Christmas Workshop: Hold The Spin – Gamzix Unwraps a Festive new Slot

Gamzix is ringing in the season with Christmas Workshop: Hold The Spin, a joyful new release that captures the warmth, nostalgia, and excitement of the holidays. Set inside Santa’s bustling toy workshop, this 3×5, 125-payway slot blends cozy Christmas aesthetics with a high-volatility Hold & Spin experience capable of delivering wins up to 10,000× the bet.

Packed with tumbling presents, escalating multipliers, and charming animations (including a sleepy house cat who perks up when the bonus triggers), this is one of Gamzix’s most festive and feature-rich holiday slots to date.

🎄 What Makes This Slot Shine?

Christmas Workshop goes beyond simple seasonal visuals — it’s loaded with dynamic mechanics that keep every spin feeling full of possibility.

Hold the Spin Bonus Game

Trigger the Bonus Game by landing 6 or more Present symbols anywhere on the reels or through the Heap of Presents feature. You’ll receive 3 respins, which reset each time a new Present or special symbol appears.
Inside the bonus, only high-value symbols drop:

• Present prizes worth 0.5×–5× bet
• Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Presents are worth 10×, 20×, 50×, and 2,000× bet
• Multiplier symbols that expand the excitement

Presents slide downward in Tetris-style movement, filling empty spaces until the bottom row is packed — then the row clears and pays out, making room for more gifts and more chances to keep the respins going.

Bonus Game Multiplier

A star mechanic in the workshop:

• Every time a Multiplier symbol lands on a fully filled bottom row, it increases the global Bonus Multiplier by +1.
• Once the multiplier reaches 2× or higher, it applies to every bottom-row payout, including Mini–Grand Presents.

Stacking multipliers with cascading Present clears creates the potential for sensational chain reactions — and massive holiday payouts.

Wild Symbols & Base Game Flow

The base game features Wilds and charmingly animated symbols — elves, toys, reindeer, and Santa himself — all contributing to a lively, heartwarming atmosphere.

Buy Bonus Feature

For players who don’t want to wait, the Buy Bonus option costs 50× the bet and provides a guaranteed triggering spin.

🎁 Holiday Atmosphere Done Right

Gamzix describes the theme as inspired by classic 1960s and 1970s holiday postcards, and it shows.
Soft lighting, handcrafted toys, warm wood textures, falling snow, and vintage festive charm make every spin feel like stepping into a storybook.
The attention to detail — including the workshop cat waking up when the bonus begins — adds personality and whimsy to the experience. This is a Christmas slot with a soul.
