Features and the main game mode
1. Wild Christmas Pie symbol
Wild replaces all other symbols and is required to trigger the bonus game.
The Wild Christmas Pie symbol has no value of its own and is equal to the symbol it replaces.
2. Stacked symbols
Symbols can land in stacks, occupying up to a whole reel.
3. Santa’s Sleigh feature
This mode is activated randomly. Santa’s sleigh rides across the reels, leaving behind Wild Christmas Pie symbols.
4. Santa symbol
It is a Wild symbol and also a top symbol.
In the main game mode, Santa can appear on the first reel. Together with the Wild Christmas Pie symbols, Santa awards the bonus game.
Bonus game mode
1. Buy Bonus
The charge for the bonus game is x80 of the bet. For example: a $1 bonus game costs $80.
2. Regular trigger
When the Santa symbol appears on the first reel and one or more Wild Christmas Pie symbols appear anywhere on the reels, the bonus game begins.
3. Number of free spins
The bonus game always starts with 5 free spins.
4. Accumulation of Christmas Pie symbols
Initially, the Santa symbol occupies 1 position.
Each time the Christmas Pie symbol appears, Santa moves towards it, eats it, and grows.
If there are no Christmas Pie symbols on the next spin, Santa remains in its place (where the last Christmas Pie was eaten) and plays as a Wild symbol.
The closer Santa is to the left side of the game screen, the more chances to win.
5. Bonus game levels
The bonus game has 5 levels that depend on Santa’s size, which, in turn, depends on the Christmas Pies eaten:
Level 1 – Start Bonus Game = 5 Free Spins
Santa occupies 1 position on the reels.
Level 2 – Santa must eat 4 Christmas Pies (the number of Christmas Pies that triggered the bonus game is also taken into account).
Santa grows and occupies 4 positions (2×2). Moving to this level will award +3 additional free spins.
Level 3 – Santa must eat 5 Christmas Pies.
Santa grows and occupies 9 positions (3 × 3). Moving to this level will award +2 additional free spins.
Level 4 – Santa must eat 5 Christmas Pies.
Santa grows and occupies 16 positions (4 × 4). Moving to this level will award +2 additional free spins.
Level 5 – Santa must eat 3 Christmas Pies.
Santa grows to its maximum size and occupies 25 positions (5 × 5), that is the entire game area!
Moving to this level will award +1 additional free spin.
If Santa has passed all the levels and grew to the maximum size, he naturally always stays in the same place and awards x1,000 of the bet for each remaining spin.
