New Relax Holiday Casino Game: Christmas Santa
As Santa Claus oversees the elves making the last of the toys this week for his Christmas Eve deliveries, the rest of the world waits. While waiting, Relax Gaming has a new holiday slot game this year, one that popped up at many of Australia’s top online casinos.
Christmas Santa is a product of Max Win Gaming developers. The game is a fun holiday special but one that will likely remain popular long after the season passes. Relax Gaming released the game as a part of its Silver Bullet program, wherein Relax partners with innovative gaming studios to distribute and market the games. Max Win is one of ten current Silver Bullet partners.
Details of Christmas Santa
Max Win’s developers used some modern artistic work to create a background of snow-covered hills and trees, with snow continuing to fall. And the soundtrack filled with Christmas music is festive but not too much, orchestra-driven but not too loud or repetitive.
Santa sits atop the 5×5 grid, holding a bag of toys and looking rather jolly.
This is a high-volatility game, requiring some patience but rewarding it with big win potential. The theoretical RTP (return-to-player) is 96.22%.
The game is available for mobile players and those on desktops and laptops in 31 languages.
Payouts and Potential for Christmas Santa
There are 3,125 betways in Christmas Santa, and those can come together to produce a maximum win of 30,000x.
Players can compete for as little as $0.20 per spin or as much as $100, with many options in between.
While the features are the key to the biggest wins, it is wise to watch the symbols and their payouts, too.

- Letter K = 0.8x
- Letter Q = 0.06x
- Letter J = 0.05x
- Number 10 = 0.04x

Christmas Santa Features and Gameplay
There are quite a few features in this holiday slot game.
At any time during regular gameplay, a Christmas gift box may appear with a multiplier in it. This will multiply a line win by the number in the box. These can be 2x, 3x, or 5x. If more than one gifts open in a single spin, they multiply times each other to get the total multiplier. The max available is 30x.
Also, during regular gameplay, keep your eyes on the grid for Santa symbols. This leads to the primary feature of Christmas Santa.
Three or more of the Santa faces trigger the Collector Bonus on the left of the grid. They trigger free spins, with three Santa symbols garnering five free spins. But a lot can happen during those spins.
When playing the bonus round, the goal is to keep collecting Santa symbols, which are tallied in the boxes on the left of the grid. They also become sticky and stay in place on the reels. Gifts that appear on the grid add multipliers to the mix and also become sticky symbol.
Special Bonus Wheel spins may add multipliers or additions to the value of the Santa, as well as additional free spins or extra Santas.
The ultimate goal is to keep the bonus round going and collect as many Santas as possible. This is the most potentially lucrative part of the game.
That is a quick overview of the features, which may not sound like much, but there is a lot of action in this game. One feature can pile on to another and multiply wins or keep the spins going. Santa is quite generous here, if the player displays a bit of patience, so don’t underestimate what he carries in that bag of gifts.
