Santa Vs Rudolf Slot Special Features
Special Symbols
The game offers a double dose of wilds in the form of Santa and Rudolf. They will both substitute for other game symbols and offer Wild Re-Spins.
Bonus Features
Wild Re-Spins Feature
The Rudolf wild symbol can only be landed on reels 1 and will move horizontally, 1 reel to the right at the beginning of each wild re-spin. The Santa wild can only be landed on reels 5 and moves 1 reel to the left on each re-spin.
Free Spins Features
If both wild symbols meet in the same position on the reels, they will lock together in position and merge. Wins will then be calculated and paid out.
After that, the Free Spins feature will come into play and you will be awarded 10 free spins. Merging 3 Rudolf and Santa wilds will offer you up to 30 free spins.
You could also win 4 additional free spins if both wild symbols merge during a free spin.
You will also find 2 meters on the reel representing both wilds. When a Rudolf or Santa wild is landed and moves off the reels, it will fill one space on its corresponding meter.
You will have to fill 8 spaces to get the meter full and when that happens before the end of the free spins, an extra bonus feature will be triggered.
Rudolf Spin Feature
Filling the Rudolf meter will trigger the Rudolf Spin feature. Here, 3 free spins and 5 wilds will be randomly placed on the reels for each free spins.
Santa’s Gift Features
With the Santa meter filled, the Santa’s Gifts feature comes into place. 3 items sets will be offered and you will have to pick one which could be either a cash prize, a win multiplier, or end the feature. The multiplier can increase your total wins by up to 4x.
Jackpot
You won’t find any massive jackpot offers on the reels but the game makes up for it with decent game wins.
Return to Player (RTP)
This is a medium to high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.35%.
