Slot Features
Every win you make will contribute to the meter that is visible on the left side from the grid. The more consecutive wins you get, the faster the meter will fill. Each segment on the meter triggers a different feature that is colour coded.
Santa’s Box
Blue segment is Destruction, Green is Swap Shop, Yellow is Slice and Dice, Purple is the Explosion, and final one, the last in a row is the Red one that is Santa’s Bonus. In addition, you will see Win Multipliers after each segment that will be applied to the won amount, and these can be x2, x3, x5 or x10.
Destruction will destroy all the low paying symbols from the grid by first freezing and then crushing them. Swap Shop will select 1 random low paying symbol and all its matching symbol and turn them into another symbol of the same kind. Slice & Dice will place a Wild in the centre of the grid and create 2 diagonal lines from the centre with the same random symbol. Explosion will transform up to 8 symbols into Wilds while removing adjacent symbols.
Once you fill the entire meter and reach the Red section you will trigger the Santa’s Box round. This will first add 3x3 Wild Santa block of symbol. If no cascades happen, it will become 2x2 block, and then finally ending as 1x1 block of Wild. New symbols will drop from above to fill the empty slots on the grid.
Super-Sized Symbols
When you hit 4 matching symbols adjacent to each other, they will group and form a 2x2 symbol block that will double the wins if they get involved in a win combo.
Random Gifts
On any initial non-win spin, there is a chance for Santa to drop up to 8 Wilds randomly on the reels. You will even get a chance to see a return. Here, a random low pay symbol will get highlighted on each spin, and if these get removed as a part of win combo, they will leave behind 1x1 Wild block.
Summary
Santa's Factory looks very dreamy and filled with candies, just like you’d imagine it to look like, so it’s a huge plus. Game is designed really in a festive mood, both visually and feature-wise. You will get plenty of gifts to unwrap and plenty of surprises to look forward to. Just keep in mind that it’s highly volatile slot with 96.32% RTP. Overall, a great holiday spirited slot worth a try.
Santa's factory is most definitely a clone of Reactoonz 250%! And that is why I fell in love with his slot. Even though it seems extra high volatile, I am sure maybe at the same level as Reactoonz, but if a Bonus Buy cost x500, I can imagine reaching the bonus stage playing the natural way might take way longer to reach compared to if it was Reactoonz
Believe it or not, I opened this slot and to my surprise, I trigger the free spins or bonus feature within the first 10 spins. I was so excited, that I played this slot in Demo mode very much doing bonus buys to test it. The return is never less than half your bonus buy, as that is the minimum.
You see this slot has a multiplier of x10 when you reach the bonus stage and I think that is what makes this slot amazing. The feature plays exactly how it should be playing like Reactoonz, but with an x10 multiplier, 5/10 times guarantees you an x500 or more win.
The hit ratio in the base game is minimal. After I won around close to x500 with a natural trigger, I bash this slot another 150 free spins to see if I can reach the bonus feature, but could not do so.
I saw that out of 10 spins, If you luck 3 to 4 out of 10 spins will be a winning spin, hence I feel is more volatile, because you have more empty dead spins.
Overall I would recommend any slot player out there to give this slot a try, I would seriously not mind buying x500 bonuses in this slot, as I know worst-case scenario I would get guaranteed at least half my money back and those are good odds for me personally.
Big ups to Game Art to for once in a long time creating a very enjoyable slot.
