Fat Santa Demo by Push Gaming
Fat Santa’s free spins run on Santa’s appetite. The round opens on 5 spins and a 1×1 Santa Wild, and Santa then eats the Wild Christmas Pies that land, growing towards a 5×5 that covers the grid and earning more spins as he goes. In this Push Gaming slot, the same growth adds to how long the bonus runs and how much of the board its wild takes.
Santa smiles out of a snowy village, and the trigger is as plain as the setting. He has to land with one or more pies on the same spin before the free spins start. A spin with Santa and no pie, or pies and no Santa, stays a regular spin with wilds on it, because the bonus needs both at once.
Features and Free Play
The Sleigh Feature
Away from the bonus, the Sleigh Feature can fire at random as the reels spin. Santa flies over on his sleigh and may drop Christmas pies onto the reels, and those pies act as wilds across the 50 lines.
Santa Plus a Pie
Once Santa and a pie arrive together, the round starts with 5 free spins and Santa as a 1×1 wild. Those 5 spins are the whole of what the bonus hands over up front. A pie meter tracks how much he has eaten.
Santa’s Growth
Each time Santa eats enough to grow, he moves up a size, from 1×1 to 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, and then 5×5, and every growth awards more free spins.
Santa eats his way to more spins.
At full size, a 5×5 Santa is a wild on every position of the grid. Push Gaming’s later Fat Banker moves the growing character to a 6×6 board, where the Banker grows by collecting Money Bags.
Outside its bonus, Fat Santa is a standard 50-line game, and the free spins carry it. Random sleigh pies and a Buy Feature that skips to the round don’t change that. Push Gaming’s Fat Rabbit shares the 5×5 grid, 50 lines, and return, with a rabbit eating wild carrots and a Harvest Feature, whereas Fat Santa has Santa, pies, and the sleigh. Push puts its highest observed Fat Santa win at 3,844x, the figure it also gives Fat Rabbit, and rates the November 2018 release Mid-High, a step below Fat Rabbit’s High on the same grid and figures. Among Christmas slots, it’s a modest demo for free play with one idea, done neatly.
How to Play
RTP and Stakes
Fat Santa’s RTP is 96.45%, a long-run figure, and Push also lists a 94.15% build. Stakes start from 0.25 a spin.
Fat Santa Payouts
Wins pay on 50 paylines across the 5×5 grid, for 3 or more identical symbols on a line, beginning on reel 1. Two wilds help those lines. Santa is one, and the Christmas Pie is the other, a substitute for all symbols but Santa.
The free spins come from Santa and a pie landing together rather than from a scatter count, and a pie that lands without Santa does its work as a wild on the lines. During the round, a grown Santa is one wild spread over a square of the grid.
The 80x Buy
The Buy Feature costs 80x the bet and moves the game directly into the free spins.
