Santa’s Stack Slot: Play Free for Fun

The Santa’s Stack is an 8 row, 8 columns online slot with a cluster payout mechanic. The game was released by Relax Gaming. The game has Christmas symbols, engaging the player with free spins and respin features. The maximum win one can get in this slot is 20,000x the stake.

Theme and Symbols of Santa’s Stack

The developer has used a retro theme both with the visuals and the sounds in this game. It is set in the town center with snow falling and seagulls flying by. The sounds include noises of city traffic, jingling bells, and people’s shouts “Merry Christmas” and “Happy New Year.” The reels’ spins also resemble the sounds of video games from the 1980s.

The lower-paying icons are blue, green, and red lights. The higher-paying icons are rein deers, elves, Mrs. Claus, and Santa Claus. Santa is the highest-paying icon, bringing the player up to 10,000x his stake for filling 60 positions. If five Santa symbols appear in a cluster, the player gets 1x his stake.

The wild symbol of Santa’s Stack is represented by the red W. If it lands as a part of a winning cluster, it triggers the Secret Santa Respin feature.

Santa’s Stack Gameplay

The game’s action takes place on an 8×8 grid with the cluster pays mechanic. Winning combos are created by landing clusters of a minimum of five matching icons up to 60. Once there is a winning combination, a cascade follows. The winning icons are removed from the grid and replaced with new ones. The process continues until no winning clusters are created.

Santa’s Stack Bonuses

Once the wild combines with a winning cluster, the pay is calculated. Then, the Secret Santa Respin Feature is triggered. The winning cluster of icons with the wild one is wrapped in yellow boxes tied with red ribbon, and then the remaining icons respin. Further winning clusters wrap as presents again. This repeats until no more wins are created before revealing all mystery icons as one type of symbol for a win.

When three or more Christmas Tree bonus scatters appear on the screen, five Free Spins are triggered. Each extra bonus scatter awards one free spin. The Secret Santa feature remains active during free spins, and wilds land on each spin. The amount of guaranteed wild symbols increases by one on each free spin. If Christmas Tree bonus scatters land on the screen during this round, the player gets one of the following awards:

• Blue Christmas Tree brings one more free spin;
• Red Christmas Tree brings one win multiplier;
• Red and Blue Christmas Trees bring one free spin and one win multiplier.
