Santa’s Wonderland

Santa’s Wonderland Review

Built on the existing Gems Bonanza slot, the Christmas-themed Santa’s Wonderland is a very similar affair, but more festive, as intended by the developer. It plays on a large 8×8 grid with the same mechanics, but the gems have been replaced with toys and baubles while snowflakes now appear instead of coloured markings. It looks like Pragmatic Play is on track to help you celebrate the season, but you’ll still want to read our slot review below to learn all about the bonus features.

Santa’s Wonderland Bonus Features

Thanks to the tumbling reels and Cluster Pays mechanics, you have every chance to experience at least one of the game’s festive bonus features. It could be the snowflake feature with 5 different modifiers or the multi-level progressive bonus round with increasing multipliers. Or, you could trigger both, if you’re lucky. All non-UK players are also free to use the Buy Bonus option to gain instant access to the progressive Midnight Riches game. Let’s inspect all slot features more closely.

Wilds

Wild Santa can substitute for all paying symbols, but only when you activate the Wild Santa or Lucky Santa features. You can also spot him connecting multiple winning clusters from different symbols.

Snowflake Feature

On every base spin, five multi-coloured snowflakes, also called markings by the developer, appear anywhere on the grid behind the symbols. If a winning cluster occurs over one or more of these snowflakes, 5 different modifiers will take place:

• Blue snowflake – initiates a so-called Refresh feature by clearing the grid of all the symbols except wilds for new symbols to fall into empty spaces.
• Purple snowflake – awards Wild Santa resulting in all instances of one random symbol turning into wilds.
• Yellow snowflake – awards random 2×2 blocks of the same symbols.
• Red snowflake – triggers the Supersize feature giving you random 3×3, 4×4 or 5x5x blocks of the same symbol.
• Green snowflake – starts the Lucky Santa feature, adding 5-15 wilds in random positions.

Midnight Riches Progressive Feature

When the clock strikes midnight or when you collect 140 winning symbols in the base game, the 5-level Midnight Riches Progressive feature triggers. It starts with a 3x multiplier at level 1 and activates all snowflake modifiers once per level. Collecting more winning symbols during the round will help you level up, and increase the win multiplier, like so:

• 116 winning symbols unlock level 2 with a 6x multiplier
• 120 winning symbols unlock level 3 with a 9x multiplier
• 124 winning symbols unlock level 4 with a 12x multiplier
• 132 winning symbols unlock level 4 with a 15x multiplier

Santa’s Wonderland Jackpot

We haven’t spotted any jackpots being prepared at Santa’s workshop, but he’s been busy gift-wrapping payouts of up to 7,500x your stake.

RTP and Volatility

It could be pretty slippery inside Santa’s Wonderland, so watch your step when exploring. Set to high volatility, the game pays out less on average, but at the same time, you’re given a better chance at hitting bigger wins. The theoretical RTP is set to 96.23%, but it’s variable, meaning that it can be lower at some online casinos.
