Yes it is that time of year yet again upon us, where Chris Rea starts the long drive home for Christmas and as to be expected this is a fact not lost on the casino game studios, plying their wares at online casinos. Well step up Stakelogic and their entry for the festive season and the slot Santa Express.
Santa Express takes players to a winter wonderland like no other and is available to play at operators including the accredited casino Slots Magic.
Santa Express is a 5×4 reel game is set against a snowy backdrop with 20 active win lines available and a max win potential of 20,000x the player’s bet. Ho ho ho, indeed. Symbols include elves, baubles, hot chocolate and of course reindeer.
When a win occurs, all winning symbols are removed and in one of the empty positions, a Wild will appear. Once the Wild is in place, new symbols will cascade onto the reels like fresh white snow from the sky, opening up even more win opportunities.
With each consecutive win, the Wild that appears remains in place but with a Multiplier that can increase from x1 up to a maximum of x10.
For players that have been good all year, there is a chance to trigger Free Spins when three or more Scatters land on the reels. Before they play out, a random number of Free Games is awarded with 8, 10, 12 or 15 available. But that’s not all…
A random Win Multiplier is also chosen, with x2, x3, x5 and x10 up for grabs. What’s more, one random low or high paying symbol becomes the Chosen Symbol and that will pay double its pay table amount for the duration of the feature.
The Collapsing Wild feature from the base game is available during Free Spins and the bonus can be retriggered as per the below.
Three Scatters award 2x Multiplier and 5 Extra Free Spins
Four Scatters award 10x Multiplier and 8 Extra Free Spins
Five or more Scatters award 20x Multiplier and 10 Extra Free Spins
Of course, players that have been less well-behaved also have the option of buying the Free Spins bonus. Super Stake, the innovative feature that allows players to double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus triggering and big wins landing, is also available.
Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic, said: “Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year and with Santa Express players have the chance to unwrap some truly big wins. For those that have been well behaved, Free Spins and Multipliers await.”
“But we have spread the festive cheer even to those who find themselves on Santa’s naughty list, with the option to Buy the Bonus and enjoy some Free Spins regardless.”
