Just in time for the holiday season, Playzia is thrilled to announce the launch of Santa’s Reels, a vibrant and festive online classic slot game that’s guaranteed to spread cheer and big wins! With a 5×3 grid layout and 25 fixed paylines, this medium-low volatility game combines stunning Christmas-themed graphics, exciting features, and the chance to hit one of four jackpot prizes.

In Santa’s Reels, Santa himself acts as the Wild symbol, which can substitute for any regular symbol to create winning combinations. Playzia’s latest online slot features the exciting Jackpot Hold and Win round, unlocked by collecting 50 Bonus symbols across multiple sessions. Once activated, only Jackpot symbols appear on the reels, and the feature continues until 3 or more identical Jackpot symbols are collected, leading to one of the game’s big payouts.

Additionally, players can enjoy stacked wilds in the Free Spins round, triggered by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols, awarding 10 Free Spins with the possibility of unlimited re-triggers. The Buy Bonus feature allows players to instantly access either the Free Spins or Jackpot Hold and Win rounds by paying 20x or 40x their bet, respectively. Santa’s Reels has a medium low volatility, with a default 96% RTP, and 3 other variables to choose from.
