Change over last year to Nolimit City for treating us to a twisted take on traditions with their Jingle Balls . For this studio , it ’ s an unusually upbeat yet irreverent title and one that doesn ’ t stray too far from its dark side .
A cigar-toting grinch and stoned elf look on as pervy Santa ’ s jingle balls are at the mercy of granny witch ’ s sharp fingernails . A border of Gulag barbed wire is , of course , added for good measure .
It certainly won ’ t fall foul of some bizarre rulings against images that “ may appeal to minors ” ( left ), which , if rigorously applied to all Christmas games and promotions , would leave our gaming and offers pages pretty bare . No need for a rant on this topic , so perhaps a picture can tell a thousand words .
Dealmaking was extremely quiet before Christmas with many companies keeping their powder dry for ICE . Pateplay remains the busiest studio and EveryMatrix the busiest aggregator .
Wishing you a belated Happy New Year and don ’ t forget to look out for the Casino Review 2023 .
