Naughty or Nice? Slots
Naughty or Nice slots presents a version of Santa who chases hot women behind Mrs. Claus' back. Interested in helping Santa get the Nice Girl or Naughty Girl, all while avoiding Mrs. Claus and her rolling pin? If so, follow along as we discuss this game's graphics, win potential, features, volatility, and more. We'll also give our verdict at the end of this Naughty or Nice slots review.
Gameplay
This game features 5 reels and 50 paylines on a 5x3 grid. You form winning combinations by getting at least 3 matching symbols in a payline. All your wins have to start in the first reel and move right (e.g., reels 1, 2, & 3).
Graphics & Setting
Naughty or Nice? feels like a traditional Christmas slot due to its setting. It features a well-decorated living room with candles, stockings, a chimney bottom, and Christmas tree. This game gets edgier when moving to the reels, where you'll see cleavage-bearing brunette and blonde symbols. All in all, Naughty or Nice slots has an interesting mix of traditional and more daring Xmas elements.
Symbols & Win Potential
Regular symbols include Santa, Mrs. Claus, a reindeer, Christmas present, holly, and five Xmas bulbs (A-10). Santa provides the highest payouts at 1,000x your line bet for five matches. Special symbols include a wreath (scatter) and two wild symbols (Naughty Girl & Nice Girl). The standard Naughty or Nice max win is 50,000x the line bet (i.e., 1,000x the total wager). This slot also has a progressive jackpot that's currently worth $5,476 at the time of our review.
Features
You can expect a few features in Naughty or Nice slots, including the following:
- Free spins - You unlock 10 free games by landing 3+ wreaths (labeled Naughty or Nice) anywhere on the reels. This bonus starts with you choosing the Nice Girl or Naughty Girl as the wild symbol. All prizes containing the chosen wild symbol are doubled. Every bonus wild also provides either 1 free spin, its reel held with the wild, or an instant payout worth up to 20x your wager.
- Scatter payouts - In addition to unlocking free spins, the wreath also delivers scatter payouts worth 20x and 200x your total bet for 4 or 5 scatters, respectively.
- Progressive jackpot - You need 5 Nice Girl symbols in a payline during the base game to win the progressive jackpot. You'll also hit the progressive prize through 5 bonus wild symbols during free spins. No prize is paid for 5 Santas if you win the jackpot.
Betting Options
The Naughty or Nice? version we played has 50 fixed paylines and a minimum $0.02 per line bet. Therefore, you must wager at least $1 per spin, assuming our version applies to all online casinos. The line bet ranges from $0.02 to $5, with the latter maxing your wager out at $250. An autoplay option is available to the right of the spin button. It lets you keep the reels spinning for anywhere between 5-100 rounds. You can also choose to halt autoplay when triggering free games.
RTP & Volatility
As is usual with RealTime Gaming (RTG) slots, no Naughty or Nice RTP figure is available. RealTime gives casinos three options, including 91%, 95%, and 97.5%—but you can't see what they pick. No volatility rating is available, although we're guessing Naughty or Nice slots has medium-to-high or high volatility.
About RealTime Gaming

Some of its notable hits include Achilles Deluxe, Bubble Bubble 3, Cash Bandits 3, Cleopatra's Gold, Escape the North, Jackpot Pinatas Deluxe, Lucha Libre 2, Medieval Crusades, and Primal Warriors Legacy. Of course, these games are in addition to the Naughty or Nice? series, which includes parts 1, 2, and 3.
Final Thoughts on Naughty or Nice Slots
Naughty or Nice is the game that started one of the most popular Christmas slots trilogies of all time. It was among the first online slots to put an edgy spin on Christmas, showing that Santa isn't entirely perfect. We like the features to this game, including a progressive jackpot, two wild symbols, and free spins. Nothing is revolutionary about Naughty or Nice slots by today's standards, but it's still a solid game. That said, we give it an 8/10 rating.
