The originalCash Truckis a hard-hitting, post-apocalyptic car chase slot from Quickspin, and making it their Xmas reskin release is a daring and excellent choice. Cash Truck Xmas Delivery puts you in the driver seat with a cigar smoking bad Santa and his evil elves, as they’re trying to cancel Christmas by chasing down the present delivery truck somewhere close to the North Pole.
Armed to the teeth with Molotov cocktails and other weaponry, the high-speed chase across the frozen lake eventually takes you closer to a city in the Truck Raider bonus round. The arctic landscape is beautifully crafted, and you get plenty of grid expanding action in all stages. Players tired of the usual cliche Xmas releases are gonna love this one, and it’s an excellent production that feels fresh and new despite being a reskin job.

Winning symbols are removed via thecascading mechanic, and this also opens up 3 randomly chosen locked positions at the top of the grid. New and/or existing symbols will then drop down to fill the empty spaces, and the process repeats if a new win is created. You can open up all locked positions this way, to getup to 16,807 ways to win.

We had a great time testing Cash Truck Xmas Delivery from Quickspin, and it’s not too often you get to see a Christmas slot of this caliber. We have whipped together a brief and edited highlights video for your viewing pleasure as we usually do, and you can check it all out by hitting the play button below.
Quickspin is really leading the way with this high-octane Xmas release. Do developers really think that most slot players want semi-cozy, Coca Cola commercial Christmas reskins each year? Perhaps the grandmother demographic, but we’re pretty sure most younger players prefer the explosive bad Santa action you get in spades in Cash Truck Xmas Delivery. Not all Xmas release can be as hardcore as this, of course, but there is plenty of room for improvement.
This is a game we’ll probably return to all year round, and visually it’s almost more impressive than the original. The game really shines in the Truck Raider bonus round in that regard, with the waves of Aurora Borealis dancing above the snowy mountains. The hilarious backstory adds depth to the gameplay, and both the base game and the bonus round are jam-packed with highly entertaining non-stop action. This is a contender for Xmas slot of the year, and one of the best ever.
Pros
Cons
Cash Truck- is the highly explosive original post-apocalyptic release from Quickspin, and you get tumbling wins that unlock random positions here as well. Although there is plenty of action packed into the base game, the Truck Raider feature is what you’re really looking forward to. The max win is 25,000x your stake.
Money Train 3- is the popular 3rd installment in Relax Gaming’s highly influential series, and the base game comes with a random sticky symbols streak respins feature. The big attraction is the Money Cart bonus round, of course, and it comes with 13 special symbols and a staggering 100,000x potential.
Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special- is another Quickspin Xmas release based on a previous success story, and the original is one of their most iconic releases to date. The wolf looks even more menacing in his Santa outfit, and he huffs and puffs to blow the 3 little piggies houses down in the bonus round as usual.
