The snowy and sleepy town does not know what is about to go down as the alien has its grapplers wrapped around the slot and awaits her eggs to hatch.
Wild Santa and Alien Bonus Features
Santa randomly transforms symbols into Wilds, except for the alien Scatter. In the base game, this transformation can cause winning combinations in a non-paying round. During the Free Spins feature, the Wild will expand to cover the reel and create multiple winning combinations with amazing payout potential. Alien Scatters trigger the Bonus Wheel feature if three or more land on the reels in the base game. Spin the wheel for up to 20 Free Spins or a win of up to 100x your bet.
✓ Christmas Gift Rush by Habanero

The slot appears in an alpine village set in a wintery scene with lit up window sills and smoking chimneys. A festive backtrack of Jingle Bells creates a jolly tone and the tinsel surrounding the centre row is a hint of something special.
The Gift That Keeps on Giving
The red gift with the golden bow is your Wild, which substitutes all symbols and awards returns worth 20 times your stake for 3 of a kind. Habanero’s slot game has one Bonus attribute, its Nudge Feature, that can turn one spin into a glorious game filled with gifts of wins and progressive multipliers.
The game starts with the centre row activated for a Nudge feature to trigger with any win. When a win takes place, a single random reel will nudge one position down and award wins once more. With the first nudge, the top row activates, and the second nudge activates the bottom row. The third and following nudges increase the win multiplier. This will continue until no more winning combinations land. In certain areas, punters can buy the nudge feature at 30x their stake.

Stacked Up Bonus Features
When a wild is part of the winning cluster combo, it triggers a respin after all symbols transform into mystery symbols and become sticky to stay in place. During the Secret Santa Respin Feature, every time a win occurs next to the mystery symbols from the previous round, the new cluster also transforms, triggering another respin. Once no more new clusters form, the respins end, but all the mystery symbols reveal the same symbol for one big cluster win.
Free Spins trigger through the presence of a minimum of 3 Bonus symbols. 5 Spins will activate with 3 Bonus symbols and one more spin occurs for every additional Bonus symbol on the reels. Secret Santa is active during Free Spins which has a guaranteed Wild for every spin. With each spin, an additional Wild appears, and Bonus symbols can award spins, multipliers, or a combination of both.

Guests of Santa’s bash left snapshots on the slot grid with a large Christmas tree standing proudly next to it holding the key, or rather the baubles, to Free Spins and more. Mischievous Christmas music adds to the playful tone with winning symbols that tumble away for successive wins.
Bonus Features to Light Up the Tree
Rudie, the reindeer, pops in now and then to drop either Wilds, bauble triggers, or a respin while the lit-up baubles stay in place on the tree. During the Free Spins feature, he can add up to 4 free spins to the round and Wilds and locked reels with 7 rows. Rudie will appear more frequently during Free Spins.
At least 8 Baubles need to be activated on the tree for 8 Free Spins to trigger and the more baubles you activate, the better your starting point. Successive tumbles activate the baubles on the Christmas tree and Magic Baubles can appear activating up to 3 additional baubles. Lighting up 10 or more baubles will add multipliers to the Free Spins. During this feature, four or more successive tumbles will increase the number of spins and when a reel locks, the multiplier increases.

Midnight Magic Bonus Features
Santa is Wild and Lucky in this wonderland but will only appear with respective features. The colourful snowflakes each represent different enhancers. Should a cluster win fall on one of the randomly placed snowflakes, a feature triggers after the tumble completes.

Yellow and Red snowflakes award Blocks and Supersize modifiers respectively, where symbols increase in size to 2x2 or larger. The Green snowflake awards Lucky Santa where up to 15 Wild symbols can land on the screen.
Midnight Riches trigger if the player collects 140 points on the meter situated to the left of the grid. Points accumulate with each tumble win in a spin. Once the feature triggers play starts at level one and progresses if you collect enough points for the following levels. All Snowflake modifiers trigger during this feature, which includes a win multiplier that increases with each level.
