Payout Rules

Cluster Wins are achieved by matching 5 or more adjacent symbols, horizontally or vertically. Symbols can contribute to multiple Cluster Wins.

Cascading and Collapsing

At the start of a game, all symbols from the previous game are removed from the board and new symbols Cascade in from the top of the screen.

When Cluster Wins occur, symbols that contribute to any Cluster Win are removed, and all remaining symbols on the board Collapse downwards. Also, new symbols drop from the top of the screen to fill all available positions on the board.

Win Cap

This game has a win cap of 10,000x the current bet amount per game round.

Wild Symbols

The Santa and Golden Present Symbols are Wild Symbols that substitute for all other symbols except the Chimney Symbol and the Bonus Symbol.

Every Wild Symbol instance has a multiplier associated with it. When a Wild Symbol contributes to a Cluster Win, the multiplier from that symbol will be applied to the win. If more than one Wild Symbol contributes to the same Cluster, multipliers from each Wild Symbol instance will be added together before applying to the Cluster Win.

When the Golden Present Symbol contributes to a Cluster, the symbol will be removed after contributing to the last Winning Cluster on the reels.

Santa Symbol

The Santa Symbol is available during the Base Game and the Free Spins Feature.

The Santa Symbol has an initial multiplier value attached to it, and the possible initial multiplier values are the following: x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 and x10.

The multiplier value increases by 1 when it hops during the Santa Feature.

When a Santa Symbol contributes to a Cluster Win, the symbol will remain stuck in the same position and will remain on the screen until the Santa Feature is over.

Chimney Symbol

The Chimney Symbol is a non-paying symbol. When a Chimney Symbol is in view along with the Santa Symbol, the Santa Feature is triggered.

Santa Feature

The Santa Feature is triggered when there is a Santa Symbol in view along with a Chimney Symbol.

During the Santa Feature, the Santa Symbol will hop to the nearest Chimney Symbol, leaving a Golden Present Symbol behind on its previous position with its respective multiplier.

When there is more than one Chimney Symbol in view, the Santa Symbol will follow the Santa Feature, leaving a Golden Present Symbol behind on its previous positions.

Instant Prize Symbols

The Instant Prize Symbol is a bet multiplier.

When Instant Prize Symbols form a cluster of at least 5, a win will be paid out.

Instant Prize symbols can land with the following values: x1, x2, x5, x10, x25, x50, x100, x250, x500, x1000.

Bonus Symbol

The Bonus Symbol is a Scatter Symbol. When 3 or more Bonus Symbols land anywhere, the Free Spins Feature is triggered.

Jingle Drop Feature

The Jingle Drop Feature can be randomly triggered on a non-winning cascade or collapse.

When the Feature is triggered, between 1 to 2 Mystic Symbols will randomly be added to the grid. The Mystic Symbol size can vary from 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4. Once landed, the Mystic Symbol will disappear to reveal 1x1 symbols. The added symbols can be either Regular Paying Symbols or Instant Prize Symbols.

In addition to the Regular Paying Symbols or Instant Prize Symbols, Mystic Symbols may also reveal Bonus Symbols or a Santa Symbol.

If the Mystic Symbol overlaps the Wild Symbol, the Wild Symbol remains intact.

Free Spins Feature

When 3 or more Bonus Symbols land anywhere on the reels, the Free Spins Feature is triggered.

Landing 3 Scatter Symbols will award 6 free spins.

Landing 4 Scatter Symbols will award 9 free spins.

Landing 5 Scatter Symbols will award 12 free spins.

Once the Free Spins Feature is triggered, the Santa Symbol, Golden Present Symbols, Chimney Symbols, and Instant Prize Symbols from the Base Game will stay in the same position and carry over to the Free Spins Feature with the respective values.

If the Santa Symbol wasn’t in play when the Free Spins Feature was triggered, it will appear in a random position on the grid with an initial x2 multiplier before the first Free Spin takes place.

If the Santa Symbol with an x1 multiplier was in play when the Free Spins Feature was triggered, the multiplier value will increase to x2 before the first Free Spin takes place.

If the Santa Symbol with an x2 multiplier or higher was in play when the Free Spins Feature was triggered, the multiplier value will be kept.

During the Free Spins Feature, each empty symbol position will spin through to land on one of the following symbols:

Chimney Symbol;

Instant Prize Symbol;

Extra Spin Symbol;

Blank Symbol.

Each Instant Prize Symbol that lands will remain in its position throughout the Feature. All Instant Prize Symbol Clusters are evaluated at the end of the Feature.

The Chimney Symbol behaves the same way as in the Base Game Feature.

The Extra Spin Symbol will award an additional 1, 2, or 3 Free Spins. Once awarded, it will transform into an Instant Prize Symbol with a random value.

Blank Symbols do not stick to the grid and do not pay out any prizes.

Bubble Feature

During the Free Spins Feature, the Bubble Symbols will appear in random positions on the grid, before the first Free Spin takes place. They will stay in the same position until the next Free Spin.

Bubble Symbols are non-paying symbols.

There is a chance that the new Bubble Symbols will show up on the grid with each following Free Spin.

Every Bubble Symbol instance has a value associated with it, and the possible values are the following:

1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 500.

The Bubble Symbol will move up one grid place with each spin. It may move up either vertically or diagonally. The Bubble Symbols can land as singular symbols or symbols stacks of up to 5 Bubble symbols.

The Bubble Symbol can activate on the Golden Present Symbol, Chimney Symbol, and Instant Prize Symbol.

When the Bubble nudges up and lands on the Golden Present Symbol, it activates and adds its value to the Golden Present Symbol multiplier value.

When the Chimney Symbol lands beneath the Bubble Symbol, the Bubble Symbol will activate, leaving its value behind on the Chimney Symbol. The Santa Symbol will follow the Santa Feature hopping onto the Chimney Symbol adding the value left by the Bubble Symbol to its multiplier value.

When the Instant Prize Symbol lands beneath the Bubble Symbol, the Bubble Symbol will activate and add its value to the Instant Prize Symbol.

When the Bubble nudges up and lands on the Instant Prize Symbol, it activates and adds its value to the Instant Prize Symbol.

All of the Bubble Symbols disappear after the last Free Spin in the Free Spins Feature.
