From the 1st December 2023, bet365 Games has a brand new festive slot to play for customers in selected countries: Cops ‘n’ Robbers Big Money Christmas slot.
Now if that name sounds familiar, it is probably due to the fact that bet365 also released a Halloween version of the slot just a couple of months back!
So, what game designers Inspired have done is take the winning formula that is a key element of the Cops ‘n’ Robbers Big Money series of slots, and then replicated them in a yuletide theme.
Available across bet365 sites in Europe, though sadly not in the UK, this new festive slot is a hugely enjoyable addition to bet365 Games festive range of slots.

Essentially, what you have here is the same Cops ‘n’ Robbers Big Money slot game, just with a different look, this time a festive Christmas livery.
If that sounds like a cop out, no pun intended, then the truth of the matter is that this is a very popular slot game, so different versions of it are going to be popular at specific times of the year.
As in the original game, standard symbols can be stacked up to three high on the reels and can offer multiple wins across the reels in this way. However, those symbols that are Wild, or which can trigger bonuses like the Scatter symbol, are not stacked.
A potential jackpot of €250,000 is sure to attract the big hitters of the slot gaming world, while even those who play minimum stake per spin of €0.20 can still win up to €625.
It is this huge range of wins and stakes, which makes Cops ‘n’ Robbers Big Money Christmas sure to be a festive hit with slots fans over the festive season!
What Are Fortune Spins?
Fortune Spins offer you a brand-new way to play the Cops ‘n’ Robbers Big Money Christmas slot compared to the standard base game.
In this game mode, all the lower value symbols are removed from the reels and only the present symbols, the robber wild symbol and the scatter symbols are left on the reels.
While you cannot land lower value wins due to the lack of lower value symbols on the reel, when you play this game mode the Robber Wild is active and if you land the Wild with one or more of the present symbols anywhere on the reels, you will collect that prize.
Land two or more robber wilds on the reels and you could win 2x, 3x, 4x or even 5x the present bag amounts landed for that spin depending on how many robber wilds you land.
In this version of the game the present bag values are also increased to include amounts of 25x, 50x and 100x your bet, alongside the standard 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x your stake amounts as you get in the standard base game.
What Is the Gamble Feature?
You can elect to switch the Gamble Feature on or off when playing the Cops ‘n’ Robbers Big Money Christmas slot, or have it appear only when a certain amount has been won (5x your bet stake or more).
If triggered, the Gamble Feature presents you with two wheels. One of which will offer you the chance of some lower value wins. The other offers you a chance of much higher value wins.
The principle of the gamble on each wheel is the same. Spin the wheel and land the pointer in the green section of the wheel, and not the red section of the wheel, and you will win.
Obviously, the greater the size of the win you want to try and win, the smaller the green section will be on the reel.
The sectors of the wheel are sized based on the gamble you make. If you want to double your prize, then the wheel is split 50/50 red and green. But if you want to win 3x your prize, the wheel is split 66.6% red and 33.3% green.
Prudent use of the Gamble Wheel can enhance the Cops ‘n’ Robbers Big Money Christmas slot a great deal but be wary of using it too much as this can radically reduce the amount you win back from the game.
How Does the Big Money Bonus Game Work?
You can trigger the Big Money Bonus game in two ways. Either by purchasing the bonus game (for a lot more cash than a standard spin) to access it, or by landing three or more of the Scatter symbols on the reels.
Once you have triggered the game, either way, it starts and there are three main elements of the game you should be aware of.
At the top of the screen, you will see the Robber on a space and two spaces behind him will be the cop. A little further along from the two characters will be more steps and a 2x multiplier symbol and so forth.
Underneath this is the reels for the bonus and lastly, you will see a Christmas Tree on the right which will indicate what the current multiplier is for the bonus round.
You then spin the reels, and the aim is to keep the robber in front of the policeman by landing the robber wild on the reels more times than the policeman wild. Additionally, the robber wild, when landed will collect the value of any of the present symbols also landed on that spin.
The further the robber wild can progress in the bonus round, the more the multiplier on wins can grow from 1x up to 5x the stated win.
You don’t have a stated number of Free Spins, you simply spin until the cop lands on the same spot as the robber and arrests him to take him into court, which then offers you a chance at redemption and an opportunity to carry on spinning.
Heading to Court
Once you are taken into court, the cop gives evidence, and a judge will select which of the three suspects is found guilty. If your robber character gets away with it, you are free to continue your game with the robber once again two steps ahead of the policeman.
However, if the judge does pick the robber (Bert), the bonus game ends, and your winnings will be paid out to you.
This new Christmas version of the slot is as much fun to play as any other version and offers all the same great gameplay and rewards as the standard and Halloween versions. So if you live in a country where you can play the game, why not head over to bet365 Games now and see if you can land a few winning spins!
