Features about Santa vs Rudolf slot
- Win-both-ways
- Wild symbols – Rudolf – the deer, and Santa are both the Wild symbols. In the usual spins, Wild Rudolf only appears on reel 1 and triggers Re-spins while he’s ‘walking’ from left to right until he disappears from the reels. Walking Wild Santa only appears on reel 5 and triggers Re-spins while ‘walking’ from right to left until he also vanishes from the reels. When they meet on the same reel, they unite and trigger the Free Spins bonus round.
- Free spins – When Wild Santa and Wild Rudolf meet on one reel, 10 Free Spins are launched. In theory, a maximum of 30 Free Spins could be awarded if they band together on all 3 lines simultaneously. During the Free Spins, the Wild symbols land on all 5 reels and have the same ‘walking’ function as in the regular game.
- Bonuses in Free Spins – 2 Wild Counters appear above the reels, which collect Wild symbols. Every Wild symbol that finished its run on the reels and disappeared from them ends up on the Wild meter: Santa’s and Rudolf’s each on their own side. If you collect 8 icons of 1 before the Free Spins are over, the respective Bonus round is awarded.
- Santa’s Gifts – You get three rounds of Pick and Click. In each round, there are 5 gifts to click on. 2 Coins Win, 2 Multipliers (which will multiply the total win of the coins after 3 picks), and the 3rd ‘gift’, actually stoppage you can pick is an ‘end of stage item’ (finish of the Pick and Click round).
- Rudolf Spins – 3 Free Spins with 5 Wild symbols appearing randomly during every spin. Like in the main game, all payments are paid from left to right and right to left.
