Big Santa Fortune

When hearing the name of this online slot game, many punters would imagine it to be another typical Christmas game. However, Big Santa Fortune actually revolves around a fishing theme, which of course, means that a collect mechanic is introduced. This game is set underwater, with nothing but bubbles being visible in the background. Another attractive aspect is the mobile compatibility, allowing players to spin on their phone or tablet without sacrificing immersion. 

Big Santa Fortune was produced by Inspired Gaming, a company that is certainly not new to the concept of creating festive slots. In the past, they have released top Christmas games such as Santa LinKing and Santa King Megaways. Of course, they also have some more evergreen titles in their collection, including Call Of The Wild, Respin 7s, and Big Egyptian Fortune.  

The usual 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols all make an appearance in Big Santa Fortune. However, they have been made festive with the addition of snow in various positions. Premium icons consist of a life ring, a tackle box, a fishing road, and a boat, which can award players with 50x, 50x, 100x, or 200x their stake size, respectively. 

Big Santa Fortune also has three different special symbols to cover. The first is a series of different fish, all of which can form a combination during the base game. Special symbol number two is a scatter symbol, shown as a bauble, which can trigger the main bonus mode. Finally, there is a wild symbol, displayed as Santa, which is only available during the free spins round. 

There is only one bonus in Big Santa Fortune. However, it consists of two parts. It can be triggered if 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols during the same spin, with players then being presented with 12 different baubles. There are a total of 4 different fish behind these baubles, all of which have different fixed values associated with them. When three of the same values are revealed, this will be the 'Big Sticky Fish' for the bonus round.

After this has been decided, the free spins will activate. Unlike in other slots, there is no limit to the number of spins that can be awarded in Big Santa Fortune. The bonus round will conclude when the 'Big Sticky Fish' is collected, which can be done if a Santa icon appears at the same time as the aforementioned fish. This value will then be awarded to players, alongside the values of any other fish that are caught throughout the round. 

Although the main icon is called the 'Big Sticky Fish', it will only become sticky when it appears for the first time. This gives players the chance to reel in other fish, before the main one lands on the board. It's also worth mentioning that multiple Santa symbols can appear during the same spin, with each icon reeling in all the fish in view.

Big Santa Fortune is a festive slot with a twist. While it only has one bonus mode, this consists of two parts, one of which is fully interactive. The appearance of the slot is pretty minimal; however, this allows it to translate over seamlessly to mobile devices!
