As for bringing this Charles Dickens classic back from the embers of England of 1843, this newly added slot to Microgaming’s catalogue of games is a truly haunting one indeed, however, more optimistically incorrect in tone. These Dickens characters are a trite too happy for their poverty-stricken situations to be authentic, still in a redeeming story between greed and redemption everybody from tiny Tim to Ebenezer Scrooge look to be as giddy as contestants on the Price is Right.

All three ghosts of Christmas past, present and future have materialized on the reels with the chain-bearing Marley and friends all twirling in either a snowy evening on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day, depending on whether players are either in the normal round or the December 25th bonus round. Picture perfect graphics and a showy soundtrack makes playing this slot seem like a trip to the movies.

This packaged slot just in time for the new release of Scrooge with Jim Carrey comes under the tree with a little tweak of innovation with a calendar page for the ‘free spins’ marker much like a nativity calendar. Go from December 1st  to December 25th in round along with a peculiar bonus feature where players will get to drag and drop food on the plates of their Dickens characters at a group dinner. A bonus multiplier will multiply winnings by 500 coins, it's enough to spread the wealth around for certain karmic returns.
