Fat Santa

Fat Santa Review

Fat Santa slot follows in the footsteps of a previous success, and it was launched across all casinos 21st of November 2018. The setup and features are pretty much the same, but there are some differences between the two games aside from the obvious theme difference.

Fat Santa comes with a christmas theme, and Santa himself will fly across the reels to hand out christmas pie wilds at random times. The game comes with 5 reels, 5 rows and 50 ways to win, and in the free spins feature Santa will eat wild pies until he potentially grows into a 5x5 wild symbol that will cover the whole screen.

The RTP of 96.45% is identical to its predecessor, but Fat Santa slot comes with lower volatility. The House edge is thus 3.55%, and on Fat Santa it will be easier to keep yourself afloat with decent wins ever so often. The potential on Fat Santa is a massive 6,405x your stake, but the maximum possible payout is actually lower than on its predecessor due to the lower max bet allowed here.

What symbols are there?

Fat Santa comes with 5 higher value symbols that are bound to fill you with christmas spirit, and even the low value card suit symbols have been made to look like christmas decoration. Anyway, you’ll need to land between 3 and 5 matching symbols on a payline to win:

• Santa - Pays 20x for 5 on a payline
• Santa helper - Pays 20x for 5 on a payline
• Rudolf Reindeer - Pays 16x for 5 on a payline
• Snowman - Pays 10x for 5 on a payline
• Present - Pays 6x for 5 on a payline
• Christmas Decoration Card Suit symbols - Low value symbols that pay 2x and 1.6x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

At any given time when you spin the reels in the base game, Santa himself might fly across the screen in his reindeer wagon and throw a random amount of wilds onto the reels in the form of Cherry Pies. This happens quite often actually, but it does not usually result in very impressive payouts. Either way, it’s a nice little random feature that keeps the base game interesting.

Free spins in Fat Santa

Fat Santa slot comes with a free spins feature that you can actually pay for if you don’t feel like waiting to trigger it “organically”. This is a trend that went mainstream, and Fat Santa is actually the first slot where you can buy the free spins. It will cost you 80x your stake, however.

To activate the free spins feature the natural way, you’ll need to land 1 Santa Wild symbol together with at least 1 Cherry Pie Wild symbol. This will start you off with 5 free spins, and the goal in this feature is for Santa to eat as many pies as he can get his chubby fingers on.

For every 5 wild pies eaten, the Santa Wild symbol will grow ever more fat. He starts out as a regular 1x1 symbol, but he can eat and grow into a massive 5x5 symbol that covers the whole screen. Every time Fat Santa grows bigger, you’ll also get more free spins.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

You cannot win any progressive or fixed jackpot on Fat Santa, but you can certainly take home some very solid payouts from this slot anyway. The max win is a whopping 6,405 times your stake, and this is very impressive given the fact that this is a medium variance game. Play with the highest stakes of £25, and you can win as much as £160,125 here.

SlotCatalog verdict

As is obvious even from the title, Fat Santa does not in any way try to hide the fact that it’s basically dressed up in a new skin. The big difference is the lower max bet combined with a lower volatility, which is a bit of a strange combination. Even though the potential is a lot higher on Fat Santa, the lower max bet makes the actual max payout significantly lower. Therefore, if you don’t feel like gambling too high, Fat Santa would be the best choice.
