There’s no time quite like Christmas for getting into the joyful spirit of the holidays. But aside from spreading jingle and cheer, Christmas is also a solid favourite among the developers of online slots. Hence Greentube’s latest online gaming creation: Santa’s Riches.
But the game isn’t quite like every other Santa-themed title we’ve seen so far. Not only does it feature age-old images of the North Pole and Santa’s busy little helpers, but it also integrates into all of that a contemporary and modern approach to the actual design and special features showcased by the slot.
Played on 5×3 reels and 20 paylines upon first-launch, the special Real Expansion feature makes it possible to eventually expand the active game area all the way up to a max size equal to 6×5 reels and 50 paylines. This is obviously quite the feature to be factored in as far the potential for ramped-up wins is concerned.
Features have been included aplenty – with the most prominent of these being the Free Spins feature and the Arrow Trail feature. In fact, the Free Spins feature is unlocked with the help of the Arrow Trail bonus feature, which works as follows:
- 1 arrow landed – transforms the slot into 6×3 reels and 20 paylines instantly paying both ways.
- 2 arrows landed – adds to the grid an additional row, while pushing the overall setup to 6×4 reels boosted by 40 active paylines.
- 3 arrows – 6×5 reels are instantly unlocked – and now boosted by 50 active paylines.
- 4 arrows – landing 4 arrows unlocks the bonus Free Spins feature, along with 5 free games boosted by the appearance of Christmas Present symbols.
- 5 arrows – The Free Spins remain in play, only now compete with Stacked Christmas Present symbols.
- 6 arrows – this is where it all gets terribly exciting, with 6 arrows instantly bringing into giant 2×2 Mega Christmas Present symbols for maximum wins.
- 7 arrows – boosting Christmas Present symbols to become even more rewarding still by blasting onto the reels bonus symbols now measuring a gigantic 3×2 in size.
