Fat Santa
Two special wilds on the screen activate a free spins round that can provide a real buzz at the cash register with gradually expanding wilds. The corpulent Santa Claus also has an extra clap, namely a function that provides lots of extra jokers on the screen. Not much is missing from the game. It would be a progressive jackpot if so.

About Fat Santa
Christmas is a very grateful theme for Game Developers in slots. If you want to be a little mean, the game developers really just need to put some Christmas music in the background, design symbols in the form of bells and snowmen and add some function that has a connection to Christmas. Unfortunately, many Christmas-themed slot machines are not exactly great innovations.
Fat Santa from Push Gaming has a basic theme that we have seen many times before. At the same time, the game offers a range of specialties. We definitely think that stand out fr on̊ lots of Christmas-themed games .
The center of the game screen is occupied by a square wheel on̈ 5×5 format . To the left and right of the reels you will find a picture of a winter landscape with houses richly decorated with Christmas decorations. The background is partly dynamic and, for example, large snowflakes slowly fall from the sky. The graphics overall are, as usual in games from Push Gaming, really good. Admittedly, there are certainly some players who do not appreciate the slightly naively drawn design, but the quality is sky-high.
Does Fat Santa then have any "Christmas" background music? You can be sure of that! Push Gaming has added bells and other things that give Christmas atmosphere. If you listen carefully, you can hear various classic Christmas carols in a slightly more swinging vintage.
You win every time you get at least three symbols of the same kind on a Payline. The combination must start on reel 1 and the symbols must be adjacent to each other on the payline.
Stakes and winnings
With a 5×5 reel set, it is of course possible to add a huge amount of paylines. Push Gaming has added as many as 50, which makes it quite easy to take home a win.
You always have everyone 50 paylines in play and each line costs between 0.05-5$ to play. This means that you play for between 2.50 – 250$ per spin. An auto spin feature is available to use, a quick spin feature as well.
The risk in Fat Santa is clearly above average. The game doesn't have quite the same highly volatile nature as some other titles from Push Gaming, but it can go a long way between the slightly larger wins. Of particular note is that the low win symbols pay really poorly.
The payback over time is 96.45%. It is the same figure as in Fat Rabbit and overall it can be said to be clearly reasonable. Compared to others new slots the figure is about average.
The maximum win on a single spin is 1000 g on̊ the stakes . That win will play into the free spins round if you are lucky enough to get a Santa symbol that covers just the entire screen. Most likely, on the way to that spin, you have also recorded very decent winnings.

Symbols
Fat Santa has nine regular paying icons, one of which is also wild. Santa Claus, who is indeed a rather corpulent figure, serves as the best-paying icon alongside one of his Gnomes. Santa Claus also acts as one of the game's two wild symbols.
Rudolf with the Red Mule is another symbol that brings reasonable profits. To complement this collection of more high-paying icons, Push Gaming has also stopped with a snowman.
The symbols that are to be considered as low-win symbols represent a Christmas gift or Christmas balls with suite symbols (hearts, diamonds...).
Santa Claus is not the only wild symbol on the reels. There is also a Christmas pie . It has not just one, but two, special features to offer.
Game features
The special features of Fat Santa are very much about the impressive weight of Santa Claus and the name of the game is well chosen. The main special feature is the Wild symbol in the form of Santa himself that can be enlarged in the free spins round.
Wilds
As I said, there are two̊ wild symbols p on̊ the rollers I Fat Santa. It's about Santa Claus himself and a picture of a pie. Their feature is the classic. The symbols simply function as regular replacement symbols. However, they also have the role of Free Spins-scatters.
Scatter
Some special scatter symbols are not available in barrel Santa. The question then is how the free spins round is activated? The answer is simple. You just need to get a Santa Claus symbol and a pie symbol at the same time on the screen. You don't get any direct extra advantage with more pie symbols, but you do get an indirect advantage because each pie counts against a meter (see below).
Free spins
The game developer Push Gaming always offers something special in the free spins rounds of their games. Fat Santa is no exception. Here you have inserted the same features that the ”sister Game” Fat Rabbit can boast. The game idea is extremely popular, especially among those who like higher risk, and we can therefore be indulgent about Push Gaming reusing it.
When your free spins start (five from the beginning) you will find that The Santa symbol stays on its position . You will always have a Santa symbol on the screen. What position it has, however, is determined by where the pie symbols end up.
The second thing you will discover is that the pie symbols appear more frequently. Every time you get an extra pie symbol (which also acts as wild), Santa will jump to that position and simply devour it. As a result, you will get a mark on the meter you see to the right of the reels (below the reels if you are playing on your mobile/tablet). If you manage to fill it, two things happen.
First, it comes The Santa symbol is getting bigger . You simply get more guaranteed wilds on the screen. Secondly, you get more free spins. If you are diligent in collecting pie symbols, the chances of winning will increase dramatically very quickly! Note, however, that it becomes progressively more difficult to fill the ”pie stack”. There are more pies for each level.
Purchase function
Fat Santa, like many of Big Time Gaming's slots, has a”Buy feature". What it is about is that you with one click, you can on̊ straight to the freespins round . You don't have to wait for a Santa symbol to appear along with at least one Wild Christmas Pie symbol on the screen.
The cost of going directly to the free spins round is 80 times the bet amount. For example, if you play with$ 5 per spin normally, it costs$ 400 to activate the bonus round.
Santa's Sleigh feature
Little by little, Santa Claus decides to take a ride with the sleigh over the wheels. The result of this random feature will be a bunch of pie symbols on the screen. These then act like regular wilds.
Summary
Fat Santa is a Christmas slot that offers a lot of little special features compared to other slots on the same theme. However, it should be pointed out that Fat Santa is based on exactly the same game idea as Fat Rabbit. If you like Fat Rabbit, but want a little more ”Christmas” gaming experience, Fat Santa is of course a top choice.
The craftsmanship is excellent. The game idea is exciting and having the opportunity to hit full screen with a huge Santa Claus is never wrong! Try it yourself in our review here to see what you think.
