Pragmatic Play releases new slot Santa's Great Gifts in anticipation to Christmas season

iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play announced Thursday the launch of its latest slot, Santa’s Great Gifts. The company said it is awarding players "Christmas multipliers" in this new release, which is set across 6x5 reels and has symbols depicting various staples including baubles, candy canes, snow globes and more.

At least eight matching symbols need to be landed anywhere on the game board to trigger a win, the firm explains. This creates a tumble feature with new symbols taking the place of winning ones allowing for additional wins to be made thereafter. 

During any spin, multiplier presents can randomly land on the game board, with a value from 2x to 100x attached. These are triggered when a tumbling sequence ends, at which point the values of all multipliers are added together and the total win gathered is multiplied by this amount. 

Free spins are unlocked for landing at least four scatters with any additional awarding extra free spins up to a maximum of 20. Here, a progressive feature is active and starts at level one with multipliers mirroring the base game’s value of 2x to 100x. The landing of numerous multipliers increases the minimum value of these up to 50x. 

Santa’s Great Gifts follows the steps of recent launches such as Gems of Serengeti and Shield of Sparta, which reside among a collection of over 205 titles in Pragmatic Play’s games portfolio. 

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Santa’s Great Gifts features a popular Christmas theme, but packs a host of innovative elements to keep players engaged, regardless of the time of year. The slot’s progressive features allow players to unlock multipliers in the free spins round and builds upon the fan favourite cluster style gameplay to deliver spirited festive cheer.” 

Earlier this week, the company also announced the launch of Snake & Ladders Snake Eyes, a new title in the Snakes & Ladders slot series. According to Pragmatic Play, the game brings “added thrills” to the classic board game that inspired it.

On Wednesday, the company also confirmed the signing of a new partnership with Peruvian operator Tinbet for three of its verticals. Under the terms of this deal, Tinbet’s customers will benefit from the provider’s slots, Live Casino and Virtual Sports content, featuring a vast collection of products that “are proven to boost player engagement.”
