Fat Santa review

Theme and Storyline

Players will find themselves inside the friendly world of a Christmas special with this game.

Set in the snowy North Pole, this slot is cheerful and welcoming. Players will encounter adorable snowmen, cheeky elves, and bashful reindeer. Each character has a unique personality and hits the right balance between cute and entertaining.

A softly glowing cabin welcomes players, who will feel like they are part of a classic Christmas story. The kindly Santa is hungry for Christmas pies, and players will feel pleased to see him find his treats.

The wholesome atmosphere is so cosy that players will be happy to play even when it isn’t Christmastime.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The optional music is upbeat and filled with sleigh bells. Some players may choose to keep it muted as the loop can become repetitive.

The animation style brings to mind a classic Christmas cartoon. The gently falling snow and decorated cabin seem so snug that players will linger.

The whimsical characters seem to be part of a lighthearted adventure that players will want to share. The world feels like a place where magical things happen and this makes spins feel especially enchanted.

Best of all is the animation of Santa gobbling up his pies. His friendly expression transforms as he opens his mouth as wide as possible to eat each dessert.

On Santa’s list, this game is definitely on the nice side.

Gameplay

Fat Santa is a five reel, five row slot, with fifty win lines.

The gameplay moves at a cheerful pace and the reels move satisfyingly fast.

The Buy Feature allows players to immediately activate the Free Games Feature (see below for details). This costs 80 times the player's current bet, which the player confirms prior to going forward.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Fat Santa Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols.

Meanwhile, the Christmas Pie and Wild Christmas Pie Symbol also serve as Wild symbols. They do not substitute for the Fat Santa symbol.

The Free Games Feature is triggered when a Santa symbol and a Wild Christmas Pie symbol land anywhere on the reels at the same time.

While in the Free Games Feature, players will see the Santa symbol go to the Christmas Pie symbols and eat them up. These consumed Christmas Pie symbols are added to the Christmas Pie meter. When the Christmas Pie meter is full, the Fat Santa symbol increases in size, covering more squares on the reels. The more pies, the bigger your wins as the number of winning combos increases.

At random, the Santa’s Sleigh Feature begins, flying over the reels. Santa’s sleigh leaves a trail of Christmas Pie symbols in randomized positions. These symbols then act as Wild symbols.

Conclusion

We recommend this high RTP, medium volatility Christmas-themed slot.

This game makes up for its mediocre volatility with its cute graphics, cosy setting and good RTP. This slot is an especially good match for players who are more interested in a fun gaming experience, rather than the highest wins.
