According to Relax Gaming, Santa has some unique gifts and special rewards for those deserving of them…Let’s check out what they are
Santa’s Gifts
There’s no shortage of festivities in Christmas Santa Slot. The Theme and visuals are set within a wintery forest as snow bellows down, and the game has an upbeat Christmas jingle to set the mood.
The fat man himself is above the reels with his giant sack of gifts, and the reels themselves have all the makings of a Christmas game with its festive symbols and design.
Betting and Symbols in Christmas Santa Slot
Betting options ensure that all can give Christmas Santa Slot a try! The lowest option for this game is £0.20 per, and the highest option is £100 per spin. There’s plenty in between too, so there’s definitely an option for everyone no matter your play style.
High paying symbols in the game are Elf, Snowman, Reindeer and stocking. The low paying symbols are A, K, Q, K, 10 & 9.
The Base Game and Features
Christmas Santa Slot works using a ways to win mechanic, so you’ll need 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left-most reel to form a win.
Decent base game wins are possible if you manage to connect high symbols all the way across, and the potential is further accentuated when you bring into play some of the features Christmas Santa Slot has to offer, the first of which being Christmas Gifts.
Gifts
Gift symbols may land on the reel, and they’ll be opened if they appear at the same time of any winning combination.
The 3 types of multipliers available are 2x, 3x and 5x. In a scenario where more than one gift appears, then they will multiply each other, meaning that the game has the potential to multiply your wins by a maximum of 30x.
This feature also comes into play during the Bonus round, and will multiply the collector pays features, and any instant wins via the Bonus Wheel.
Bonus Wheel
A bonus wheel may land in view during the base game. This is comprised of 15 sections that hold instant win values, and 1 that is a shortcut to the bonus.
You’re guaranteed something on the wheel, and as mentioned, Gifts may just multiply that win giving you something substantial. If you do manage to land on the Gold Section of the wheel, then you’ll enter the Collector Bonus
Collector Bonus
The Collector Bonus can be obtained via 2 ways, one of which as mentioned previously, is by landing it on the bonus wheel. The other way is to land 3 or more Santa Scatter Symbols in the Base Game. 5 Spins will be awarded.
The objective in the Collector Bonus is to collect as many Santa Symbols as you can to climb the ladder that you’ll see on your screen, along with a number of how many you need, and what monetary value these hold for getting there.
Golden Wheels may also land on one of the spaces, which will again award either an instant win, or more spins.
In the bonus, Christmas Gifts will serve the same function that they did in the Base Game where they multiply any instant wins, but they’ll also now serve a secondary function where they will multiply the values available to win on the ladder by the amount shown in the Gift.
This is where the game really starts to shine, with huge wins possible of up to 30,000x. The game doesn’t run on a ‘lives’ system unfortunately, so landing Santa on one of the spaces will only count towards getting up the ladder, and will not reset the spins.
Our Verdict
Christmas Santa Slot has loads of features to keep you entertained from Christmas Gifts to Bonus Wheels and Collector Bonuses, and all of them work in harmony to exponentially increase the potential that the game has to pay big.
Christmas Santa Slot is volatile, but the features don’t seem to be that hard to land. The Free Spins were landed on the Bonus Wheel a couple of times which was a nice surprise, but don’t come to expect it too often, and don’t be too tilted if you don’t, the alternative is an instant win after all, which is something at least.
The collector bonus is where it’s really happening, and you’ll want all of the game features to come together to multiply those wins, keep you provided with more spins and some luck in landing those Santa Symbols to climb the ladder upwards to the big wins.
Altogether, it’s a cracker of a Christmas Game, especially considering some of the half-hearted themed games you might see churned out this time of year.
Christmas Santa Slot will be available to play across most Online Casinos on the 7th of December 2020
