Santa’s Wild Helpers Slot Game | Spinomenal Slots

Santa’s Wild Helpers is a Christmas-themed video slot from a game developer called Spinomenal. Santa’s Wild Helpers was released in 2015, and it’s built around a 5-reel, 3-row format. It has 25 fixed paylines and wins pay from left to right.

Unlike many of Spinomenal’s video slots, Santa’s Wild Helpers has an RTP of above 96%, set at 96.6%. This is pretty good and is above the online gambling industry average.

This Xmas slot game can be played from as little as 0.25 credits, and the maximum bet reaches as high as 250 credits! It offers a max win of up to 10,000X and has a medium variance math model.

Graphically, Santa’s Wild Helpers isn’t the most appealing slot to look at – but you’ve got to keep in mind that it was released more than seven years ago.

There are four low-value symbols, which are all Christmas-themed icons made out of gingerbread; there’s a Gingerbread Man, a Gingerbread House, a Gingerbread Rocking Horse, and a Gingerbread Christmas Tree. These low-value symbols pay between 25X and 50X your stake for a 5-of-a-kind combo.

There are five higher-paying symbols, which all have a purple background. These include a House, a Christmas Tree, Bells, a Stocking, and an Elf. The latter is the game’s highest-paying symbol, awarding a whopping 400X your stake for a 5-of-a-kind combo!

Game Features

There’s a lot of action in Santa’s Wild Helpers – and the first feature is the Surprise Wild. After any winning spin during the base game, the surprise wild feature can trigger. When it does, a wild symbol will randomly position itself on the reels in a winning position. This will create a brand-new win and award you extra payouts!

There’s also an expanding wild; when you land a wild symbol on the third reel, there’s a chance that it can expand. When it does, it will expand to fill the entire reel – making it easier to form wins! The expanding wild is only present during the base game.

Next up, there’s a free spins bonus round. This is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. You will then be awarded a cash prize of between 2X and 10X and between five and 15 free spins, depending on how many scatter symbols you landed. There are no enhancements in the free spins, but it is possible to re-trigger the feature.

Finally, there’s a “pick me bonus“. This is triggered by matching three or more “BONUS” scatter symbols anywhere in view. You will then be asked to pick from one of the symbols on your screen and be awarded a win of up to 100X your stake.
