Santa’s Big Bash Megaways Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Every slot mechanic gets a full repertoire of themes thrown at it, and in all honesty Megaways™ has already seen its fair share of Christmas titles, with notable mentions going to Christmas Carol Megaways™ from Pragmatic Play. In fact Iron Dog Studio have already released their very own game Christmas Megaways™, and have decided to treat us to more festive cheer with the release of Santa’s Big Bash Megaways slot game. Players will find themselves transported into a living room that’s full of xmas spirit as the game loads up, with lots of decorations on display and an open fire in view. An xmas movie style soundtrack is also found accompanying the gameplay.
Taking a glance at the paytable we see the royal symbols 10, J, Q, K, and Ace making up the lower pays. Premium paying symbols are the Elf, Gingerbread man, Scrooge, Jack frost, and Santa, where a 6 of a kind win will pay 4x, 4x, 10x, 15x, and 50x respectively. The Wild Symbol within the game is a Christmas present, and will substitute for all game symbols except the baubles.
Joining in on some real money play on Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™ will cost players from just €0.20 a spin, with the maximum stake on the game reaching €50. Those who are playing from a jurisdiction where it is still possible to purchase a bonus on a slot are presented with a number of options for gaining instant access to the free spins feature. These range from 70x bet, up to 210x bet, with a combo of spins and multipliers on offer. Last up we have the Return to Player Percentage, with a very respectable and decent RTP of 96% being attached to the game.
Base Game & Modifiers
Players take up the action on Santa’s Big Bash Megaways online slot across a 6×7 reel set, where up to 117,649 paylines can be generated courtesy of Big Time Gaming’s Megaways™ gaming engine. There are a number of other exciting in-game features and modifiers present within this title, so let’s look in more detail at exactly what these are.
Cascading Reels Feature
The ever popular cascading reels engine is present in Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™, and you’ll see this kick into action when a winning combo of symbols has been formed across the reels. To begin with the symbols involved in that win will be removed from the reels and new symbols will then drop down to replace them, which will create further possibilities for additional wins. Keep a look out for the bauble symbols appearing in the reel cascades, these can help you to light up the tree and trigger the free spins bonus.
Rudolph The Reindeer Modifiers
Randomly on any spin in the base game Rudolph may award one of the following:
- Up to 4 additional wilds on a reel cascade
- Up to a x5 multiplier on winnings
- Add up to 3 positions on the xmas tree
- Single respin without losing your progress on the xmas tree
Santa’s Big Bash Megaways Slot Free Spin Feature
To trigger the free spins feature on Santa’s Big Bash Megaways, you will need to reach a minimum of the 8th bauble on the xmas tree. Climbing the tree can be achieved through reel cascades, with each reel tumble moving you up 1 position. This in turn can produce the bauble symbols, which as I mentioned earlier will also help you move up the tree, with each bauble that appears increasing your position by +1. Reaching the top of the tree will award an impressive feature entry of 12 free spins and a x3 starting win multiplier.
As the feature begins you are hoping to land as many wins as possible, with each reel cascade that is achieved incrementing your win multiplier by x1. It is also possible to lock in a reel if 7 symbols appear upon it. This will not only increase your multiplier instantly by x1, but it will also guarantee that each remaining spin delivers 7 symbols upon that reel.
Rudolph can appear during the free spins feature to deliver one of the following modifiers:
- Up to 4 additional wilds on reel tumbles
- Add up to x3 onto the win multiplier
- Award up to 4 extra free spins
Finally we have the re-trigger that can be activated during the bonus. Hit 4 consecutive reel cascades and 2 free spins will be awarded, with each additional cascade thereafter adding 1 extra spin, with a maximum of 4 spins being up for grabs.
Santa’s Big Bash Megaways Slot Final Thoughts
You can’t beat that festive feeling, and Iron Dog have given us something to smile about with their creation of Santa’s Big Bash Megaways™. Whilst most of the features have been done in previous Iron Dog Studio titles, it is still a decent concept and a fun game to play. Try and the demo and see if this makes it into your all time favourite Christmas slots.
