Take Santa's Shop Review Introduction 

Winter always brings some excitement for Christmas, and the slots world brings this theme into their slots often. With Take Santa’s Shop players will enter into a winter wonderland with five reels and 75 paylines. You can benefit from bonuses such as wild symbols and free spins and a maximum jackpot of 359x your total bet. 

Overall Theme 

It’s not hard to figure out that this is going to be a Christmas themed slot. It’s a bit of a different take on your traditional Christmas game, as Santa is a lot tougher than usual. You’ll find your usual festive season icons on the reels, though. Another Christmas themed game is the Fat Santa slot, which you may enjoy if you liked this offering. 

Take Santa's Shop RTP and Variance

The RTP of Take Santa’s Shop is 96.08%, which is a really good rating for an online slot. The variance has been set to medium, so it’s a good mixture of decent payouts that roll in fairly often.

Take Santa’s Shop Bonus Features 

Ornament Bomb Counter/Wild Symbols 

The Ornament Bomb Counter sits next to the reels and starts from 10, going all the way down to zero. Every time one of the holiday robbers appears on the reels, it transforms into an ornament bomb. Once the ten-second countdown is over, any bombs on the reels blow up and turn into wild symbols. Wild symbols can substitute in for all other symbols in the game to help create bigger winning combos. 

Free Spins 

The free spins bonus is triggered by three of the scatter symbols. When they land anywhere on the reels you will receive 15 free spins. During the free spins round the Ornament Bomb Counter will be paused. Because this happens, any wild bombs will land on the reels freely during the free spins. 

You can get five, seven or ten wild bomb symbols on the reels in this round. They can move around anywhere on the reels and help form more winning combinations. This means your wins in the free spins round can be really great. 

Bonus Buy 

If you want to trigger the free spins round with the scatter symbol, you can use the Bonus Buy feature. When it's purchased, based on your total bet, you will trigger the free spins round immediately. Once the round is triggered you get to choose between three bonus choices. 

You can choose to play the round with five, seven or ten wild symbols. The more bombs you choose to play with, the more expensive the buy feature will be. 

Five wild bombs costs 27x your total bet. 

Seven wild bombs costs 50x your total bet. 

Ten wild bombs costs 95x your total bet. 

Our Verdict 

Take Santa’s Shop is a new interpretation of a Christmas slot with a more gangster theme. It is very much a game that targets more casual players with lower budgets. The free spins round is great, as it gives you a guaranteed number of free spins. The wilds during the round also add to how much you can win in total. Even though the jackpot is low, the payouts become decent when you go over five coins per spin. We would suggest this game for casual players as a fun Christmas themed slot.
