Santastic Slots
It's that time again… a time of decorations, festivities, and food. And that all sounds fantastic to us. So, could the Santastic slot game be fantastic as well? That was the question in our minds when we set about playing it to enable us to write this slot review. Now, if you are going to play it too, hang fire for a second and read this review first to find out what makes this slot game tick.
Who came up with this awesome title?
The game is one of many created by Realtime Gaming.
Demo action available as always
If you've played lots of other games from RTG, you'll know this one follows their pattern of offering a practice version too.
The title reveals the theme
Santastic is certainly fantastic, but since Santa forms part of that word, you can guess the Christmas theme in action here.
Expect an entertaining and thoroughly festive design
There's snow in the background along with cabins and fir trees. You'll find Santa, elves, teddy bears, stockings packed with gifts, and lots more festive treats on the reels as well, so it looks amazing.
Let's get ready to spin the reels of the Santastic slot game
There is one progressive in this game, and you will find a 3 x 3 formatted slot game to play. Despite the smaller reel set, there is still plenty to look out for here.
There are two wilds here, labeled as DOUBLE and TRIPLE, featuring two or three stockings hanging on a fireplace. The double stocking gives a 2x multiplier, while the triple stocking icon features a 3x multiplier. They appear on reels two and three, and if you land a prize featuring both, they give a 6x multiplier together.
The only symbol those wilds won't sub for is the jackpot symbol, which appears as that logo. Find three of those jackpot icons on a paid line and the progressive is yours.
There are more paylines than we expected here
The format allows for five lines to come into play, and while you can choose how many to cover, we suggest making sure you cover the lot if you can.
What's the betting like?
The minimum bet here is 10 cents per line, giving you a 50-cent bet to play all of them. The largest bet per line is one dollar, so that would produce a total bet of $5.
Everything on one page for the paytable
This makes it easier to scroll through all the prize amounts, the rules, and the features in the game.
Bonus features in Santastic slots
Firstly, if you land the jackpot logo in the middle of the second reel, you get another spin to see if you can hit the big prize. If this should occur, you'll only see other positions play as gray symbols or jackpot symbols.
Unlock the Festive Feast for a chance of some free spins
If you manage to score a three of a kind prize anywhere on the reels, this feature begins. There are two meters in the game, one on either side of the reels. You can get a 2,500x bet prize, a jackpot spin, three jackpot spins, or some free games. In the case of free games, you can score three, 10, or 25 of those. There is also a chance you may not receive any bonus in which case you'd return to the next base game spin. If you get some free games, the background changes while you play them. Furthermore, the bonus meters change too, offering the chance to get some more free spins to add to the ones that are remaining.
The game does not reveal an RTP value
This is usual for a game from this developer, but the casino you play at may have further information.
Our rating for the Santastic slot game
If you are going to try this one, you will see that it offers a lot more than the usual three-reel Christmas slot game. The bonus meter is great, although there is a chance you may not receive a bonus from it. We think there is enough here to warrant a score of 7/10.
The jackpot could well be the best prize available
It depends on how much it could be worth when you play, of course, but there are other great prizes in the game too.
Take some practice spins to see how you fare in Santastic slots
The game has plenty to offer, as you can see, and you might end up with a better idea of whether you want to play for real too.
Play Santastic for real at participating casinos
If you're ready for some festive slot game action, this could be the best slot to begin with. Make sure you're ready for a 50-cent minimum for covering all those lines though.
Can you find this one at mobile casinos?
If you join a casino with a strong mobile presence, you should find you can play Santastic this way too.
