Delivering billions of presents on Christmas Eve every year is a logistical accomplishment of which Santa Claus should be very proud and in this online slot from Habanero Systems we get to experience part of that journey – it’s called Santa’s Village and it comes with plenty of free spins and a chance to follow our man around this village, picking up prizes.
Santa’s Village is a five reel slot with three rows and fifteen fixed paylines; seasonal music fills the air as those reels spin in front of a decorated front room complete with log fire and stockings hanging over the fireplace.
The higher vallue symbols include Father Christmas, a reindeer, a holly wreath, some stockings, shiny baubles, candles and some candy canes; J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.
The wrapped gift is wild and it will replace all other symbols to help form winning combinations.
Bonus Features
Map Feature
Every time Father Cristmas appears in a winning combo the Map Feature will be activates and this consists of a dotted trails around a village; Santa will move the number of dots there were triggering symbols and remain there. When he finally reaches a big grey dot one of the following features will be triggered at random:
- Santa Free Spins – awards twelve free spins with Santa appearing once or twice on non-adjacent reels. Santa will always expand to cover all positions on his reel.
- Sleigh Free Spins – awards twelve free spins with the chance of two-four wild symbols added on each spin.
- Sticky Respins – awards twelve free spins with winning combos locking in place and awarding two extra spins.
It’s not possible to trigger any more spins from within these features.
Verdict
Santa’s Village is high quality Chritmassy fare and it comes with a very clever way to trigger the features although it can be somewhat frustrating to watch Santa approach a grey dot and veer off at the last second; still, this is good fun and highly recommended.
