Slotmill Makes Xmas Enhancements on Brew Brothers for a Seasonal Sequel

Software provider Slotmill joins others like Pragmatic Play on the seasonal swing and unveils its first Christmas slot. The studio picked Brew Brothers, released in early 2024, for the festive upgrade and created Brew Brothers Xmas Brew.

While it is a sequel, the new slot feels like a reskin of the first release since all the features remain the same. However, guided by player feedback, Slotmill recalibrated the slot to release what seems like a Brew Brothers deluxe version. The maximum payout potential is a critical area that has been tweaked and expanded to 15,000x the bet.

Seasonal Cosmetic Tweaks

Brew Brothers Xmas Brew takes players back to the same location as before, but the outer shell is decorated to match the season. Snow coats the deep woods where the brothers’ house stands, with a snowman and Christmas tree placed up front, flanking each side of the 5x4 grid.

The slot accepts bets from $0.20 to $60, and it offers an Xtra-Bet option that increases the odds of activating free spins by 2.5x for 50% extra on the wager. The game remains highly volatile but with a slightly higher RTP of 96.14%.

Familiar Delights

Brew Brothers Xmas Brew enhances gameplay with the same bonus features as its predecessor:

• Multiplier Wilds: This special symbol lands on the three center reels only and can have a 2x or 3x multiplier attached. Multiple wilds on the same payline are added together.
• Old Betty: This second wild can add one to nine multiplier wilds on the second to fourth reels. Only one Old Betty Wild can appear on a reel.
• Free Spins: Three scatters trigger seven free spins, where wilds landing on the three middle reels remain sticky. The Old Betty Wild is also upgraded to Gold Betty and remains in view for the duration of the feature.
• Tractor Bonus: Filling the second to fourth reels with wilds creates a giant wild covering the middle positions. Any multipliers are added to the giant wild, and extra wilds from the Gold Betty feature drive up the multiplier by +1.

Slot Developer/Player Symbiosis

This new release proves Slotmill’s commitment to refining products with the guidance of player feedback. The software provider did the same for past releases like Coin Quest 2, demonstrating a symbiotic interaction with its audience. While the studio’s primary focus remains on revenue-generating games, witnessing changes meant to enhance the experience for players boosts its reputation.
