Saint Nicked Slot Game | Lucksome Slots

It’s that time of year again when festive cheer is in the air and Christmas Slots are on our screens.

Saint Nicked is Lucksome Game’s contribution to the genre and features Santa and Rudolph as the two main characters, as well as pressies, gingerbread men, glasses of brandy, and a pair of fluffy handcuffs as symbols on the reels.

The latter should give you a hint that this is not your usual Christmas slot. Santa and Rudolph have swapped the customary glowing firesides and moonlit snowscapes for a seedy back-alley bar or jail cells once the free spins kick in. And as well as irreverent Christmas humour, this slot is packed full of special features, including an Advent Calendar, free spins and more.

The bonus features will be described in more detail below, but first, we’ll take a closer look at the technical aspects. The game has a default 5×3 grid with 243 paylines in the base game, which can change dramatically in the free spins. Wins are formed by landing three or more of the 10 to A card ranks or the premiums, except for Rudolph, anywhere on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost. As the most valuable regular symbol, Rudolph awards prizes for combos of just two.

Betting options range from 20c to €40 per spin, and the volatility is medium/high. The RTP default setting is a good 96.28%. But in an unfortunate trend that has hit the industry, this is adjustable downwards, so you should be sure to check before playing.

Game Features

Saint Nicked special features include Santastic Multipliers, a Bar Metre, Happy Hour, an Advent Calendar, free spins, and a Bonus Buy for players outside the UK.

Santastic Multipliers applies an x5 multiplier to all wins on any spin where Santa, who’s the games wild, and Rudolph are part of a winning combo.

At the side of the grid, the Bar Metre collects special beer mug overlays that appear on normal symbols. These can trigger the next Advent Calendar prize if enough are collected to reach the trigger point before the metre resets.

The Happy Hour bonus can trigger randomly in the base game to add beer mug overlays to the grid.

The Advent Calendar contains 25 prizes of increasing value which are awarded in turn whenever it triggers from the Bar Metre. These can be either free spins or cash prizes.

The cop car scatter will trigger  5, 10, or 20 free spins when 3, 4, or 5 land anywhere on the grid. In the free spins, the Santastic Multiplier can now go as high as x25. Also, the round is played in a jail block, with two extra rows added to the grid. The cells on these are locked but open one at a time whenever a key symbol lands, adding extra paylines. Unlock all the cells, and you’ll play on a 5×5 grid with 3,125 ways to win. Key or soap symbols landing also award +1 extra spin.

The Bonus Buy, available to non-UK players, triggers the free spins with increased RTP for a cost of 100x  or 300x the bet for the Deluxe or Double Lux package.
