A Christmas Carol is one of the most popular novels by Charles Dickens. It tells the story of the miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who hated the spirit of giving in Christmas. On one Christmas Eve the ghost of his business partner Marley, along with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, visit Scrooge and leave him full of love, kindness and joy. Microgaming and Playtech have released slot games based on A Christmas Carol.

The Microgaming online slot is titled Scrooge. All the characters from the novel are depicted as symbols on the reels. The Scrooge Logo is the wild symbol and the Door Knocker is the scatter symbol.
