Play santa vs rudolf

How to Play

Christmas themed slots tend to come thick and fast around that special time of the year. So was the case in December 2019, as Santa vs Rudolf slot found its way into the gold rush casino site. This NetEnt game isn’t like other Christmas-themed casino slots at Gold Rush, though.

Far from being a generic bauble and wreath adorned online slots game, this one deals with an ongoing duel between Santa, and his favourite (or as the game implies, formerly favourite) reindeer. Comedy is at the heart of the game. However, affordability and value for money are also high up on this game’s list of traits.

The game is played over 5 reels and 20 lines, and costs as little as 20p a spin. Stakes can rise no higher than £100 a turn, so the game is very much affordable, which is what you would expect at that time of the year. This mobile slot also carries a non-progressive jackpot worth 500x a bet, has a decent RTP and only offers up medium volatility action. It is nothing less but a Christmas cracker.

Symbols & Special Features 

The game has two wild symbols, these appear as both the title characters and they can substitute for all icons without exception. Raging Rudolph appears on the first reel, while a stroppy Santa can spring up on the fifth. When they show up, they do so as walking wilds. Rudolph will walk towards the rightmost reel, and Santa the leftmost as re-spins are handed out. 

Should both Santa and Rudolph bump into one another on the reels, they will lock and engage in a duel. A free spin feature is then delivered, with a total of 10 free games offered to you. Up to three of each icon can merge, meaning a potential total of 30 free spins are on offer with this game. 

Free Spins & Bonus Rounds

Once the bonus begins, both Rudolph and Santa can now appear on all five of the reels. They will continue to walk across the reels as the bonus round is played out. However, if the meet in this feature, an additional four free games are added to a player’s tally. There are also two metres (one for each character) in the bonus. When one of the characters disappears from the reels, its respective meter rises. 

Filling Rudolph’s meter will hand you three free games during which random reindeer wilds can pop up across the reels. However, filling Santa’s meter will see a click and win bonus offered. Of the five items on the screen, one contains a cash prize, while the others provide increasing multipliers worth up to 4x, or nothing at all.
