About Generous Santa
Generous Santa is one of the cleverest video slots, designed and developed by Games OS. The slot has a really cool, papery drawing style design to it, as well as some simplistic but much appreciated animation. Generous Santa features all your stereotypical Christmas themed icons, such as harts, stockings, reindeer, snowmen, candles, and candy canes. There’s even a dog (which looks more like a weasel) for your entertainment. Players can enjoy the 5-reels and 20-paylines that the slot offers, for relatively sizeable bets. It isn’t cheap by any means. Coin values range from 0.20 up to 2.00 in total. Meaning that minimum and maximum bets cost 0.20 per line, per spin, up to 40.00 per spin. Why this slot is so expensive isn’t really clear.
Special Features
Santa’s sleigh makes an appearance in the Generous Santa slot as a wild icon. As a wild, it is capable of replacing all other icons in the game, with the exception of the cuckoo bird symbol. If players accumulate up to 7 wilds on the Christmas tree, then they are in for a real treat.
Every time that the player lands a cuckoo bird on any active payline, the clock will move a little bit closer to midnight. Once sixty such symbols have been found on the paylines, then the Christmas Eve feature is activated.
For players seeking a big win, landing 5 of the Santa icons on any active payline will see them win a total non-progressive jackpot worth 5,000 coins.
Bonus Feature
The Christmas Eve feature is the main bonus in Generous Santa. Firstly, back to those wilds and the Christmas tree. When a player lands a wild on a payline, then a gift is added to the Christmas tree. Up to seven gifts can appear on the Christmas tree at any one time.
Then, after sixty cuckoo birds have been acquired on the reels, the clock will strike twelve. At that moment, the Christmas Eve feature is activated. Each gift from the Christmas tree will then open, and offer you a free spin with a random wild. This bonus constitute the only bonus round in this slot.
Although Generous Santa is an amazing looking video slot, and it does contain some pretty generous bonus features; it is going to be quite a while before you can accumulate all of those symbols to trigger the bonus. Couple that with the fact that the slot is actually rather costly to play, and you will find that not too many players are going to be keen to throw their money down on Generous Santa. For a slot that looks as good as Generous Santa does, this is a real shame.
