Santa the Slayer: Mancala's monster-hunting Santa, on 1xBet
Santa the Slayer, from Mancala, spins five reels over three rows and pays on twenty fixed lines, left to right. Santa turns into an armoured warrior facing Krampus, a snow monster and a witch; the base game relies on multiplier Wilds, and the Jackpot Game, played in respins, hands out four jackpots.
A winter night in the mountains
The reels sit in a wooden frame decorated with Christmas baubles, in front of snowy peaks and a pine forest under the night sky. Above them, the "Santa the Slayer – Hold and Earn" logo is flanked by four jackpot boards marked with Santa medallions. On the right are the yellow BUY BONUS button with its star, autoplay, the large orange spin button and the bet control; along the bottom, the "i" for the rules, balance, total bet, the message "Place your bets!" and winnings.
Monsters and letters
Krampus, the horned demon, is the best-paid symbol; next come the carrot-nosed snow monster, the dark elf with hat and knife, then the green witch. The letters A, K, Q and J complete the table in that order. Each line pays only its strongest combination, and simultaneous wins on several lines are added together.

Multiplier Wilds
According to the game rules, during the base game the Wilds carry x2 or x3 multipliers that apply to the win of each line they are on, and they replace all symbols except the special symbols. The stacked Wild, for its part, shows Santa in armour.
Jackpot Game in respins
Six special or Jackpot symbols, whatever the mix, open the Jackpot Game and its three respins. During this phase they lock onto the grid and are the only ones that pay; with every new arrival, Santa hands back three respins. The Jackpot Game is over once no respin remains or the whole grid is covered. Special symbols, blue and pink orbs, carry multipliers from 1 to 10; Jackpot symbols, Santa with crossed swords, award by their number the Mini (two), Minor (three), Major (four) or Grand (five). The BUY BONUS button lets you buy the Jackpot Game outright for 40 times the bet.
