 12 of the top slot games packed with holiday joy and wrapped with a bow. It’s up to you if you want to spin after Christmas day or in the time before to get you in the holiday spirit. You can even spin most of these reels the whole year around!

1. Santa’s WILD Ride

   

   Watch out - Santa has traded his sled for a motor cycle and hired an elf as a mechanic for this cool spinner from Microgaming. This funny take on the holidays depicts another side of the Christmas leadup when Santa has a day off to roam around.

   If you find three of his keys, you’ll activate the Free Spins bonus round, and get the choice between Expanding Wilds, Trailing Wilds or Stacked Wilds. If you’ve been good this year, you might also trigger the Free Gift Bonus if you get a Gift Box on reel 2 & 4.

   We're starting the list of the 12 best Christmas slots in 2018 by joining Santa on his Wild ride at Dunder casino today!

    In this 3D slot from software provider Betsoft we’ll join Scrooge while he’s waiting in his bed anxiously, unaware of the three ghosts who are coming for him. Just like any game from Betsoft, the screen comes to life when one of the three ghosts come to visit, and with names like “Ghost of past winning spins”, “Ghost of present wilds” and “Ghost of future winning spins” you probably get the idea of what they want to show you.

This is a new slot, but effectively a clone of the excellent Eggomatic, that has been released just in time for the Festive Season and works in the traditional way with free spins and Wild replacements. The way it differs though, is with the 4 Christmas baubles that can activate different type of bonus effects and keep the players on their toes.

    For each spin, this steam punk Santa will pull the lever and a bauble might randomly get thrown up to the Xmas gnomes above the reels. These baubles will come in handy in combination with a Wild symbol in the same reel.
