Fat Santa Slot Theme and Background

Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way… The visuals for Fat Santa are just what you would expect.

The background is fantastic, showing Santa’s house in the North Pole all covered in snow. There is plenty of depth to the wintry scene that has been created and it really works together with the visuals and sounds to create an aesthetic that ensures that the only thing in player’s minds is Christmas!

Fat Santa Gameplay

The gameplay for Fat Santa is very similar to a previous Push Gaming release, Fat Rabbit. It utilizes a traditional video slot game with wild symbols, scatter symbols and free spins but also adds in an extra feature that can be triggered at random in order to increase engagement during the base game.

Santa’s Sleigh

During the base game, Santa’s sleigh can be randomly triggered. While there is no specific way to know when he will appear it’s always a pleasure to see Santa because he brings a gift of wild symbols to be added to the reels. This allows for extra winning lines to be created which can help to turn a losing spin into a winning one instantly.

Free Spins

There are two ways to trigger the free spins feature in Fat Santa. The first way is to buy the feature. This costs 80 times your stake and will instantly take you into the free spins mode. The second way is the more traditional way of triggering it via the in-game symbols. In Fat Santa, this means landing a Santa symbol as well as 1 or more mince pies on the reels at the same time.

When the free spins feature is triggered it will give 5 free spins to start. There will also be a 1 x 1 Santa wild symbol that will land on the reels. Every time you manage to collect 5 mince pie symbols the Santa wild will grow in size up to a maximum size of 5 x 5, which fills the reels. Each time you increase the size of Santa you will earn more free spins. If you manage to land the 5 x 5 Santa on the reels this will pay out the maximum payout of 1000 times your stake.

Fat Santa Final Verdict

The fantastic cartoon styled visuals are perfect for Fat Santa. They ensure that the theme of the game is adhered to consistently and makes the game one that pops out at you from the moment you start playing. The cartoon style is easy on the eye and while it isn’t aesthetically impressive like some other games out there it does fit the game well.

Fat Santa is a medium volatility game that sometimes feels like a high volatility game. The addition of the sleigh feature seems to be there to alleviate this feeling and engage players a little more. The free spins feature is an enjoyable one with the increasing size of Santa increasing the size of the wins at the same time, it can also be paid for to trigger instantly which is a welcome addition. Fat Santa is a game with potential but it does need a few extra features to really make it a must play game.
