Fat Santa Slot Details
You start with EUR 5,000 (game credits). The idea is to get 3 to 5 symbols to align in one of the various pay lines in the game. The elves are the best symbols and deliver the highest payouts so watch out and pray that you get them to line up. You can set limits on the loss you are willing to incur as well as a cap on the overall win each game entails.
The slot is a 5 by 5 grid and you win prizes for combinations of 3 or more symbols aligning together. There are a variety of additional features such as bonus free games and wildcards which you might encounter. When the two wild symbols (Fat Santa and Christmas Pie) appear on the board at the same time, free games are triggered which help you increase your earnings. The Santa sleigh randomly appears and drops Christmas pies on the board.

Fat Santa Bonus Features
Features include Santa's Sleigh where Santa's sleigh randomly appears and drops Christmas Pie symbols which function as wild cards. When you have both a Santa symbol and a Pie symbol free games are triggered which will lead to a boost in your wins.
This counts as bonus games and the normal autoplay rules do not apply to these games, Once a free game is triggered, the Santa symbol eats up all the Christmas Pie symbols. You can see the number of pies consumed on the right-hand side and you will notice that the size of the Santa symbol progressively increases (this triggers more free games).
The last feature is a buying feature which helps you buy free games, however, this costs 80x your bet. While it takes time getting used to how these features work, they add an interesting element to the game once you understand them well.
Now that you know the special features that this game has you should try incorporating them in your strategy, keep in mind that free games can greatly boost your earning potential so you would want to figure out when you use the buy feature to get maximum gains (during a hot streak for example).
