The Santa slot game can be found at casinos offering Pragmatic Play software. Pragmatic Play are one of the newer slots game developers on the market but their products are polished and professional in feel and operation. As a standard Pragmatic Play do publish the RTP/House Edge information for their slots games within their game help file. For a provider that are not currently licensed within the UK market and therefore are under no obligation to publish these figures this is a significantly progressive move. The House Edge of Santa is 4.08%.
Ho, Ho, Ho….. and a bottle of rum? I think Santa’s dangerously close to sailing the seven seas<./p>
Santa is a 5 reel game with 20 paylines and you can bet up to 10 coins on each payline.
The ‘Santa’ symbol is Wild and only appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
There are two bonus features when playing Santa. The first bonus feature is triggered when you receive the ‘Present’ bonus symbol anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5. When this happens you will be taken to a new screen showing 12 Presents. Select the Presents one at a time to be awarded cash prizes. When you reveal one of the Jackpot symbols you win that Jackpot value, alongside your other cash prizes, and the bonus feature ends.
The second bonus feature is activated when you receive the ‘Christmas Tree’ bonus symbol anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4. When this happens you will be awarded 6 free spins. Each spin reels 2, 3 and 4 can randomly turn into stacked Santa Wild reels. Free spins are played on an alternative set of reels. Free spins cannot be retriggered.
Conclusion
While Santa is pretty enough graphically, it’s disappointingly lacking in the bonus feature department. With only a free spin and click and pick bonus feature you could easily find far more diverse and entertaining slots games for a 4% House Edge with alternative software providers. We wouldn’t describe Santa as a market leader.
