Take Santa's Shop Slots

Take Santa's Shop… it's a strange title that confirms the theme and yet leaves us wondering what it means. Are we in for an alternative Christmas slot game here?

We've gathered all the facts about the game, so you can begin playing with confidence. You'll soon know exactly what lies in store for you when you check it out.

Developer information for Take Santa's Shop

You can sit back and get ready for some promising action from this game, purely because it was created by Betsoft.

Does that assure us there is a demo included?

Yes, Betsoft never lets us down in that respect.

A truly festive theme

Christmas is the theme here, of course, but there may still be a few surprises shoehorned into this one.

Festive design elements everywhere you look

You'll soon notice the slot has standard low-paying icons involved… except they all look like wreaths with lights on them, so they look cool. You've also got gingerbread men, bells, candy canes, and rocking horses, to name just a few other possibilities.

What should you expect to see in Take Santa's Shop?

The game has five reels and four icons per reel involved. A festive robber (yes, really!) is the wild, but this connects to a feature we'll come to later in our review. Wilds substitute for everything apart from the robbers and the Santa's sleigh symbol. The sleigh is a bonus and behaves as a scatter symbol.

There aren't any progressive jackpots involved in Take Santa's Shop, so you'll need to focus on the prizes displayed in the paytable in this game.

How many paylines are there?

You get 75 of them in this game.

How much can you bet on the game?

You must cover all the lines, which means there are fixed bets you can scroll through at the bottom of the screen. When we loaded the game, the default amount came up as a dollar, but you can raise or lower that.

The outer ends of the betting range are 20 cents and $20, which should keep most players happy.

Paytable information

The paytable is well worth reading before you begin. You'll be able to read more about the game, how the various features work, and what you might expect from the way things play out.

That said, a few practice spins of the demo game soon ensure things make sense once you get the hang of how it all works.

Look out for some bonus Ornament Bombs

Is this really festive, we wonder? Well… whenever a wild robber shows up on the reels, it stays where it is. The game plays out in sets of 10 games, as shown by the ornament in the bottom corner of your screen. This ticks down from 10.

When it hits 0, the wilds held in play for the last 10 spins all explode. It means you could net several prizes on that important spin. The wilds then disappear, and the process begins again for the next 10 spins.

Free spins from Santa's sleigh

Remember the bonus sleigh we mentioned earlier? Find three of those anywhere on the reels and you'll earn 15 free games. The ornament bomb icon pauses on the number shown while the games take place.

However, there is another wild feature in the free games round. You'll see five, seven, or 10 wilds scattered across the reels for each game. Whenever a new free spin occurs, the wilds move around. Once the games have finished, the ornament bomb counter resumes from the position it froze in.

Take Santa's Shop offers a solid RTP

The return to player percentage in this game is a decent 96.08%.

Our rating for Take Santa's Shop

If this reminds you a little of Take the Bank from Betsoft, you'd be correct - it works on the same 10-spin exploding wilds format. We liked it in that game, and it works just as nicely in this case too. So much so, we cannot rate it any lower than 9/10. It would have been cooler still with 3D graphics though!

What is the biggest prize like?

Betsoft has released the game alongside plenty of information about it. That info reveals that the best multiplier is 359.7x your bet.

Play the demo to get a better idea of what to expect

Bombs may not be that festive, but the exploding ornaments look good in this game. Playing some practice spins, as we mentioned before, is a smart choice with Take Santa's Shop.
