Santa’s Puzzle

Santa's Puzzle is a Christmas-themed video slot developed by Endorphina. The game features a 5-reel, 4-row layout with 50 paylines, offering players a festive gaming experience centered around Santa Claus and his fan mail.

The slot's theme revolves around Santa's world, specifically focusing on the letters and pictures he receives from his admirers. The game's atmosphere is jovial and exciting, capturing the essence of Christmas celebration while adding a unique twist with the concept of Santa's fangirls.

Symbols in the game include various Christmas-themed icons and possibly representations of Santa's fan mail or admirers. The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus symbol, enhancing players' chances of forming winning combinations. Wild symbols appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The Bonus symbol, which triggers the main feature, appears only on reels 1 and 5. When four Bonus symbols land simultaneously on the top and bottom positions of both these reels, it activates the Puzzle Bonus Game.

The Puzzle Bonus Game is the slot's primary attraction:

• The main game reels transform into a 5×4 grid of puzzle pieces.
• Each puzzle piece is actually a reel that may reveal a portion of a picture or a default image.
• Players start with 3 attempts to land picture pieces.
• When a picture piece lands, it stays in place, and attempts reset to 3.
• Each grid position has an attached multiplier (ranging from x1 to x16) awarded when filled.
• The goal is to complete the picture before running out of attempts.
• There are 12 different pictures representing 12 individual girls, each for a different month.
• Completing a full picture awards the HoHoHot Prize of 1000x the total bet.

Additionally, the game offers a Classic Risk Game (Gamble feature) where players can potentially double their winnings up to 10 times by beating the dealer's card.

An interesting feature of Santa's Puzzle is its unique blend of a Christmas theme with a fan mail concept, creating a novel twist on traditional holiday-themed slots. The Puzzle Bonus Game adds an engaging and potentially lucrative element to the gameplay, making it stand out among other Christmas-themed slots.
