Sneaky Santa and His List

The scatter wild is Santa’s List. It acts as a regular wild symbol and substitutes for regular symbols on a payline. Additionally as a scatter you trigger the free games round when you land 3 or more of them. 12 free games are the award. The round includes a morphing or transitioning symbol that expands to cover the entire real. The expanding symbol with only morph if there are enough symbols to increase a win.

12 free spins is the reward for 3 or more list symbols.

Free Game Start

At the start of the free games round you are make a choice of the morphing symbol for the round. You are presented with a list of symbols and you may choose which symbol you prefer as the morphing symbol for the free spin round.

Regular Buy Feature

The regular buy feature allows you to buy the free spin trigger. The cost amount is clearly defined and adjusts based on the base spin amount for the round.

Bonus Bet Buy In

You can decide to use the Bonus Bet buyin feature any time after a regular spin. Be aware that this purchase will raise the per spin amount by 10X. If you are spinning at $1.00 per spin, this would then reflect a $10.00 per spin amount. Bonus bet rounds play in the same manner os free spins rounds and you will have a morphing symbol for each spin.

Bonus bet rounds pay out at the base bet and do not reflect the 10X amount. The feature remains active until you deactivate it so use wisely.

Sneaky Santa Range of Bets Per Spin

You can play this slot for as little as $0.25 per spin. Or you can ply max bet spins of $25.00 per spin. For most players that is a variety of range that will please almost all budgets.

Currently an Unconfirmed RTP

We can not confirm the rtp of the game as it is just not known at this point. Some sources have listed the rtp at 95% and a few have it listed at 96.35%. This leads us to believe it is 95% or above.

Once we can confirm the rtp we will update this review.

Conclusion and Wrap Up of Sneaky Santa Slot Review

This game can be a lot of fun and really add some extra Christmas cheer to your holidays if playing it during the gifting season. Although we enjoyed playing this game and will likely return to play it again, but see our bonus bet caution.

We found that although players may want to occasionally make the bonus bet purchase caution should be exercised. Raising the per spin bet by 10 and yet paying at only the base bet amount just is not that good of a deal in many cases. In our tests this never once paid us back the extra amounts of cost in a number of different base bet amounts. The regular buy feature however did pay off for us one time but not another. That feature allows you to purchase a free spin round with morphing symbols. Caution is once again suggested as it might pay off for you or it may not.

We honestly had more fun playing the regular base game and were pleasantly surprised by the free spin rounds without the extra buy-in’s. You can play this game at any RTG casino. See the one below or visit our casino review section.
