About
Christmas has come early, blokes and sheilas. And we're not talking about all those epic work Xmas parties. Nope, Christmas has come early in the form of Santa's Reel Wheel!
Better than a new bike and more lucrative than hitting that Chrissy Powerball jackpot, Santa has packed his sleigh with an incredible amount of ways to win. And with level-based gameplay that adds another element of jolly excitement, you'll be Santa's new favourite when you take a seat at this pokie.
So don't wait for Christmas or (heaven forbid) the New Year. Santa's Reel Wheel is paying out to all the good boys and girls at this very moment. If you want to snatch a payout present from under the tree, you need to get spinning!
Just head to our bonzer pokie game section to play it now. Otherwise, you can learn all about Santa's Reel Wheel AND scoop a new game bonus by reading on below.
Gameplay
Level-based gameplay? Any way pays? A festive pokie theme? Santa's Reel Wheel has it all!
This game is easy enough for even the newest pokie player to understand. But it also offers enough features and fun to entertain even the most experienced gambler. Translation? It's packed with surprises that will have you chuckling like the big man himself!
For example, this medium-volatility pokie pays any way. This means that you can create winning combinations from left to right OR right to left. So no matter which way Santa's sleigh is going on any particular day, you're in for some Christmas cheer!
After that, there's a 50,000-top award, 3 reels and that level-based gameplay we spoke about earlier. In all honesty, this is what we're most excited about as it adds a point of difference and gives you a bunch of new ways to score.
As for the overall vibe of Santa's Reel Wheel, it's dripping with winter Chrissy feels. But don't be bummed if you're south of the equator. Any sentiments that this game doesn't capture the feel of Aussie Xmas are quickly swept aside once you start winning!
Symbols
Frosty the Snowman. Happy little elves. Candy canes and Saint Nick himself – Santa's Reel Wheel is loaded with all the joyous symbols you love around Xmas time.
But these low and high-paying icons are just the tip of the North Pole. If you want the advice of our legendary VIP punters, the Fireworks scatter and Blue Diamond wild are where it's at.
This Blue Diamond, which can pop up at any time, will help complete any combination it appears in. Think about it as a substitute symbol.
The Fireworks scatter, on the other hand, can help level you up or activate a bonus round depending on where it lands. And just in case you forget, symbols pay any way.
This means that you collect cash no matter where they land on the gameboard!
Bonus rounds
Santa's Reel Wheel is packing more bonus features than Santa has gifts. But just like gifts, he's giving them out to everyone he meets. So if you want to snag a x1,000 win, 20 or more free games or an instant prize, you better get in line. This bloke is better than your local shopping centre Santa - he can walk the walk and talk the talk!
Level Up!
The most prominent feature of Santa's Reel Wheel is the level-based gameplay. And while we're talking about it in the Bonus rounds section of this game guide, it's actually just how the game works.
To put it simply, there are 3 single-line games on the board, with the primary level 1 game being on the bottom line and levels 2 and 3 above it.
The more lines that come into play, the more you can win. However, levels 2 and 3 will be locked when you first begin. Only under the following conditions can they be unlocked.
- Any main game win or 1 or more Fireworks in level 1 unlocks Level 2 (3-reels)
- Any level 2 game win or 1 or more Fireworks in level 2 unlocks Level 3 (3-reels)
- Any win on level 3 or 1 or more Fireworks occurring in level 3 unlocks Santa's Bonus Wheel
In regard to the +1 Spin symbols, they award you an extra spin. So what you're hoping for here is to land a whole bunch of Bonus Symbols to increase your multipliers AND lots of +1 Spin symbols to keep the Arthurian payout party going.
Santa's Bonus Wheel
The second bonus round consists of free games. And it begins when 3 or more Dragons appear anywhere on the gameboard. This will see you score 10 retriggerable free games instantly. What's more, there's also the chance to land 1 to 3 stacked Wild symbols at random on each spin.
- Grand Bonus
- Major Bonus
- Minor Bonus
- Mini Bonus
- Advance (Santa's Mega Bonus Wheel)
- Fireworks Feature
Santa's Mega Bonus Wheel
The next feature within a feature is Santa's Mega Bonus Wheel, which as you can probably guess opens you up to even more lucrative prizes. Triggered when you activate the Advance prize, it branches out into Free Games or the Fireworks bonus round. Play starts at level 2 for each free game, thereby skipping level 1 and allowing for bigger wins. At this point, up to 20 free games can be won OR the Fireworks bonus round will begin. Here's how it works:
- The gameboard changes to 15 spinning positions and all levels are in play
- You get 3 respins with Fireworks held in position
- If any new Fireworks appear, they will lock into position and your respin counter resets to 3
- You win a Grand Bonus of x1,000 your bet if all 15 positions are filled by Fireworks
Where to play?
Phew... that's a whole lot to take in. But trust us when we say it's easy to play once you get started.
So, with that in mind, it's time to try Santa's Reel Wheel for yourself. And the best place to do that is at Australia's favourite online casino. Just whip out your phone or pull it up using the browser on your computer, tablet or laptop. As we mentioned at the start, Santa doesn't mind whether you've been naughty or nice. He's just happy to see you playing Santa's Reel Wheel!
