SLOT SESSION // 1,500 SPINS
At Endorphina's declared 96.05%, a run of 1,500 spins at this bet averages out around -59× stake, shown as the dashed line. This one ended at -250×, about 4.2× further down than the average run. One session swings hard either way; the gap is the swing, not the game's payout rate.
The driest stretch ran 35 spins without a single win, spins 807 to 841.
All 10 share one vertical scale, so their shapes are comparable. The deepest block lost -113× the stake, while 2 finished in profit, the best at +158×. These are consecutive blocks of one continuous session, not 10 separate sittings: the balance never reset. Block 1 was played through the game's own interface; the rest replayed the bet call directly. Same numbers either way; only the first can be photographed.
3 frames captured by the rig during the recorded session. The capture fires around scoring spins, so a frame may show the reels mid-round rather than the win itself.
Our review of Best Xmas
This Best Xmas review comes from a full test, not a first impression. I spent October 2026 on Endorphina's slot: 10 separate sessions, 1,500 spins in total, and my short verdict is that I'd skip it. At a flat 0.05 stake the run returned 83.3% against a stated RTP of 96.05%, and my best hit of the whole test was 251x. The only players who might still give it a look are high-volatility fans comfortable sitting through deep drawdowns.
How I ran it: 10 sessions of about 150 spins each, and every session was a fresh launch of the game in its own browser with its own balance, which reset between them. Every spin ran in the game's free mode, so the stake sat in a play-money wallet, not real money. All the figures below are the whole set added up.
The stated RTP was read from the game's own server during the run, not from a catalog.
The stated volatility is high, and my run matched it. Wins land at a 14.7% clip, so most spins pay nothing, and the longest stretch without any win at all ran 35 spins. The deepest hole my balance fell into was 333x the stake.
Big wins were just as rare: exactly 1 (100x+) in 1,500 spins. That hit, 251x, was the one bright moment of the month, and it still sits far below the advertised max win of 1,700x.
Nothing in my sessions broke the pattern: rare small wins, one decent hit, long cold stretches. To be fair, 10 separate sessions adding up to 1,500 spins is still just a sample, not a measurement of the game's payout rate, which only settles over tens of thousands of spins. By the end of the last session the whole test sat at -250x the stake, and only 2 of the 10 sessions finished above water.
Pros:
Cons:
Best Xmas suits one type of player: someone who enjoys high volatility and has a balance deep enough to sit through a 333x drawdown without panic. Even that player should know my test landed well under the stated RTP and never came close to the advertised 1,700x. Casual players after steady small wins should stay away: a 14.7% hit frequency with 35-spin dry spells wears a balance down fast.
My rating: 2/10. The paper specs look fine, but the run paid back 83.3%, only 2 of the 10 sessions ended ahead, and 1,500 spins produced exactly one big hit. A set of 10 separate sessions doesn't define a slot, and someone else could catch a better month. It does decide whether I come back, and I won't.
18+. Slots don't make money, so gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.

Best Xmas arrives as a December 2025 release from Endorphina, built around a straightforward 3x3 grid. This is a Christmas and Holiday-themed slot.
The 3x3 grid is compact, with Wild symbols substituting for regular pays to complete combinations. Respins trigger in certain situations to extend play without requiring a fresh bet. Symbol Collection builds toward goals that unlock additional rewards, while Multipliers can amplify payouts when they appear. Instant Prize symbols carry immediate cash values, and the Jackpot mechanic offers a top-tier payout.
Hold And Win locks valuable symbols in place across multiple spins, creating tension as the board fills. Pick Bonus presents a selection of hidden prizes, with the player choosing which to reveal.
The 96.05% RTP sits essentially at the industry average of 96%, meaning theoretical returns align with typical expectations over extended play. High volatility shapes the session into longer dry spells punctuated by less frequent but more substantial hits. Bankroll management matters here; the math demands patience and sufficient funds to ride out lean stretches. The 1,700x max win is modest, a ceiling that casual players may find approachable but high-stakes hunters will likely find limiting.
Christmas and Holiday themes dominate the aesthetic. The 3x3 grid reinforces a classic, almost nostalgic slot feel.
Best Xmas earns its 5/10 rating through competent execution of familiar mechanics rather than innovation. The 3x3 grid and high volatility create a specific niche: players who prefer concentrated sessions and can tolerate variance without expecting blockbuster payouts. The 1,700x ceiling and standard RTP leave little room for standout appeal. Those seeking a holiday-themed distraction with moderate ambition will find it serviceable.
