Dr. Santa & Mr. Claus Slot Machine

No one knows exactly what happens on Christmas Eve and how billions of gifts reach the homes of all children worldwide: well, with its Holiday-themed slot, Dr. Santa & Mr. Claus, provider WorldMatch offers its own version of the story! Here you play on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines. The RTP is calculated at 94.15% and the volatility is low.

Dr. Santa & Mr. Claus slot: features

Santa Claus is a very popular folkloric figure in Christmas traditions, and many themed slots have chosen him as the protagonist in recent years. WorldMatch has decided to revisit this theme once again, presenting it from an incredibly original perspective: Santa Claus has created a robot in his own image, tasked with monitoring the robotic assembly line that makes toys for distribution worldwide. However, Mr. Claus doesn't seem as kind and peaceful as his counterpart Dr. Santa: he's wielding a laser gun... and look at that grin!

The atmosphere of a Christmas-themed game wouldn't be complete without an appropriate soundtrack: we'll hear tinkling bells and typical Christmas carols that warm the atmosphere and soften the coldness of this original factory full of robots.

To win, you need to align 3 to 5 matching symbols on one or more of the 10 available paylines. The base bet ranges from just €0.10 to €10 per spin. This isn't a game suited for high rollers, but prizes come frequently due to the low volatility. The payout table shows the following winning combinations:

• Female robot pays up to 500x;
• Robot teddy bear pays up to 400x;
• Robot hedgehog pays up to 300x;
• Mechanical Christmas tree pays up to 200x;
• Mechanical Christmas ball pays up to 100x;
• A pays up to 80x;
• K pays up to 60x;
• Q pays up to 40x;
• J pays up to 20x.

Dr. Santa & Mr. Claus bonus features

Wild: Mr. Claus is the first wild of the game and substitutes all standard icons to form the best possible winning combinations. The second wild is Dr. Santa, who becomes an Expanding Wild when landing on the game grid (if corresponding to the hat moving between the reels) and further optimizes winning chances.

Multiplier: The x2 symbol multiplies all payouts on the grid. If more than one x2 symbol appears in the same spin, wins are increased up to a maximum of x8. If a respin needs to be played and additional winning lines are formed, the x2 symbol remains on screen until all combinations are paid.

Free Spins: The scatter shows a cart of fireworks and, landing 3 to 5 times during the same spin, offers 3 to 7 free spins. During free spins, if the Wild Dr. Santa appears on the reels, two other random symbols are transformed into wilds. Winning combinations during free games eliminate the involved symbols and replace them with others falling from above, potentially generating an unlimited number of Respins.

Pros and cons of Dr. Santa & Mr. Claus

Dr. Santa & Mr. Claus is a particularly fun game due to its original theme. Like all Worldmatch games, it also offers truly interesting base paytable values, optimized this time by 2 Wilds. The Expanding Wild, Random Wild, and Respin features give the possibility to obtain really high-value wins, but you must always consider that this slot's RTP is well below the 96% average. The low volatility, however, effectively balances the low payout rate.
