The holiday season is fast approaching and Betsoft have released their festive-themed video slot Take Santa’s Shop. The biggest heist of the season is about to take place and features a cunning robber stealing from Santa’s shop at the North Pole while he’s out on his deliveries.

Take Santa’s Shop Design

Featuring superb graphics, familiar in many Betsoft slots, snow is falling across a landscape of trees with Santa’s workshop in the background. The slot offers 5 reels with 75 paylines and beautifully designed symbols including lower value playing cards, gingerbread man, gold bells, and candy canes. Available to play on desktop, mobile or tablet devices, bets range from 20p up to £20 per spin.

Gameplay

The gameplay is more unusual here as each progression round is played with ten spins. A bomb located at the bottom right of the screen ticks down your spins, when you reach the tenth spin an explosion of bauble wilds hits the reels. The number of red baubles you collect at the side and on the reels increase each time the robber symbol appears.The game comes with a free spins feature and this triggers after landing 3 scatters awarding 15 spins. As many as ten wilds are scattered on the reels during the feature and these move position around the grid. The progression feature is not in play during the free spins, so the wilds play a key part in creating new wins.If you are having a hard time reaching the free spins feature you have the option to ‘buy-in’ for 15 free spins but this will cost you. Free spins with 5 wild symbols cost 27x the bet, free spins and 7 wilds cost 50x the bet and free spins and 10 wilds cost 95x the bet.

Conclusion

Take Santa’s Shop is Betsoft’s festive title for 2020. The target market is aimed more at casual players who are not after huge jackpots. The 10-spin progression round is a great addition and awards extra wilds in the process. Overall, an enjoyable slot with plenty of Christmas fun with a smaller jackpot of 359x the bet.
