Goated Proves It’s Never Too Late for Christmas With $18,023 Slot Win

Just because Christmas is over, it doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying Christmas-themed slots. This tends to be proven year after year by players who continue to enjoy games laden with snowmen, reindeer, and Santa himself, and come out with thousands more dollars than expected.

A fine example for this year comes from Goated Casino, where a member of the site, who may or may not have joined using the Goated promo code “MAXBONUS”, was enjoying spinning the reels of Pragmatic Play’s ‘Starlight Christmas’ slot.

After betting $39.80 worth of Solana, Jest420 was able to acquire an impressive 452.75x multiplier. The reward was a payout worth $18,023.00.

That’s a wonderful start to 2026.

Starlight Christmas is a festive-themed online slot by Pragmatic Play and a direct Christmas reskin of Starlight Princess. It uses a 6×5 grid with a scatter-pay system, where wins are formed by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels.

The game features high volatility, a maximum RTP of 96.5%, and supports bets from $0.20 to $100.00 per spin.

There are no wild symbols, but multiplier symbols play a key role, appearing with values from 2x to 500x and boosting wins at the end of tumble sequences. Free spins are triggered by landing 3 or more Santa hat scatters, awarding 15 spins and growing multipliers, with retriggers available.

Players can also buy into the bonus round, and the maximum win is capped at 5,000x the stake.
