Gifts from Santa Slot Review

How to Play

Dragon Gaming has kept the gameplay here nice and easy. The main game takes place on a 5x3 matrix with 20 paylines. This can be increased during the bonus spins round. The betting range is not particularly big, with bets ranging from €0.20 up to €10, which is not going to attract too many high rollers. 

From a design perspective, the game looks nice. The matrix is set inside a fireplace, with stockings all around the outsidve. There are also some really nice animations, and players can choose whether or not they have the sound playing. 

The slot stands out for utilizing a cascading wins mechanic. Whenever a player manages to land a winning combination, the symbols will disappear and more symbols will fall down the reels into their place. If these symbols also cause a win, then this will continue until there are no more winning combinations. 

Symbols and Payouts 

All of the winning combinations in the Gifts From Santa slot payout in coins. The value of your coin is your total stake divided by 20. The highest paying symbol is the Santa symbol. This pays 1000 coins for combos of five, 150 for four, and 25 for three. Next up is a snowman and a reindeer which pay 500 coins and 300 coins respectively for five. 

After this, there are four present symbols - blue, yellow, red, and green. All of these pay the same. 200 coins for five, 50 for four, and five for three. 

Best Gifts From Santa Bonus Feature

This slot lives up to its name by offering players a selection of useful bonus features to work with. The first Gifts From Santa bonus you are likely to notice is the titular feature. This is triggered whenever you manage to land consecutive cascading wins. Around the outside of the grid there are six stockings. For each consecutive win, Santa will appear and add a gift to the stocking, granting a bonus feature. For one, you will get a 2x multiplier, for two, the Santa symbol turns wild, three will multiply by 3, four will explode non-winning symbols, and fives add a 5x multiplier. The sixth one will help you secure an all-pays win combination using another symbol. 

As well as this, there are some Gifts From Santa bonus spins to take advantage of. These are triggered when you land three or more scatter symbols. Three will give 10, four will give you 25, and five will give you the maximum of 50. You can not retrigger the bonus spins. The game does mix things up a little though, shifting from a 5x3 matrix to a 5x4, with five additional paylines. 

RTP & Volatility

The Gifts From Santa RTP is a fairly average 96.09%. The game has been getting a medium volatility rating from Dragon Gaming. During our playthrough for this Gifts From Santa slot review, we were able to secure some fairly regular wins and found the titular bonus feature to be very rewarding.
