Rudolph Awakens Slots
Most people know of Rudolph as Santa’s lead reindeer in holiday cartoons and animated shows. Rudolph was dreamed up by author Robert L. May and appeared in a short story he wrote for his job. He took his daughter’s delight with zoo reindeer and turned it into a magical short story. Rudolph’s story was distributed to millions before being published in a mass-market edition about 10 years later.
In this story, a dense fog takes over, and Santa doesn’t know how he’ll get from house to house until the magical reindeer’s nose lights up and guides the way. With this one special power, Rudolph saves the day. His legacy lives on in Rudolph Awakens slots, but he’s not the same deer you know.
Meet the New Awakened Rudolph
In this video slot, Rudolph has smartened up. He knows his value, but Santa doesn’t seem to share that feeling. Rudolph wants equal billing, and he’ll fight to get it.
The game’s paytable is made up of low-paying symbols that need three or more matching symbols on a payline. The high-paying symbols need two or more.
- 9 and 10 – 3, 15, and 100 coins
- Jack and Queen – 5, 20, and 120 coins
- King and Ace – 10, 30, and 200 coins

You’ll find Rudolph on the second, third, and fourth reels. He’s wild and offers a nudge feature so that he fills the second or fourth reel in the base game. In the free spins bonus, the nudge feature is also activated on the third reel.
Rudolph Triggers the Feature
When Rudolph fills the third reel, the bonus feature triggers. Start with 10 free spins where Rudolph is a frozen reel. He stays frozen on the reel until he thaws after a few spins.
At any time during a free spin, you might encounter an “Extra Games” symbol. If it appears on the first and fifth reel at the same time, you win three additional free spins.
A Small Bet Is All It Takes
The minimum bet to cover all 30 paylines in Rudolph Awakens is just 30 cents. At a penny per line, you never risk much, though you can go up to $1 per line if you choose. Once you place a bet, click the green spin icon and wait for the explosive action.
A peppy version of “Jingle Bells” plays as you spin the reels or pause between spins. That adds to the holiday feel, but it can also get repetitive, so click on the three bars at the bottom right and turn off the music if you’d prefer. The game also features battle sounds, Rudolph’s sinister laugh, and plenty of other amusing sound effects that add to the fun as you spin the reels.
