Santa Spins (Red Tiger) Review
The dilemma when making each year’s contribution to the seasonal Xmas slot genre, is whether or not to pour your heart and soul into something that will most likely only be played for a couple of weeks, at best. Many developers churn out a reskin and call it a day, but Red Tiger has at least made an original game. Santa Spins is hardly innovative in any way, but it was fairly enjoyable anyhow.
The visual presentation doesn’t come across as too “commercial” and superficial, like is the case in so many Xmas installments, and the game pace is pleasantly easygoing and relaxing. Santa dumps down on the first reel on a regular basis, fully stacked, and turns house symbols wild, and he remains there throughout the bonus round. The 995x potential will not attract serious gamblers, but this one might just lift your Xmas spirit a few notches.

The premium symbols pay between 5 and 40 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and Wild symbols pay the same as the top-tier female with a Santa hat. Wilds also step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and the Santa Wild comes fully stacked on the first reel.

Whenever the fully stacked Santa Wild slams down on the first reel, he will throw presents at any house symbol in view on reels 2 to 5. The house symbols have no value of their own, but they turn wild when the Santa Wild is present on reel 1.
This, naturally, increases your win chances, but there is no guarantee.The Xmas Spins bonus round triggers when you land at least 3 scatters anywhere on the same base game spin, and 3 in view awards 10 free spins. The fully stacked Santa Wild is locked on reel 1 from the get-go, and this means that all house symbols that appear become wild each time. You also get +1 extra spin for any new scatter symbols you land during the feature.
The 200 Spins Santa Spins Slot Experience
You get to see a stacked Santa Wild transformation win in the base game, before we trigger the bonus round with 3 scatters close to the 1-minute mark. The feature plays out for the remainder of the 3:17-minute highlights video, and you can see how much of a ‘merry Xmas’ we managed to squeeze out of it by hitting the play button below.
Review Summary
We don’t think Red Tiger was shooting for the Christmas Slot of the Year with this release, but Santa Spins provides decent and simple entertainment for the Holidays season. The bright and colorful visuals do their best to get you into that warm and fuzzy Xmas spirit, and you get the predictable, yet enjoyable, “ho, ho, ho’s” from the stacked Santa Wild.
The wild transformation feature can land you up to 800x your stake in the base game, at least in theory, although this is also possible even without any wilds.
This is close to the game’s moderate 995x potential, which can only be achieved in the bonus round. You get more wild transformations there usually, but no matter how much we wished for it, they never became sticky.Pros
- Stacked Santa Wild transformations
- FS w/ sticky Stacked Santa Wild
- Win up to 995x your stake
Cons
- Top-tier RTP of 95.73 % (RTP ranges)
If you appreciate Santa Spins Slot you should also try:
Saint Nicked - is an hilarious ‘bad Santa’ installment from Lucksome, and you get to join a tattooed badass santa and his favorite reindeer on a bender that lands them in jail. You get Advent Calendar picks by filling the bar meter, and this gives you cash prizes and free spins. Complete the calendar to get the bonus round each time, and win up to 5,000x your stake.
Santa vs Rudolf - is another highly funny Xmas release, and this one has become a NetEnt cult slot. Rudolf has fallen out of favor with Santa, and the two duke it out as walking wilds on the reels. When they clash the bonus round is triggered, where they both have a modifier meter you can fill.
Jingle Bells Power Reel - is an earlier Xmas release from Red Tiger, and it’s basically an upgraded and beefed up version of their 2015 contribution. It plays out on a 8x6 grid with 40 win ways, and you get 4 different Santa modifiers in the main game. These trigger more often in the bonus round, for payouts up to 6,544x your stake.
