Book of Santa is a 2019 Christmas slot from Endorphina that applies the book format to a festive setting. It plays on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, with free spins, an expanding symbol and Endorphina's usual risk game. Santa is the top paying symbol. Note that StakeLogic also has a game called Book of Santa; this page covers the Endorphina version. It suits you if you like book slots and seasonal themes.
How does Book of Santa work?
You play five reels and three rows with 10 paylines. Matching symbols from left to right pay. Endorphina's paytable lists Santa as the top symbol, paying 500x the line bet for five, with the bell at 200x and the star at 75x.
The book symbol works as the scatter and, as in most book games, also helps complete wins. Five scatters pay 200x on their own. After a win, you can enter the risk game to try to double your winnings, or collect.
Bets range from 0.01 to 50 per spin, so the game works for very small stakes. The snowy graphics and festive symbols replace the usual Egyptian artwork, but the structure will feel familiar if you have played any book slot.
What are the Book of Santa bonus features?
Landing enough scatters starts the free spins round. Catalogues list an expanding symbol feature, which in book games means one symbol is picked to grow across whole reels and pay on all lines during the round.
Endorphina also lists In-Game Free Spins and Bonus Pop, which are its own features for awarding spins during play. Because the provider does not publish full details for these features, check the help screen in the game for the exact rules.
Is Book of Santa worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
Endorphina lists the RTP at 96.05%. Some casinos may run other settings, so check the info screen where you play.
Endorphina rates volatility as high. The game's result depends heavily on free spins, and a round with a low paying expanding symbol can be disappointing. The provider does not state an overall maximum win, so be careful with any figure you see quoted elsewhere.
Christmas slots get most of their play in December, and many casinos move them to the front of the lobby during the season. The gameplay itself does not change with the date, so the same rules and RTP apply all year.
