Santa’s Stack Slot Review 2021<\/h2>\n

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and no slots were spinning. Players were sleeping soundly and silence was far and wide, when all of a sudden a voice cried out “We must play Santa’s Stack!”<\/p>\n

Join the Christmas Crew in Relax Gaming<\/a>‘s festive release Santa’s Stack, where the festivities begin on an 8×8 grid, entwined in an ‘old school’ style Winter Wonderland. For players who just love a Cluster Pays mechanic, Santa’s Stack is the gift that keeps on giving!<\/p>\n

Santa’s Stack is Relax Gaming’s first Christmas inspired slot title this year and we’re confident it won’t be the last in the years to come. Relax Gaming is a very well known and loved slots provider, bringing us certain titles such as Cluster Tumble<\/a>, Top Dawgs<\/a> and Iron Bank.<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve seen first-hand the amount of effort Relax Gaming puts in to ensure their slot games are top quality, so we can’t help but get a little excited about this one!<\/p>\n

Grab yourselves a cup of mulled wine and get into the Christmas Spirit as we jump straight into the festivities!<\/p>\n

Santa’s Stack Theme<\/h2>\n

Relax Gaming has truly done a superb job with the theme for Santa’s Stack. The 8-bit style graphics really makes it stand out, and despite the difference in theme it makes us reminisce about the smash hit that was Hellcatraz.<\/p>\n

Behind the reels, you’ll see a Christmas Square littered with snow and adorned with Christmas decorations. This town square may look empty, but the sound of cheery townspeople can be heard clearly in the background. When you start spinning the reels you’ll be greeted to the sweet sound of ‘chiptune’ music which reminds us of an old video game.<\/p>\n

If you’re more SNES than Xbox Series X, then you’ll definitely appreciate the retro theme Relax Gaming has opted for here.<\/p>\n

Realistic graphics have their place, but sometimes its great to see the glorious return of an older style. Who would have guessed that we’d still be pining for some 8 bit pixel graphics all these years later?<\/p>\n

Santa’s Stack is certainly one of the more cheery Christmas Slots we’ve seen so far. Others seem to opt for a cosier theme, with a quiet Christmas evening and the warmth of a fireplace, but we definitely prefer the more lively style seen here.<\/p>\n

Santa’s Stack Betting and Symbols<\/h2>\n

Santa’s Stack has a selection of betting options for players to choose from. For those who prefer a lower stake, the minimum bet available is \u00a30.10 per spin<\/strong>.

Santa’s Stack Base Game and Features<\/h2>\n

Santa’s Stack is an 8×8 Video Slot with a Cluster Pays mechanic.<\/strong> To form a win you will need to connect 5 or more<\/strong> of the same symbols, either Horizontally<\/strong> or Vertically<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Relax Gaming has always done Cluster Pays Slots well, and Santa’s Stack is no exception. 5 of any symbol doesn’t exactly give you anything exciting, but as the numbers start growing the pays increase exponentially, which makes for an exciting experience which puts on you on the edge of your seat.<\/p>\n

Some of the upper levels of 50+ and 60 symbols aren’t exactly attainable on any regular spin, but magic becomes possible thanks to some of the features.<\/p>\n

Secret Santa Re-Spin Feature<\/h4>\n

During the base game, the Secret Santa Re-Spin<\/strong> feature can only be triggered when a Wild<\/strong> makes up part of a winning combination.<\/p>\n

All winning clusters (including Wilds)<\/strong> will convert into hidden Mystery symbols<\/strong> and a Re-Spin will be issued.<\/p>\n

Any winning clusters that are adjacent to Mystery symbols, will also transform into Mystery symbols and an additional Re-Spin<\/strong> is awarded.<\/p>\n

If Mystery symbols are surrounding an area where a win cannot be formed, that section will then be converted into Mystery symbols.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Mystery symbols will reveal the same symbol<\/strong> at the end of the Re-Spin.<\/p>\n

The Secret Santa Re-Spin feature will end when there are no new winning clusters on the screen.<\/p>\n

Santa’s Stack Free Spins<\/h2>\n

Landing 3 or more<\/strong> Scatters anywhere on the grid, triggers 5<\/strong> Free Spins<\/a>. Each additional Scatter<\/strong> that lands during the initial trigger, awards an extra +1 Free Spin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During Free Spins, the Secret Santa<\/strong> feature is always active and Wild symbols<\/strong> are guaranteed to land at the start of each Free Spin. The number of Wilds guaranteed to land, increases by one<\/strong> each time, starting with 1 Wild<\/strong> in the first Free Spin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landing Scatter symbols during Free Spins will award one of the following prizes.<\/p>\n
