Santas Gift Rush

If only one child in the world does not receive a Christmas present, Santa Claus has failed to finish his job successfully...

...that is why he is always in a hurry, accompanied by his faithful helpers.

Santa’s Gift Rush by Pocket Games Soft is one of the many titles out there inspired by a Christmas theme. Does it have something special that would make it stand out from the rest?

Playable across mobile devices too, it features 30 paylines fixed on a standard 5x3 grid.

Will all the presents be left under the Christmas tree in homes all over the world in time?

Let’s check it out together?

Theme and Symbols

As we all expect from this provider, the quality of the production is on the highest level.

Starting with the loading screen with a flexing Santa, background, grid, symbols...

...everything is done with such dedication and we can only say ’well done lads’ to the graphics department.

We also have to commend the original moments, such as the fact that the grid is placed in a brick fireplace and the spin button in a snow globe.

All of the above contributes to the Christmas hype.

Despite the fact that they have succeeded to get their place on the paytable as the symbols of the lowest value, royals won’t bother you so much, because there are only 4 of them (J-A) and besides that they’re done in a great style.

On the other side of paytable we will encounter sugar canes, gift boxes, Christmas socks, and reindeer which are the most lucrative regular symbols awarding 400x the bet for 5 of a kind.

Santa’s portrait is the wild and we also have Gift Rush symbol presented as a toy train.

Betting Options

You will need to set your bet between 0.01 and 0.50 coins per line, which means that for all 30 paylines you can set your bet between 0.30 and 150 coins.

The theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96.38% is not bad by any means, especially considering the current standards in modern releases.

By clicking on the spin options button placed on the left of the spin button, you will be able to adjust spinning speed or to select up to 100 auto spins.

Features

While it may not seem logical to you, it would definitely be strange for the release of this name to lack quality content.

Fortunately, it does not!

Wild

Represented by the portrait of Santa Claus, wilds will act as a standard substitute for any of the regular symbols, except the Gift Rush symbol.

Also, the wild is the most rewarding symbol and it can pay 1500x the bet for 5 of a kind.

Gift Rush Feature/Bonus Feature

Land 1, 2 or 3 Gift Rush symbols and you will trigger this feature. The new horizontal reel will appear and spin just above the main reels and it may reveal x2, x4, x5, an elf or Santa.

The type of bonus feature depends on which of these symbols land in the highlighted area:

• Coin Feature – land 1 or more x2, x4 or x5 symbols in the highlighted area on the horizontal reel and you will be awarded 2x, 4x or 5x the bet.
• Elf Feature – to trigger this feature, you will need to land 1 or more elf symbols in the highlighted area. The direct consequence of this is that all of the main reels will respin and the elf will reveal a random symbol (except the wild or the Gift Rush symbol). Then, 5 of these symbols will be randomly placed on the grid for every elf you have landed on the horizontal reel.
• Free spins – land 1 or more Santa images in the highlighted spots on the horizontal reels and you will be awarded 10 free spins for every Santa landed.

Keep in mind that during this phase 2x2 or 3x3 wild symbols can spawn on reels 3, 4 and 5.

In a Nutshell

The last month of every year can be quite stressful for the icon of the favorite holidays. Fortunately, he has never let us down.

Santa’s Gift Rush is one more in a row of quality titles brought by Pocket Games Soft and we think it’s definitely worth your attention considering the stunning graphics and plenty of interesting features.

Santa Claus is coming to town!
