Bad Santa Slot Review

Theme and Storyline

Have you been a good boy or a good girl this year? Santa will know in the quirky-themed Christmas slot, Bad Santa.

Endorphina has brought this game to life as Santa is caught having a quick pre-holiday drink on Christmas Eve in a cosy tavern with one of his trusted reindeers.

Although Endorphina has delved into the Christmas genre in the past with Best Xmas, the game Bad Santa should be on your wishlist!

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Bad Santa carries a soothing light rock track to keep players engaged.

While some Christmas-based slots have obnoxious music played throughout, the deft rock tones in Bad Santa encompass the game's modern side.

The graphics provided by Endorphina are sharp. In the foreground of the game, you can see a mix of symbols, such as shot glasses, pool balls, and a darts board engraved into the reels sitting on the bar.

Meanwhile, a small Christmas tree sticks out in the sitting area, while the fire is lit to give this slot a homely feel.

All in all, the soundtrack and cutting-edge graphics give Bad Santa a different, but exciting, dimension.

Gameplay

Bad Santa is played out on a 5-reel, 3-row grid, and there are 30 fixed paylines.

Players assemble wins by landing at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right.

The most valuable of the regular-paying symbols in the slot is the reindeer, while the cards printed on the shot glasses are not as sought-after.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The mischievous Santa represents the Wild in this game. He substitutes for all other symbols, except for BONUS and Token. Santa can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the main and bonus games.

Bottled tokens come in various colors (blue, yellow, and green), appearing in the base game and free spins round. When a TOKEN symbol flies off the reels, the symbol uncovered can help create winning combinations.

One of the highlights of Bad Santa is the Hold and Win Bonus Game. During the bonus game activation, the main game reels transform into a grid of 5ₓ3 positions, where a reel contains Bonus symbols and blanks reveal the following:

• Regular Prizes: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, or 30x your total bets
• MIN Jackpot: 50x total bets
• MID Jackpot: 100x total bets
• Max Jackpot: 300x total bets

The maximum win amount for Bad Santa is 1,700x your wager.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

Bad Santa holds an above-average Return to Player (RTP) figure of 96.04%. This makes it an appealing option, as players, on average, can theoretically stand to see more money returned to them in the long term.

Players can place bets from $/£/€0.30 per spin, while the maximum wager permitted is $/£/€150 per spin.

This game meets our desired slot machine strategies as it is highly volatile. With high volatility slots, players can stand to win bigger amounts, albeit they won't arrive regularly.

Conclusion

We think you should give this Christmas-themed, high volatility, high RTP (96.04%) slot a go.

Although on paper it doesn't look like a traditional slot, Endorphina has made it work with some gorgeous graphics, and the music fits in nicely.

With an array of fun bonus rounds thrown into the mix, this game should entice players of all abilities and budgets.
