Santa’s Great Gifts Features

There is a ‘Tumble Feature‘ that occurs after every spin, all winning symbols will disappear and other symbols will fall to the bottom of the reel set. Tumbles will continue until no more wins occur on the spin. When tumbling stops the values of Multiplier Symbols on the reel set are added together and the total win is multiplied by this value.

During spins there is a Progressive Feature which begins at level 1. Each time a multiplier symbol hits, it is collected in a meter.Landing 3 or more scatter symbols during a Free Spin will trigger 5 additional Free Spins. You can purchase this Free Spins feature, 100x, 200x, 400x or 500x. For starting levels at Level 1, level 2, Level 3 and Level 4. The round levels up at certain thresholds. The levels are;
