Santa

Santa from Pragmatic Play is a festive slot set in a snow-covered North Pole, where an elf, reindeer, bells and candy canes line up across five reels, three rows and 20 paylines. Santa himself is the wild, landing on reels 2 to 5, and wins can start from just two matching symbols. Volatility is medium.

There are two separate bonus routes. Three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 open a gift-picking game with 12 presents: players unwrap them one by one to reveal prizes until a jackpot symbol appears and ends the round. Three Christmas tree scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 award 6 free spins, and before the round finishes, reels 2 to 5 can become fully covered with wilds. Stakes run from €0.20 to €100, the RTP is 95.92% and the top win is €45,125, an easy pick for December promotions.

The elf is the best-paying symbol at up to 2,000 coins for five on a line, followed by the reindeer, bells and candy canes, which pay from 50 coins. The A, K, Q, J and 10 card ranks pay between 25 and 500 coins.

• Wild: Santa substitutes for everything except the bonus and scatter symbols.
• Gift bonus: three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 reveal 12 gifts to open until a jackpot symbol appears.
• Free spins: three tree scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 award 6 free spins, with reels 2 to 5 able to turn fully wild.
