Santa's Gift Rush Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction

Ho, ho, ho, this Christmas themed slot is a great way to get into the holiday spirit.

With 5x3 reels and a generous 30 paylines, this mobile-optimised slot is built for portrait mode gaming. PG Soft makes the most of the extra screen with a jolly Santa and the innovative Gift Rush feature.

Look out for the expanded train symbol on reels two, three and four to trigger one of three bonus features, with multipliers, respins and free spins on offer.

We definitely recommend you have a few practice slots of this PG Soft slot, if only to get to grips with the portrait orientation. Dedicated mobile players will love the superb graphics and animations that are built for portrait gaming.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Who doesn’t love the jolly fat man? From our excitement as small children to our grown-up love of the festive season as a time to eat, drink and be merry, Christmas is a time of celebration. PG Soft has done a great job of capturing the festive feeling.

An incredibly muscular and fit-looking Santa chuckles away at the top of the reels as elves satisfy Christmas toy orders in the workshop behind him. Christmas songs play jauntily on the soundtrack as jingle bells ring and Santa calls out encouragement or gives you a thumbs up.

The symbols are just what you would expect to see under the Christmas tree, with gifts, stockings, candy canes and yummy cookie-shaped royals. There are also Rudolph and the Santa Express, which triggers the bonus feature. The animations are sharp and smooth, and the red, green and gold colour scheme couldn’t be more festive.

If you need a bit of Christmas cheer at any time of the year, this fun and action-packed slot definitely delivers.

RTP & volatility

The combination of above-average RTP of 96.36 per cent and low volatility will have widespread appeal, particularly for casual gamers, and the wins come thick and fast.

Bonus features

Santa’s Gift Rush uses an innovative triggering mechanism to award players three different bonus games. First, you will need to get on board the Gift Rush Express when one, two or three symbols land on reels two, three and four.

This expanded symbol then triggers a spin on the Gift Rush reel that spins horizontally at the top of the reels. Three different symbols can appear, triggering three great features:

- Coin feature

This is triggered when one or more 2x, 4x or 5x symbols appear. Your win will be multiplied by this amount.

- Elf feature

This is triggered when one or more cheeky elves appear and trigger a respin, with five randomly selected symbols added to the reels for each elf.

- Free spins

These are triggered when Santa pops up on the Gift Rush reel. You will earn 10 free spins for every Santa symbol, which are played with 2x2 or 3x3 Santa wild giant symbols.

Overall review: our verdict

Santa’s Gift Rush is definitely a rush with a steady stream of wins and the inventive Gift Rush feature that turns up often enough to keep things interesting. If you think low volatility slots are not for you, Santa might change your mind.
