This is a XMAS holiday-themed slot game from IGT which borrows all of its features from the annual, ‘Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways’ shows where the iconic talk show host, comedian actor and philanthropist Ellen DeGeneres gives away millions of dollars worth of prizes to the audience over the 12 days of giveaways special shows.

If you are lucky enough to get tickets to the shows held in December you could walk away with anything from a TV, a cash gift voucher, a bed, a holiday or some awesome kitchen appliances of just a few items to be won.

This game is the third installment of the Ellen themed slots from IGT after Ellen’s Dance Party and Ellen’s Have a Little Fun Today slots. This is a 5 reel and 30 paylines video slot and it can be played for free online at the DoubleDown Casino, not seen a real money version of this game but i have played it in several land casinos and have had a few cracker wins while having a spin on it.

** The IGT Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways slot app might be available to play for free on your iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows device, PC or Mac. Just take a peek at our FREE SLOT GAMES HERE. **
