Sneaky Santa Slots
We’re fans of video slots where it’s clear the game developer spent time working on the design and animations. Watching Santa tiptoe across the reels set the stage for a game we’d quickly grow fond of. In Sneaky Santa slots, payouts are generous and the bonus feature is even more rewarding. Plus, you can pay the buy-in and win free spins at any time. Learn more about this in our game review.
Check Out Santa’s Paytable
Before you can win a prize, you need to choose your wager. Bets are on all 25 paylines and offer coin values of a penny to $1 per line. This puts the maximum bet at a reasonable $25 per spin. After setting your bet, spin the reels and get ready to win.
Once the reels stop, see if there are three or more identical symbols across one of the 25 designated paylines. If so, you won one of these prizes. The high-paying symbols are even better as only two symbols are necessary.
- 10 – 5, 15, or 100 coins
- Jack – 5, 25, or 120 coins
- Queen – 5, 40, or 130 coins
- King – 5, 50, or 150 coins
- Ace – 10, 80, or 200 coins
- Angel – 5, 30, 150, or 700 coins
- Gingerbread Man – 5, 40, 300, or 800 coins
- Elf – 5, 50, 500, or 1,500 coins
- Nutcracker – 10, 100, 800, or 2,000 coins
- Santa’s List – 1, 10, or 50 times your total bet
Morphing Symbols Pair With the Free Spins
In the bonus game, you choose one symbol to become the free spins’ Morphing Symbol. Start with a dozen free spins and every occurrence of the Morphing Symbol expands vertically to cover a reel. If three additional scatters appear, win another 12 free spins.
The Buy Feature allows you to use a 100x buy-in to automatically trigger the free spins bonus. Alternatively, increase your bet by 10x by turning on Bonus Bet. This triggers the Morphing Symbol feature in the base game, too.
Winnings Impress Us
We love to get hands-on and fully test a game. Choosing a total bet of $1 per spin, we tested out Sneaky Santa. More winning spins occurred than losing ones. After just 10 spins, 80% resulted in a prize. It’s hard to find games where the hit rate is higher than average.
We tried again by paying $100 to trigger the bonus round. On just the third spin, we retriggered the free spins with another trio of scatters. While we feel the Bonus Bet option is more appealing than paying for free spins, both proved lucrative. The Christmas slot impressed us, and we’re certain you’ll love it just as much.
