Santa’s Big Bash Megaways
Santa’s Big Bash Megaways
Santa’s Big Bash Megaways slot from Iron Dog Studios comes with the usual 117,649 Ways to Win and a traditional yuletide vibe. But, do not fret, my dear chums, there is more to this game than just fake snow and lurid tinsel.
Yes, this release comes with Stacked Reels, random wilds and re-spins – all of which sound a lot like Christmas to me.
So let’s get stuck in!
The Graphics
Fire up the game, and you will emerge in the home of Father Christmas – complete with fairy-light framed reels, a Christmas tree and quite a few empty bottles of champers. The cheeky fellow! A roaring fire finishes off the scene while the soundtrack is a jingly festive ditty.
The Game Play
Santa’s Big Bash Megaways slot has six reels and up to seven rows, plus up to 117,649 Ways to Win. You can spin from 0.20 to a maximum of 20.00 coins per go.
Your reel icons are represented by a good dollop of Christmas cheer and include; Santa imbibing some whiskey, an elf with a candle, a half-eaten gingerbread man (poor chap), another elf with a pint of beer, and some kind of nefarious sprite in a purple outfit.
The lower paying symbols are the taking 10, J, Q, K & A from the playing card deck all done up with fairy lights!
The Wild icons in Santa’s Big Bash Megaways are the red and gold Christmas presents and will hit reels 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 only.
Santa’s Big Bash Megaways Slot Bonuses
Magic Baubles Scatters
The red and purple baubles will land on the reels after a winning cascade, activating up to 3x Baubles on the Christmas tree trail on the right of the reels. Get to the top and it’s Free Spins time…
Rudie the Reindeer Feature
At random, this tipsy red-nosed chap will stumble onto the reels to award you one of the following modifiers:
- 4x extra Wilds
- Up to three positions on the Christmas tree trail
- A re-spin
I say! I’ll have what he’s having!
Free Spins
Light up 8x or baubles on the Christmas tree and you will set off this feature. There are thirteen positions in total, and the number of spins and multiplier you will get depends on how many baubles you landed to begin with:
8 Baubles = 8 Free Spins
9 Baubles = 9 Free Spins
10 Baubles = 10 Free Spins and a 2x Multiplier
11 Baubles = 11 Free Spins and a 2x Multiplier
12 Baubles = 12 Free Spins and a 3x Multiplier
13 Baubles = 12 Free Spins and a 3x Multiplier
Scoop more spins as you play, by hitting four or more cascades in a row. Or thanks to Rudie, whose feature will trigger more often in this bonus.
Plus, if you land Seven rows on any spin, they’ll become sticky for the rest of the spins, giving you the maximum Win Ways to play with.
Finally, every new cascade will increase the win multiplier by x1 and there is no upper limit.
Buy Feature
If you tire of waiting for the Free Spins to trigger, you can buy your way into the round. It will cost you from 70 to 250 times your bet for a range of spin and multiplier combinations.
This feature is not available in all countries, including the UK.
The Monkey Verdict
With some interesting bonuses and the standard Megaways magic, Santa’s Big Bash Megaways slot is a great game, even if you’re not a fan of Christmas.
All in all, another winner from Iron Dog Studios.
