Take Santa's Shop Slots

No one wants to unwrap something disappointing at Christmas. However, we doubt you'll feel disappointed when you check out the Take Santa's Shop slot game. If you haven't yet come across this one, don't worry. We've played it already and we know exactly what to expect. And we are going to share it all with you right here.

Who came up with this game?

As you play this one, you might recall another game with a similar title called Take the Bank. It turns out that Take Santa's Shop is from the same developer - Betsoft.

You can try a demo before the real thing

Betsoft always makes sure people can experiment with its games before committing any real wagers to play them. That's why you'll get the chance to do the same here.

They've gone for a Christmas theme

You guessed that already as Santa features in the title, although he doesn't appear in the game itself. Too busy with his plans for Christmas Eve, we guess!

Top scoring for a fantastic design

This isn't a 3D game, as you might have expected, but it is a cool title and one we think you'll appreciate. There are lots of festive symbols everywhere you look, such as gingerbread men and candy canes.

How to play: The features in Take Santa's Shop

You'll play on a 5 x 4 matrix in this game. A festively dressed robber complete with Santa hat is a wild symbol. Meanwhile, Santa has left his sleigh behind and this acts as a scatter. The wild won't replace this.

You won't find any progressive prizes up for grabs in this game. However, the paytable has a pleasing mix of regular prizes available.

Playing with fixed paylines

All lines are fixed, so all must be played by you - and there are 75 in action.

Bets to choose from

Even though there are 75 lines to play on, the game only uses a 20x multiplier on your selected coin. This means you can choose a penny to play with and cover all the lines for just 20 cents. The biggest wager is $20.

Don't miss the paytable

This tells you all you need to know about the game. We're covering everything here, of course, but it's good to see what the individual symbols look like before you start.

Is there a bonus feature in Take Santa's Shop?

Yes, and it involves ornament bombs. In the bottom right corner of the game, a festive bauble with a fuse ticks down with each successive spin. It starts from 10.

Whenever you find wilds on the reels, a small version of the ticking ornament hovers in the corner of the relevant area on the reels. Those remain where they are, ticking down however many spins are left until 0 is reached.

The wild bombs on the reels when this happens will explode, leaving wilds in their wake. You then receive any prizes garnered as a result of that and the game begins again with a fresh countdown from 10.

Free spins are available too

You can trigger these with three sleigh icons anywhere in view on the same spin. Fifteen games are granted, with the ornament bomb feature temporarily paused during those games.

Don't be disappointed with that though, because there is a different wild element involved here. Before the games begin, you are given five, seven, or 10 wilds. These are put in random positions on the reels. Every time a fresh spin begins, the wilds all move.

We got five wilds, so it was the smallest amount, and we still got lots of prizes during those free games.

RTP information for this slot

Take Santa's Shop earns a return to player percentage maxing out at 96.08%.

How much do we like Take Santa's Shop slots?

We love Christmassy slot games, and this one offers something a bit different. If you are keen to play something festive, try this one. It earns 9/10 from us thanks to those wild elements.

How much is the best prize worth?

If you reach the free spins and get 10 wilds on each one, you could net some seriously good prizes throughout. However, Betsoft tells us that the best outcome is 359.7x your wager.

Demo play is the best introduction

It can take a few spins to understand how the ornament bomb works. It's good to unlock the free games in demo mode too, so you can see how those might play out. You can do both at no risk by testing the demo first.
