Push Gaming · 2018
Choose Fat Santa for a Christmas video slot from Push Gaming on a fixed 5x5 grid. This page lays out its figures before the first spin.
If you want a Christmas and Winter theme with a fixed structure, Fat Santa is built for that choice. The game uses a 5x5 grid with 50 fixed win lines that pay from left to right. On each line only the highest win is awarded, and wins on separate lines are summed. Three matching symbols are the fewest that pay on a line.
Should you prefer a grid that changes during a spin, Fat Santa adds Santa's Sleigh to the base game. The sleigh leaves Christmas Pie symbols that lock in as Wild. The Free Games Feature starts when Fat Santa lands with Wild Christmas Pie symbols, and the Santa symbol collects pies on a meter that adds spins. Random Wilds, Retrigger and Symbol Collection complete the list.

Five steps in total
Covers the order of a round, from choosing your bet to deciding when to stop.
Pick a bet from A$0.25 up to A$100 before the first spin. Examples on this page use A$1, A$5 and A$10, and every payout scales with the stake you choose.
Each of the 50 fixed lines pays left to right, and only its highest win counts. Wins on separate lines add up, and paytable values multiply your total bet.
During base game spins, Santa's Sleigh can drop locked Christmas Pie Wilds at random spots. Symbols that would land under a pie become pies instead.
A Fat Santa landing with a Wild Christmas Pie starts 5 free spins. Santa stays locked and collects pies on a meter that adds extra spins.
Set a session budget before the first spin, and stop when it is spent. No one can know a session's result in advance.
Before you buy, note the price is 80 times your base bet, so the dollar cost follows the stake you pick, as the table shows.

Before betting, know what return to player means in dollars: every A$100 staked comes back at the rate in the table, over the long run. The version running here is shown in the game rules.

Recognise the pies quickly
Useful when you want to recognise the bonus and win screens before you spin.
Stretch your spins
This block settles how each bonus starts, what it awards, and what the sleigh does to the symbols.
Land a Fat Santa symbol with one or more Wild Christmas Pie symbols on the grid to start 5 free spins. The Santa symbol stays locked and moves to collect landing pies on a meter. Meter fills add +3, +2, +2 and +1 spins while the Santa portrait grows.
Base game spin5 free spins
Spin the fixed 5 reels x 5 rows grid, where 50 fixed win lines pay from left to right. Only the highest win per line is awarded, while wins on separate lines add up. Paytable values are already multipliers of the total bet.
Bet placedLine wins
Keep spinning in the base game and Santa's sleigh may trigger while the reels turn. It flies over the grid, leaving Christmas Pie symbols at random positions. These lock in place and act as Wild, and any symbol landing under a locked pie becomes a Christmas Pie.

Demo guide
Most players worry about spending before they understand the reels, and the demo answers that first.
Pick the demo to watch the reels first. It needs no money and pays nothing, while the real game needs an account and the legal age of 18+.
Play for realDeciding how long to keep spinning for the bonus round is a choice no one can make on facts alone. The bonus round comes at random, and no spin count, streak or pause tells you when it will land. Whatever the RTP version, one session ends with a result you cannot predict, since every spin stands on its own.
Choosing to trust the return figures starts with knowing which RTP version runs here. That is shown only in the game rules, not on the reels. The RTP figure describes the long-run return of the game, not what one evening will bring.
Expecting much from the top prize is a choice worth checking against one fact. The maximum win of Fat Santa, x11,322 of the total bet, is a ceiling reached very rarely, so treat it as a limit to know, not a result to plan on.
Between spins
Useful once you have seen Fat Santa's rules and want a second game to compare with.
You must be 18+ to play Fat Santa. If play stops feeling fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget before opening Fat Santa and treat it as the full cost. Only money set aside for entertainment belongs in the game.
Choose your stopping point before the first spin and keep to it, even after a big win. Past rounds cannot predict the next one.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so they apply without a decision in the moment.
If Fat Santa stops being fun, take a break from it or self-exclude. Stepping away is a normal choice and needs no reason.
Player questions
Most worries come before the first spin: what the top prize is and what a bet costs.
The highest win on Fat Santa is x11,322 of the bet. At the example top bet of A$10 it is A$113,220, and at the highest bet allowed here, A$100, it is A$1,132,200. This is a ceiling the game can reach, not a result anyone can plan around.
The lowest stake on Fat Santa is A$0.25 a spin, and the highest allowed here is A$100. The paytable is worked out on a A$1 bet, and every payout is a multiple of the total bet. A$1, A$5 and A$10 are only examples used across this page.
Fat Santa is offered in two RTP versions, 96.45 and 96.59. RTP is the long-run return per A$100 staked, so a single session can land above or below it. Fat Drac in the same series runs at 96.57, and Fat banker at 96.43.
The grid, the 50 fixed win lines and the free spins trigger are set out on this page. Reading them first means the rules are clear before any stake goes in. The paytable shows what each symbol pays on a A$1 bet, so the figures can be checked.
