Santa's Big Bash Megaways

As one could easily conclude from the slot’s title, Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™ is all about Christmas, that generous time of the year when we show gratitude and enjoy spending time with loved ones. For good behavior during the year we are about to say goodbye to, presents are in order - and the main delivery man is Santa. In this game, we don’t see Santa in a conventional way. Instead, he seems to be a bit tipsy and loose. Well, he deserves it for working so hard to make good people happy!

We can only assume how a party in Santa’s workshop after distributing all the presents looks like, but it has to be close to what we can see in Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™. The reels are set against a warm backdrop showing a fire and a decorated Christmas tree. The party host is Santa, and also the highest paying symbol, rewarding a combo with 6 identical icons with a payout worth 25x the stake. The attendees include Jack Frost, Scrooge, the Gingerbread Man and a jolly elf. Much lower payouts are issued by combinations of 3 or more playing card royals that complete the paytable.

The Christmas present is the Wild, substituting for all aforementioned symbols, and there are also two special symbols appearing in the game, Magic Baubles and Rudolph the Reindeer, but more about those two shortly. The top payout for Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™ is set at 25,000x the bet.

If you remember Christmas Megaways™, then you probably know this is not the first time Iron Dog releases a festive slot, and if you want to stack up on them around Xmas, make sure to also check out Christmas Carol Megaways™ by Pragmatic Play.

Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™ comes with an RTP of 96.04% in the base game, but there is also a possibility of increasing the percentage if you activate the Bonus Buy option. Already the value is satisfactory, being above the industry average, but you can max out the payout rate up to 96.23%. The volatility that goes with this return rate is high, so make sure you are prepared for a session of moderately frequent wins.

Upon launching the game, you will encounter 6 reels, holding from 2 to 7 symbols. Feel free to open Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™ on any device, since the game is mobile-responsive and also available in demo mode at various Iron Dog Studio casinos online. The matrix, as it is, can produce from 64 to 117,649 ways to win, and the number of betways will vary on every spin. Wins occur when matching symbols land left to right, at least three of them.

You can choose any stake between €0.20 and €100 to start spinning. The game carries a well-balanced math model and there is a possibility of significant swings, making each spin exciting. Remember that the Wild will only appear on reels 2 through 6, not on reel 1. Another thing that helps a lot in creating more winning combos is the tumbling wins mechanic, or cascades or whatever you want to call it. The point is that any symbols making up a win are removed from the reels, leaving room for new symbols to fill the open positions, thus creating more winnings chances that can add to the evaluated payout.

Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™ offers a few special features, some random and some that require certain conditions to be met. Rudolph the Reindeer symbol will always bring something worth celebrating when it appears, both during base game or the free spins mode. For one, he can add 2-4 Wilds on cascades. He can also award a respin or fill up to 3 positions on the Christmas tree, which is important for the Free Spins round.

The way you activate the Free Spins feature is that you have to light up at least 8 Magic Baubles on the Christmas tree (the Christmas Tree Trail). Magic Baubles can appear in the base game, but only during tumbles, and then they activate on the tree.

So, once you have managed to launch the Free Spins round you will receive free spins. With 8 Magic Baubles, you get 8 freebies. With 13 tree decorations activated, you will get 12 free spins with a starting x3 multiplier. The feature is packed with further surprises, such as the Global Win Multiplier, reels that lock, additional free spins unlocked thanks to tumbles and so on.

Free Spins can simply be bought if you do not want to go through the effort of collecting and activating the Magic Baubles on the Christmas Tree Trail. Pick one of the Free Spins options available and pay between 70x and 250x the bet for the feature to start right away.

Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™ is a great seasonal slot from Iron Dog Studio. Its longevity is, therefore, questionable, but for the moment it seems like a good choice to stick with over the holidays. The stake range can accommodate both regular gamblers and high rollers and the bonus features included guarantee a thrilling time at Santa’s yearly party. Overall, it is a nice blend of the traditional values and unexpected twists, with an attractive win potential worth 25,000x the bet.
