Pragmatic Play, a renowned name in the iGaming sector, has unveiled their latest holiday-themed game, Santa’s Xmas Rush. This new slot game, set in a delightful 6×6 cluster-pays format, promises players a merry gaming experience with the potential to unlock massive wins up to 10,000 times their stake.
Santa’s Xmas Rush is not just any slot game; it’s a festival of features, decked with snowflakes that can adorn up to eight symbols on any spin in the base game. The magic of Christmas is brought to life when a Santa symbol appears, transforming marked positions into either respins or lucrative cash prizes, which can escalate up to 2,500x the bet value. This feature multiplies the rewards by the number of Santa icons displayed on the screen, adding a layer of excitement with every spin.
Gameplay and features:
The game operates on a tumbling wins mechanic, which could lead to consecutive wins from a single spin. Symbols in winning combinations vanish, allowing new symbols to drop and potentially create further wins. This mechanic continues until no more winning combinations can be formed.
In Santa’s Xmas Rush, landing 4 to 7 scatter symbols springs the bonus game into action, rewarding players with 10 to 22 free spins. During these rounds, snowflakes become sticky, remaining on the reels to enhance the chances of securing winning combinations. Moreover, the inclusion of two ante bets enables players to increase their likelihood of triggering these coveted free spins, by either tripling or octupling their chances based on the bet multiplier chosen.
The slot also features an array of Christmas-themed symbols, including colorful gem-style decorations and festive icons like rocking reindeer and gingerbread men, which pay out differently based on the number of matching symbols.
Design and payouts:
Santa’s Xmas Rush offers a high-volatility gaming experience, with a Return to Player (RTP) rate of 96.51%. Players can place bets ranging from 20 cents to $240 in the base game, catering to both casual players and high rollers. The game’s design is visually appealing, filled with vibrant colors and cheerful holiday graphics, making it a perfect pick for seasonal gaming sessions.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, expressed enthusiasm about the new release, stating in the company’s press release, “Santa’s Xmas Rush not only provides a wintry theme but also the excitement of wins up to 10,000x. It’s one of several festive slots we’re launching this holiday season, each designed to offer unique fun and big-win potential.”
