This festive season, WinSpirit Casino has launched a heartwarming campaign called Wish Express — a New Year campaign that invites players to share their most genuine wishes, with one lucky dream set to be made real by WinSpirit itself.

Inspired by the childhood tradition of writing letters to Santa, this campaign turns nostalgia into an interactive community experience. Instead of mailing wishes to Lapland, participants can now send them aboard a virtual train — the Wish Express — and receive rewards simply for taking part.

Journey of wishes and rewards

The idea is simple yet full of holiday spirit. It brings back that familiar childhood feeling — when the world felt a little more magical, and every twinkle of a holiday light promised something wonderful was about to happen.

This campaign taps into that sense of wonder, inviting players to dream freely and feel the joy of small surprises along the way. Players share a personal wish through a special form, and every step along the way brings something special in return:

• 20 Free Spins just for sharing your wish.
• 50 Free Spins if your wish is featured on WinSpirit’s social channels.
• 100 Free Spins if the community picks your wish as the most inspiring.

And the highlight? One particularly heartfelt wish will be fulfilled in real life, turning a sincere online story into a true holiday miracle.

Celebrating sincerity

Beyond the bonuses, the project’s real goal is to remind players about the joy of believing — not in luck, but in kindness and possibility. Players, streamers, providers and media have already joined the initiative, turning it into a shared celebration of optimism and festive warmth.

Some of the wishes already shared are as heartwarming as they are diverse. One player dreams of a world where everyone does just one good deed a day. Another one wishes to reunite with a sibling they haven’t seen in years. And our partners? They’re dreaming too — from more smiles in 2026 to a future with four-day work weeks and more time to truly live.

WinSpirit invites everyone to take part — not only by sharing their own wish, but also by following the stories of others, discovering what the community dreams about, and voting for the most inspiring ones.

Through its warm storytelling and genuine tone, Wish Express feels less like a promotion and more like a celebration of shared dreams — a reminder that magic still exists when we choose to believe. What’s your wish — the one you’ve held onto for years? Share it with WinSpirit, and let’s see if this holiday season brings it to life.

This holiday season, Santa’s traded in his sleigh for a private jet and touched down on the Vegas Strip! Santa in Vegas delivers festive fun and flashy riches in a vibrant 5×4 slot packed with luxurious symbols, glittering lights and that famous Booming Games excitement. Spin through jets, limos, watches and shimmering gifts as you chase down wild wins in the city that never sleeps.

Look out for the Santa Collect feature in the base game: Red Santa collects Coin symbols to trigger the Coin Collection bonus, while Golden Santa gathers Scatter symbols to randomly trigger the coveted Free Spins feature.

Trigger the Free Spins bonus and experience the exciting symbol upgrade feature. With every spin, low-paying symbols can be eliminated and high-paying symbols can be upgraded, boosting your chances for bigger and brighter wins!

The excitement peaks in the Gift Spin, a guaranteed spin at the end of Free Spins where every Wild you’ve collected during Free Spins is dropped onto the reels in a powerful finale, with up to 20 Wilds unleashed for explosive win potential.

With seasonal cheer, golden glamour and a sleigh-full of win potential, Santa in Vegas brings you the ultimate Christmas party on the Strip. Time to jingle all the way to jackpot city!

“Santa in Vegas is all about turning up the holiday cheer with a Vegas twist,” said Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games.

“We’ve mixed bright visuals, exciting features and plenty of win potential to deliver a game that’s both festive and full of fun,  it’s Christmas with a touch of Vegas sparkle.”
