Xmas Teddy x1000: Slot Overview
Due on 3 December 2026, Xmas Teddy x1000 takes Playson’s 6-reel, 5-row scatter-pays candy formula, wraps it in fairy lights, and pairs it with a very-high volatility profile, an RTP of 95.68% and a max win of 20,000x the base bet. As the splash screen makes clear right away, the "x1000" in the title is not the payout ceiling. It is the biggest single multiplier coin on the reels, while the overall win cap sits twenty times higher.
Despite the name on the marquee, the mascot sitting on a pile of gem-studded gold coins to the left of the reels is not a stitched plush toy. He is a glossy, translucent blue gummy bear wearing a Santa hat and a lit string of multi-coloured Christmas bulbs around his neck. The action plays out inside a candy-cane frame set against a dark purple backdrop, lit by soft rays of light and a few drifting snowflakes.
Playson splits the nine regular symbols cleanly by how they look on the purple grid. The five low-paying sweets, an orange oval candy, a blue round candy, a pink diamond, a green triangular gumdrop and a red heart, float frameless against the dark background. The four premiums sit inside bright, colour-coded square frames: a sugar-dusted blue jelly slice, a pink-and-orange lollipop, a green flower candy with an orange centre, and a red-and-white swirl lollipop at the top of the chart.
Xmas Teddy x1000: Slot Features
A 6×5 scatter-pays grid and flat paytable brackets
There are no paylines across the 30-cell board. Instead, landing eight or more matching sweets anywhere in view awards a payout and triggers a cascade: winning symbols burst, the remaining icons drop down, and new ones fall from above until no more 8+ groups connect. Bets run from 0.20 to 100.00 per spin.
A yellow "W" biscuit topped with rainbow sprinkles acts as the Wild. It carries no payout of its own, and it does not substitute for the Scatter, the Super Scatter, or the Multiplier symbol. Its sole purpose is to step in for regular sweets and push near-misses across the eight-symbol minimum.
| Symbol | 8-9 | 10-11 | 12+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red swirl lollipop | 5x | 10x | 50x |
| Green flower candy | 2x | 5x | 20x |
| Pink lollipop | 1.5x | 4x | 15x |
| Blue jelly | 1x | 2x | 10x |
| Red heart | 0.75x | 1.5x | 5x |
| Green gumdrop | 0.5x | 1.25x | 4x |
| Pink diamond | 0.4x | 1x | 2.5x |
| Blue round candy | 0.25x | 0.75x | 1.5x |
| Orange candy | 0.2x | 0.5x | 1x |
Because the paytable is locked into three flat tiers, 8 to 9, 10 to 11, and 12 or more, extra symbols inside a bracket do not add a penny. Nine matching candies pay the exact same prize as eight, eleven pay the same as ten, and a screen-filling drop of 20 or 30 matching symbols pays the flat 12+ rate. On the lower end of the table, that structure makes small cascades a slow drain on your balance: all five frameless sweets pay between 0.2x and 0.75x at the 8-9 tier, meaning a single minimum-sized cluster will not even cover the cost of the spin. The real jumps happen when you cross into the next bracket (moving from 8-9 to 10-11 doubles or triples every symbol’s value) or hit 12+ on the framed premiums, which scale up 10x from their entry prize compared to 5x to 8x on the low symbols.
Base-game multipliers and the Sugar Teddy Feature
The bear’s stash of gold coins, stamped with coloured stars and carrying values from x2 all the way up to a rainbow-rimmed x1000, can drop onto the grid on any spin. In the base game, those coins only matter if the spin also produces at least one 8+ winning cluster. When a cascade sequence finishes, the values of all multiplier coins on the board are added together and applied to the total win from that spin.
The gummy bear also gives his name to the base-game "Sugar Teddy Feature," which acts as a second-chance bridge into the bonus round. Standard triggers rely on non-paying gold hexagon Scatters stamped with the bear’s portrait: landing 4, 5, or 6 or more awards 15, 20, or 25 Free Spins. There is also a rainbow Super Scatter that appears only on reel 6 during the base game. If that Super Scatter lands alongside 3, 4, or 5+ regular Scatters, the round upgrades to 15, 20, or 25 Super Free Spins.
Whenever a Scatter lands on the board, or a Super Scatter hits reel 6, without enough companions to trigger the bonus naturally, the Sugar Teddy Feature has a random chance to fire. The bear wakes up and tosses extra Scatters onto the grid until either Free Spins or Super Free Spins are triggered, and he can throw multiplier coins across the reels in the same animation. The bear changes colour from blue to green to red to show its progress.
If you want to push the odds without paying for a direct buy, an Extra Bet toggle labeled "Higher Chance for Bonus" raises the stake to 1.5x per spin in exchange for a higher trigger rate on both Free Spins and Super Free Spins. It buys no round outright.
Free Spins, the double-gated Total Multiplier, and bonus buys
Triggering the bonus swaps the dark purple backdrop for a bright rainbow burst dusted with golden snowflakes, while the bear crouches over his gold hoard to watch the reels tumble.
The core draw of the feature is a persistent Total Multiplier meter, though the rulebook puts two strict gates on how it works:
- You need a win to bank a coin. A multiplier coin (x2 to x1000) is only added to the Total Multiplier meter if it lands on a free spin that also produces at least one winning cluster. If a coin drops on a dead spin, it simply disappears.
- You need a new coin to use the meter. The accumulated Total Multiplier does not apply to every win in the bonus. It only multiplies the payout of a winning free spin if at least one new multiplier coin lands on the grid during that same spin. If you connect a cluster with no multiplier coin in sight, you only collect the standard paytable value while your banked multiplier waits for the next spin.
Landing three or more Scatters (or Super Scatters) during the bonus adds 5 extra free spins. The round plays out until your spin counter runs dry or the total win reaches 20,000x the base bet, at which point the feature ends at once and pays the cap.
Both bonus modes can be bought straight from the menu, and the buy fires on the first press with no confirmation step. Free Spins cost 100x the bet and randomly award 15, 20, or 25 spins with the full x2 to x1000 multiplier coin pool in play. Super Free Spins cost 500x the bet and randomly award 15, 20, or 25 spins as well, but the Super Scatter sits on every reel and every multiplier coin below x10 is stripped out, so each coin landing on the board is worth between x10 and x1000.
Because the 20,000x max win (worth up to 2,000,000.00 at the 100.00 top stake) is always measured against the base bet, the 500x Super Free Spins buy effectively caps out at 40 times its purchase price. Hitting that ceiling takes serious buildup in the meter followed by a well-timed coin drop: even a 12+ cluster of the top-paying red swirl lollipop (50x) needs an active x400 Total Multiplier on the same spin to hit the 20,000x mark.
How Xmas Teddy x1000 fits into Playson’s lineup
The most telling comparison for Xmas Teddy x1000 is Playson’s own Sugar Teddy 2, scheduled for 19 November 2026, two weeks earlier. Both games share the 6×5 pay-anywhere cascade grid, the 95.68% RTP, the 20,000x cap, the 100x and 500x Bonus Buys, and the bear that pitches in extra Scatters. Look closer at the rules, though, and the Christmas edition comes up short in two places. First, Sugar Teddy 2 offers three Extra Bet levels (1.5x, 2x, and 10x the bet) compared to the single 1.5x toggle here. Second, and much more importantly, Sugar Teddy 2 grows its board from 6×5 to 6×7 during free spins. Those 12 extra symbol spaces (42 cells instead of 30) make a real difference in a game where your banked Total Multiplier only pays when a cluster and a fresh multiplier coin land on the same spin. Paying the same 500x for Super Free Spins on a static 30-cell board makes Xmas Teddy x1000 the tighter of the two siblings.
Within the wider Playson catalogue, the studio has been stamping the "x1000" label across several games. Lucky Pots x1000 matches the 95.68% RTP, 20,000x cap, and kept free-spins Total Multiplier, but runs on a three-pot trigger and charges a lower 400x for its Super buy. Golden Penny x1000: Super Wheel uses a 6×5 cascade grid with x2 to x1000 coins and a 20,000x cap (at a slightly lower 95.49% RTP), bringing in a wheel to decide its multiplier. If you prefer lower ceilings, Playson’s Sugar Piggy runs a 6×5 scatter-pays board at 95.68% RTP with a 10,000x max win, while the studio’s other holiday release, 4 Pots Riches Xmas: Super Wheel Power Chance, checks in at 95.70% RTP with a 15,000x cap.
Outside Playson, the rule that a banked free-spins total multiplies only on spins where a new multiplier joins a win is the one used in Starlight Princess – Oranje Jackpot, which caps at 5,000x. Xmas Teddy x1000 is also dated 3 December 2026, the same day as Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza Xmas 2500, a Christmas-candy game with a 25,000x max win. Xmas Teddy x1000 hits the seasonal notes visually, and the x10 floor on its Super Free Spins coins can build a large meter quickly, but anyone comparing spec sheets will notice that Sugar Teddy 2 gives you twelve more grid spots in the bonus for the same price.
