Personal testers’ opinion about Santa Paws slot
- That is an immediately exciting detail regarding the prize pool and the high likelihood of the Santa Paws online slot being in a hot mood. Despite its slightly outdated look and unfashionable sounds, this is one generous ‘veteran’ machine that is still popular nowadays in many casinos and occupies around place 2800 in the general Slot rank. Perhaps the reason for the acclaim of this slot is the tantalizing maximum win of 172 900 CAD in the Free Spins (i.e. 3458x the total bet via max stake), which is a great potential for a game with low-medium variance.
- The paytable is decent (especially when we consider the symbol values of many contemporary slots). With a hit frequency of 43% (super high), the slot supports the balance for a long time. That will say it is very suitable for completing the wagering conditions on the bonus money, also scored 6.29 (out of 10) on our index scale.
- The base game produces many spins with payouts smaller than the bet (i.e. loses), or tiny payouts (2x-3x the total bet). Only once in a while will deliver larger prizes (18x-25x). The good news is that 3 of the symbols also pay for 2OAK (which often keeps the stability). All characteristics together make this one low-risk and very enjoyable 20-liner even during the regular spins.
- Waiting for the bonus round to be initiated might seem long at times, but statistically, that happens after 133 spins (which is a reasonable term). Getting the gifts of 3 to 5 Penguins will always launch the same number of Free Spins, but they are re-trigger-able, so this is somewhat compensating their small number – 12. The mystery multiplier can truly climb up in the Free Spins and often deliver x6 and x7 rates. This is how our team obtained 129x the total bet in this mode.
- Sure, this result is not close to the maximum promised by the developer, but it is certainly not such a sordid performance for a low-risk slot without pretenses, extra trinkets, and dazzling features.
We loved this basic slot with simple gameplay and cheerful icons and will definitely be returning to check our luck here, even if it is not Christmas. We can recommend this game with real credits to beginners and to regular players on a low budget, as it proves to deliver decent wins often and provide extended playtime.
