Slot Features
Santa is your Wild that can sub for all the symbols to help form a winning combo, and it’s a part of Wild Santa and Lucky Santa. One Wild can connect multiple others to form winning combos with different symbols.
Spin Features
On the right side of the grid, you will see a clock with special coloured markings – blue, purple, yellow, green and red. These markings will appear behind symbols at random positions and if a winning combo involves a symbol with the marking, it will trigger one of the modifiers that correspond to the colour.
Blue Snowflake wins you a Refresh that will clear the grid from all symbols except Wilds that will get locked into place and give you a clean slate. Purple Snowflake awards Wild Santa that will randomly transform all instances of the same symbol into the Wild Santa. Yellow Snowflake will award you Blocks of 2×2 symbols at random positions. Green Snowflake will award you with the Lucky Santa that is going to add between 5 and 15 Wild symbols in random positions on the grid. Red Snowflake awards a Supersize 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 symbol block in random positions.
Midnight Riches
You can buy your way into the bonus round or you can wait to fill the Midnight Riches meter up to trigger the feature. This is a progressive feature that starts, of course, with level 1, and all spin modifiers are guaranteed to be played once per level. In addition, all wins will have a starting x3 multiplier. In order to advance to level 2 that is played at x6 multiplier, you will need to collect 116 winning symbols. Level 3 is played at x9 multiplier and needs 120 collected winning symbols. Level 4 starts with 124 collected winning symbols and comes with a x12 multiplier, whereas the last level, level 5 that comes with a x15 multiplier, requires you to collect 132 winning symbols.
Summary
Santa’s Wonderland is one of those themes that are not quite original, but we still love them, and they are a never-ending inspiration for the developers. In terms of the gameplay, we can freely say that the game is cute and entertaining. It packs quite a punch with high volatility and variable RTPs of 94.49%, 95.46% and 96.23% with a max win cap of x7500 the bet, which is no joke. Help Santa prepare for this year’s Christmas, and he will repay you for the favour, gratefully.
