Re-Spins
Re-Spins After a Wild symbol appears on the reels and all wins are awarded for that spin, each Wild shifts one place horizontally on the reels and a Re-Spin is awarded.
Free Spins
If a Santa Wild and a Rudolf Wild are in the same position on the reels, the Wilds will lock into that position and merge together. At the end of the current spin and after any potential bet line wins are awarded, Free Spins are activated.
A Santa Wild and a Rudolf Wild merging together on the reels in the main game activate 10 Free Spins. The maximum amount of Free Spins that can be activated at the same time in the main game are 30.
Rudolf Spins
The Rudolf Spins consist of 3 spins where 5 randomly placed Reindeer Wilds appear on the reels. The 5 Reindeer Wilds will appear in random positions for each spin during this Bonus feature. During the Rudolf Spins, no Wilds are on the reel set before the 5 random Reindeer Wilds appear on the reels.
Santa’s Gifts
In Santa’s Gifts there are 3 item sets where a player taps on 1 of 5 items to reveal their prize. The 5 items that a player chooses from in each set are: 3 coin wins of various amounts, 1 multiplier increase and 1 end of stage item.
When a player picks a coin win it is added to their running coin total for the Santa’s Gifts. The player can have another pick from the remaining items in the current set.
Symbols
There are two types of Wilds in this game: Rudolf Wilds and Santa Wilds, represented by a naughty-looking Rudolf and a mournful Santa.
High-Paying Symbols are depicted by festive graphics, including a sleigh, ribbon-tied gift parcels, a snow globe, and a message to Santa neatly tied.
Low-paying symbols are illustrated by the classic Royals, crafted out of sugar candy.

Casinos Welcome Bonus can be one of the best ways to get some extra value when you make a deposit.

For those new to online casino gaming, Welcome Bonuses are an excellent way to get started, with bonuses that increase your expected value so you can beat the house more often.
New customers may claim a signup bonus with no deposit needed, but there is almost always wagering attached to it. Some casinos offer free money bonuses, while others offer free spins. And sometimes there's both!
When accepting a bonus, you are actually required to meet certain wagering requirements before requesting any withdrawals. Wagering works as follows – you accept a 100% bonus and proceed to make a 100 EUR deposit, which gives you 200 EUR to play with. In this particular example, let’s pretend that the wagering requirement is 40x. This means that you will have to play for a total of 4000 EUR before the wagering is cleared (100 EUR x 40 = 4000 EUR).
To operate in an online casino, it is necessary to acquire a license. This can be done through the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) or Curacao license. Bear in mind that in order for winnings to be tax-free, a casino must be licensed within the EU. Therefore you may want to make sure that the casino has a UK or Malta master license. This is most often displayed at the very bottom of the page on casinos.

RTP, simply put, is a way to understand how much the slots give back to the players, long term. If a slot has an RTP of 98% it will pay back 98€ out of 100€. But this only evens out after millions of spins. Gameplay is heavily affected by variance: some people like high variance games due to their risk/reward playstyle, while others prefer low variance games with higher RTPs for a safe return on their money.
Low variance slots are those that tend to have many smaller payouts, but with a high chance of getting the max payout. High variance slots are those that often have very few "big" wins, but the ones they do award are enormous.
