Free slot: Santa's Stack

How Santa's Stack works

What a pleasure to find new slots with a Christmas theme and even more with pixel art! That's what provider Relax Gaming has in store for us with their new Santa's Stack slot, due out on November 25, 2021. Even if the slot is very simple, its potential is huge and could offer you a very nice Christmas present this year. Today Lucky7Bonus will go over the features of Santa's Stack step by step: its symbols, how to make a connection, how the free spins work and finally we will give you our general opinion on this slot.

Relax gaming is used to new original slot machines and Santa's Stack is not out of the ordinary. Releasing a slot based on pixel art in 2021 is very daring, but the bet is successful. The quality of the illustrations and the scenery is perfect, the Christmas atmosphere opens up to us with this music from the 80s. The base game is relatively simple and you won't have to rely on it to try and hit the jackpot. The free spins bring a new and interesting feature that we will discover together below in this Santa's Stack review. The game's grid consists of 8 reels and 8 rows to make room for exactly 64 symbols. The potential is huge in Santa's Stack slot, with players able to win up to 20,000 times their initial bet, as well as a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96.27%, which is about average. You can bet anywhere from 10 cents to 50 Euros at Lucky7Bonus' online casino partners. The maximum bet may not be very high compared to other slot machines, but with a €50 bet, the maximum potential is €1,000,000, a nice jackpot!

Santa's Stack Symbols

Several symbols exist on the Santa's Stack slot machine, first of all the premium symbols will bring you a lot in terms of winnings, but they are less likely to appear on the grid. You will find, for example, the Santa Claus which can pay up to x 1,000 if you get 60 of them on the 64 available slots of the game. The screen below shows the winnings for the Santa's Stack premium symbols with an initial bet of €1.

Common symbols will appear much more often on the game grid, but the payouts for these symbols will be much lower. For example, the smallest symbol will pay 75 times your bet for over 60 connected symbols.

The different connections in Santa's Stack

There are no paylines in Santa's Stack slot machine. Instead, you have to count on the number of symbols that are stuck together. With at least 5 of the same symbols adjacent to each other, you can make the first connection in any direction, whether it's up and down, left and right, etc. The winnings will vary depending on the number of symbols, from 5 symbols to over 60 symbols, the difference can be huge!

How the Santa's Stack bonus works

As you will see the Santa's Stack bonus feature will only bring one additional feature to the game. First of all, you need to get 3 scatter symbols to win the 5 free spins. By getting 1 extra scatter symbol, it will be worth 1 extra free spin. If the scatter appears during the free spins, you either win 1 extra spin or a +1 on the overall multiplier.

Once on the free spins, you have the chance to see the Wild symbol appear, in case this Wild makes a connection with several symbols, then all symbols (including the Wild) will turn into Christmas presents. An additional free spin will take place and the presents will stay in their place. They will then open to reveal the same symbol and eventually create a big connection.

As you can see, the Christmas gifts in the screen above have all turned into moose in the screen below. In addition to the gifts, moose symbols have appeared between the gifts to create an even bigger connection: big win guaranteed!

If you don't have the patience to wait to get the minimum 3 Scatters to unlock the free spins, Santa's Stack slot offers you the possibility to buy the bonus directly by spending 100 times your bet. Note that the RTP increases when you purchase the bonus, to 97%.
