The Michigan Lottery is dressing up this holiday season to inspire revelers with their latest release, Holiday Cheer. With the holiday season in full swing, this feature could not have been released at a more appropriate time.
Players will delight in the bubbly and inviting atmosphere that includes a winter wonderland decked with the most memorable holiday accents and items. Match these symbols to either of the game’s winning symbols to claim the prizes displayed. It could not be easier; you will have plenty of fun as you work toward claiming the game’s top prize of $100,000.
Instant Game: Holiday Cheer
With snowdrifts abounding and glinting holiday decorations welcoming you to the game, Holiday Cheer lives up to its name. An understated yet splendidly polished design provides a memorable holiday experience to players in the search for real cash rewards.
While the standard game is a pleasant treat for every player to enjoy, many are playing in search of the Gifts Galore bonus feature. This is where the winter wonder really happens and prizes reach new heights. Unlock this special game feature for a crack at the big bucks, just in time for Christmas.
How to play
Beginning a game of Holiday Cheer is like many other features from the Michigan Lottery. Players can get started by selecting the value of their game ticket(s). Click the hamburger icon, the three horizontal lines on the game ticket. Here, you will see the Select Tickets heading. This is where you can select any number of tickets from three to nine. Slide the selector icon to the left or right of the bar to decrease or increase the number, respectively. After selecting the number of tickets you wish to play, select the value of each ticket. This is accomplished by increasing or decreasing the ticket’s value using the sliding bar next to the Ticket Cost heading.
Once that has been decided, all that is left to do is close the menu and click the golden Play button on the right-hand area of the screen. You will then have to match winning symbols to your symbols to win cash prizes.
Symbols include mittens, candy, golden bells, candles, gingerbread men, holly, snow globes, hot cocoa and wreaths, just to name a few. Every match made will award the player the corresponding cash prizes.
Bonus symbols and games
Holiday Cheer features bonus opportunities, with several bonus symbols adding to the winning potential:
- Revealing a 2X symbol will double the prize amount shown as an instant win.
- Revealing a stocking symbol instantly awards the player with a surprising amount.
- Revealing a present symbol unlocks the Gifts Galore Bonus for a guaranteed prize.
Gifts Galore bonus
In the Gifts Galore bonus game, players will participate in seven rounds, each with seven presents to choose from. Each present will have either a prize amount, a firework symbol or a hammer symbol. If a prize is revealed, collect it and advance to the next round. If a firework symbol is revealed, the player collects every prize in that round and advances to the next round. If a hammer symbol is revealed, the player collects the total bonus prize and exits the bonus round.
Wagering levels
There are six ticket values available to players in Holiday Cheer. Those amounts range from 10 cents to $4 per game. Players can also choose to purchase various numbers of tickets in sets of three, six or nine. As a result, prize values range from 10 cents to $100,000. The overall odds to win are 1 in 22.79.
