Pragmatic Play Brings the Ho Ho Ho with New Santa Slot

It's the time of year when online slot developers start to release their latest festive games, and Pragmatic Play have given us an early present with their Santa slot machine. Played out over 5 reels and with 20 paylines, it's full of seasonal surprises like free spins with expanding wilds, plus a jackpot round where up to 250x the total bet can be scooped.

Opening Santa's Gifts

Snow covered trees sit behind the reels and alongside the playing card symbols, this slot is filled with elves, reindeer, decorations and bells, bringing comfort and joy to players when they line up to create winning combinations. Santa himself turns up as the wild symbol to help complete even more lines, while a Christmas tree is the scatter icon, triggering a free spins bonus game when it stops in any 3 or more places at once.

An initial 6 spins are awarded, during which Santa will randomly fill a reel with each game, and if more trees appear, the bonus round can be retriggered.

Extra Pressies For Xmas

There's another gift in Santa's sack, with the present symbol unwrapping a jackpot feature which sees 12 gifts lined up on a second screen. Players click them in any order, collecting bonus prizes with each, and continue until they find any of the 4 jackpots, which range from the Mini prize to the Grand jackpot of 250x the stake.
