Pick Santa's Slay if you want a Christmas video slot played on a 5x3 grid. The game uses 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay from left to right. A win needs only 2 matching symbols, so short runs of matches can pay. Symbols range from Christmas Bells down to the A, K, Q and J cards. The base game has no WILD, so WILD appears only in the free spins.
Choose the free spins if you want the features that set this game apart. SCATTERs start the round, and up to 8 WILDs land at random on each spin. Every WILD sticks until it helps form a win, and each one carries a random multiplier. Multiple WILDs on one position add up. Retriggers and special reels add to the round.
Know your extra spins
Unsure how the bonus starts or what the extra features do? The two steps below answer it.
Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters to start Free Spins of 10, 15 or 30 spins. Up to 8 Wilds land randomly each spin. Each stays sticky until a win forms through it and carries a random multiplier. Wilds on one spot add 1x each, and multiply in one win.
Base gameExtra spins
Bet on the 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, which pay wins from left to right. Wild does not appear here, so the other symbols carry every win. The lines never change, so every spin uses the same ten.
Placing a betRegular wins
Five steps per round
After this, you will know how a round runs and where to set your limit.
Pick a bet from A$0.05 up to A$480 before any spin. The examples here use A$0.40 and A$10, and the bet sets every win in money.
Wins form from left to right on any of the 10 fixed paylines. Two matching symbols starting on the first reel can already pay.
The base game shows no WILD, so wins come from the regular symbols alone. Multipliers only appear in the free spins, on WILDs that carry them.
Three, four or five SCATTERs start the free spins: 10, 15 or 30 spins. Up to 8 WILDs land at random on each spin and stay until a win forms through them.
Set your budget before the first spin, and stop once it runs out. Results on a high volatility game can swing sharply, and no one can know how a session will end.
Choose your stake first, because the bonus buy price is 100 times that bet, so the cost rises with every step up.

Game views
Look through these four screens to see the base game, a win, free spins and the bonus.
Decide your session budget before the first spin, because nobody can know when the bonus round will come. How often it comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a session can finish above or below the amount you started with.
Open the game rules before the first spin to find out which RTP version runs here. That version is shown only in the game rules, so the rules are the place to check it. Then decide how much you are willing to stake on Santa's Slay.
Treat the maximum win as a ceiling, not as a target for one session. The top prize is a multiple of the bet and is reached very rarely. No player can count on it, and the figure says nothing about how any single session will end.
Santa's Slay trial
Useful when you want to see how a round runs before staking anything.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account with Winx96 Casino and the legal age of 18+.
Play for realYou must be 18+ to play. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop.
Set a budget in dollars before you open Santa's Slay, and stop when it is gone, not when you feel lucky.
Decide the stop point before you spin, and keep to it after a win, because a payout can tempt you to bet more.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before a session, and do not raise them during play.
Take a break or self-exclude through BetStop as soon as Santa's Slay stops being fun, and do not chase losses.
After Santa's Slay
After reading this, you will have picked one other Pragmatic Play game to compare with Santa's Slay.
Know the bets
Most players fear unclear costs, so these answers show prices, bets and free spins up front.
Buy the free spins only if A$1,000 fits your budget, which is the price at the A$10 example bet. The buy costs 100 times the bet. The ante-bet toggle costs 2 times the bet and turns the buy off.
Compare the three RTP versions before you start playing. Each version returns a different share of the stake over a long run. RTP is a long-run figure, so it does not predict one session's result.
Treat Santa's Slay as a high volatility game, so wins can be rare and uneven. Volatility describes how wins are spread, and it cannot tell you when the next win lands. Bet only an amount you can afford to lose.
Start with the smallest stake to learn the rules, since the minimum bet is A$0.05. The paytable is set at A$0.40, so compare payouts there before you raise the bet.
Pick a bet that fits your session budget because Santa's Slay runs from A$0.05 up to A$480 per spin. The top bet is the highest stake allowed here, and it is not a target to aim for.
Watch for SCATTER symbols: three, four or five of them start 10, 15 or 30 free spins. During the free spins, up to 8 WILDs are added at random each spin, and they stay until a win forms through them.
