Symbols in Fat Santa

As symbols in the slot machine Fat Santa used images associated with winter holidays: Christmas tree balls with the designation of card suits, reindeer, snowman and, of course, Santa Claus.

Formally, the slot machine has a system of fixed denominations. But in fact to calculate payouts are used hidden coefficients. If you change the amount of the bet and then the denominations of symbols in the information section will also change. 

Below are the denominations for a bet of €1. Important: for other amounts they will be different.

Symbol	Value
	3	4	5
The ball of clubs	0,08	0,3	0,8
The ball of diamonds	0,08	0,3	0,8
The ball of hearts	0,1	0,4	1,0
The ball of spades	0,1	0,4	1,0
Gift	0,16	0,8	3,0
Snowman	0,2	1,0	5,0
Reindeer	0,3	1,5	8,0
Elf	0,4	2,0	10,0
Santa Claus	0,4	2,0	10,0

The image not only gives a payout, but also acts as a Wild. It can replace any symbols that are missing for the combination. If Santa has no matches of his own, when replacing, the winnings are calculated according to the denominations of the replaced images.

There are symbols in the game that do not have their own face value. The first one is a Christmas pie. It also serves as Wild and substitutes other images, except for Santa Claus. The second symbol without its own denomination is the sleigh. They start the bonus mode with free spins.

Bonus games

The game has a bonus mode, which starts if the image of Santa Claus appears on the first reel. In it, the player is given a random number of freespins. In this case, the first reel with Santa is fixed, which increases the chances of forming a winning combination.

If during the bonus mode on the second-fifth reels on the second-fifth reels will appear image of a Christmas cake, will start 5 freespins.

During the bonus mode on the screen may appear images of Christmas cake. If they fall out, they are fixed on the reels. This increases the chances of forming a successful combination with their participation.

If during the free spins on the screen at the same time appear Santa and the pie, the old man eats a treat. This fills a special scale, which depicts a growing in size Santa Claus. When it is completely filled, additional freespins will be awarded.

In total, with the help of the Santa scale you can get free spins three times. At its first filling give 3 spins, the second 2, and the third - only 1. If you managed to fill the scale 4 or more times, then for the fourth and subsequent fillings of the award will not be.

Simultaneously with the filling of the scale image of Santa expands, and then occupies several cells of the drums. This increases the chances of forming a combination.

Also in the game there is an additional bonus mode. It is launched if the animation of Santa Claus's sleigh appears on the screen. It is a series of free spins, the number of which is determined randomly. Although in theory you can get an unlimited number of spins, in practice is usually given about 10.
