Santa Strikes Back

Santa Strikes back is an ominous title for a video slot; it almost sounds like the feasible working title for Star Wars 7 but is actually a five reeled video slot from RTG games. It includes wilds, multipliers, scatters, free spins and a progressive jackpot.

Santa Strikes Back Theme

Santa may seem like he's having fun with his elves in the workshop each year but he's not. Instead he's locked in an epic battle with them, his reindeer and equipment. That's the theme used on this slot and we have to say it's refreshingly and hilariously different from other Christmas themed slots.

There's several fitting sound effects, combined with a few standard ones. The best aspect has to be the reel icons though because they're all bright, animated(some) and funny. They include Santa in three poses, Rudolph, elves, Mrs. Claus, presents (these are wrapped traditional icons).

Betting Options and More Functions

The buttons are shaped like Christmas crackers which not only looks festive but makes it jolly fun to setup bets. You can choose from a range stretching from 0.01 to $125 per game. You can play using regular or auto spins too.

Santa Strikes Back Slot Features

The sword wielding Santa is wild which allows it to count as any regular icon. This means it can sub for any icon except the scattered Santa and Rudolph icons.

There are two scatter icons; victorious Rudolph and victorious Santa which can both pay in any position and unlock bonus games. This causes them to face off in a showdown where the resulting winner awards a prize (who'd ever thought these two allies would fall out?).

Three or more victorious Santa icons will trigger the Santa's revenge feature. This awards 7 free spins with single multipliers. As the spins play you can collect candy cane icons to light stars at the top of the reels. If you collect five stars the number of free spins resets to 7 and one multiplier is added to the count. You can retrigger in this way up to 19 times in row, which is amazing when you think about it.

Rudolph's Revenge is triggered when three or more Rudolph icons appear. This awards 7 free spins where all wins are doubled. Any scatter battle will also be automatically won by Rudolph which is great because his prizes are larger than Santa's.

Our Take on Santa Strikes Back

The great thing about Santa Strikes back is that it has strands of traditional and original things all related to Christmas. You can enjoy this feature rich game at a range of casinos during any time of the year too; Christmas no longer has to come just once a year!
