Santa Stacked Free Spins Review

Inspired Gaming has not made the most inspiring Christmas game this year, and this is reflected even in the dull title. What does “Stacked Free Spins” even mean, you might wonder. It has nothing to do with stacked wilds or stacked symbols, we can assure you, and it seems to refer to the fact that you can gamble to win more free spins.

However, the odds are not exactly on your side if you opt for this gamble feature, at least not if you’re going for the free spins. The cash gamble is a standard 50/50 double or nothing kind of deal, but the slim green segment you need to hit on the free spins wheel is far from encouraging. Visually, the game is unimpressive too, and players have far better options than this for the Holidays season of 2020.

Santa Stacked Free Spins Features

There are not all that many features to talk about here, as this game is really all about the free spins round. However, the wild symbol can land on the 3 middle reels in both the base game and during the bonus round. It will step in for all symbols except the bonus scatter, to help you form winning combos.

What makes the bonus round stand out is the fact that you will only land the 3 highest value symbols, along with wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4. This increases your chances for bigger wins significantly, and you get 8 free spins to start with. You trigger the free spins round by landing 3 Santa in his sled scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, or you can win it via the Gamble feature.

The Gamble feature can be turned on or off, and it’s triggered when you win at least 5x your stake. You will see 2 different bonus wheels, and the left-hand side wheel allows you to double your winnings or lose it all. You can keep doubling your winnings up to a maximum of £250,000.

The wheel on the right-hand side however, allows you to win at least 5 free spins. How many spins you can get depends on how much of your winnings you’re willing to gamble. You can win up to 30 free spins via this feature each time it is triggered.

The 200 Spins Santa Stacked Free Spins Experience

After a few initial wins, we decided to try our luck with the free spins gamble. The green segment is mighty slim compared to all the red, but what the heck. We got lucky, and actually managed to hit the green, which gave us 5 free spins with only high paying symbols and wilds. The gamble starts around 0:23 into the video.

Review Summary

Santa Stacked Free Spins is a fairly simple Christmas title, and it comes with Inspired Gaming’s Gamble for free spins feature. This is probably what the title alludes to, as there are no other stacks of wilds or symbols here. The base game is about as dull as it was to wait for the present opening session to start when you were a child.

The bonus round is what it’s all about here, and you can win up to 4,166x your stake. This is a decent enough potential for a somewhat volatile game, and the high value symbols combined with wilds on the middle reels can be effective at times. Overall, this is not a very entertaining game however, and there are far better alternatives in the Holidays season genre out there this year.

Pros

• Wilds on the 3 middle reels
• Bonus round with 3 top-tier symbols and wilds
• Gamble to double your winnings or to win free spins
• Max win potential of 4,166x your stake

Cons

• RTP of 95 % is below average

If you appreciate Santa Stacked Free Spins you should also try:

Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special - is a Christmas reskin of Quickspin’s breakthrough game. The wolf looks more scary than ever with a Santa outfit, and it’s still fun to blow down the house of the little piggies and benefit from the 97.34 % RTP.

Carol of the Elves - is another Holidays heavy hitter, as Yggdrasil has reskinned their popular Valley of the Gods. You will unblock reel positions as you win respins, and opening the whole 5x5 grid will start the progressive multiplier with no upper limit.

Rudolph Gone Wild - is a NextGen powered Christmas slot with an edgy sense of humor. Rudolph is pissed apparently, and headbutts the reel set to move walking wilds to the left. There are 2 other random wild features also, as well as a bonus round where payouts up to 5,000x can be landed.
