Santa Mummy Slot Review

You’re going to judge me on this but I have, on occasion, wondered what it would be like to have been born as Pamela Anderson’s son. Or maybe Paris Hilton’s son, Phoenix Barron (I sure hope that poor surrogate had a C-section #JustSayin) in time. 🙊

Because you know your friends will perv and go home and have “extended showers” 🚿🧼✊ after visiting your house. And then you have to look these people in the eye and maybe shake their hands at some point.

At least the mummy in Santa Mummy slot from Belatra Games will only scare people stiff. 😉

Gameplay

Now this is a festive season-themed game I can sink my claws into! The aesthetic is undoubtedly one of the more unique ones I’ve seen in a while – with a sarcophagus and an xmas tree flanking a 7-reel, 7-row grid.

And let’s not overlook the soundtrack – mercifully, there’s no Mariah Carey, although it’s a blend of Egyptian and Christmas sounds. Let the game chill for a while, and you’ll hear some growling and shuffling from our mummy. The MUTE button makes everything better.

When the gameplay starts initially, you’ll notice that only the middle rows are unfrozen; the bottom and top two are locked.

Landing a winning combo shatters the locked tiles above and below the winning symbols, but these respawn with the subsequent spin. Winning symbols will explode, and new symbols fall into those vacated positions. This Cascade feature will continue as long as you’re scoring wins.

The unique selling point of Santa Mummy slot is the frankly ludicrous 823,543 paylines you’ll find in this game. I kid you not! And then there’s the max multiplier that goes from 5,000x to 25,000x (more info below)!

The RTP is 96.36%, the volatility rate is high, and the top prize is $250,000.

Features

LIGHTNING FEATURE:

Lightning bolts can appear randomly during gameplay. The Blue Lightning Bolt obliterates tiles in the top and bottom rows. A yellow Lightning Bolt removes all low-paying symbols on the grid that weren’t involved in a win.

COINS:

You’ll also see Coins landing on the reels, carrying values of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100.

If there are 4 or more Coins on the reels after a Cascade during the base game, you’ll be awarded a win based on the sum of all the visible Coins multiplied by your bet. In Free Spins, your Coin wins will each be multiplied by a multiplier and then multiplied by your winnings.

FREE SPINS:

Free Spins also start with open and locked tiles, as in the base game.

Scarab Scatters shatter tiles that are horizontally or vertically near them when they land, and these unlocked tiles stay unlocked for the duration of the round. That’s how we get to 823,543 paylines, which means more winning opportunities.

When 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters drop (they’ll be collected in the meters to the left and right of the grid), this will trigger the Free Spins round and award 10, 11, 12, or 15 spins.

If all of the rows are unlocked during Free Spins, you’ll be awarded 3 extra spins – up to a maximum of 18 spins.

Now it’s the turn of the Accumulative Multiplier that you’ll see to the right of the reels. When Free Spins start, this reflects the number of triggering Scatters as a multiplier value. Each new Scatter increases the multiplier by 1x.

It’s also possible for the mummy to randomly appear and award 3 to 100 points to the Accumulative Multiplier.

When the Free Spins round ends, your winnings are boosted by the Accumulative Multiplier value.

ANTE BET:

Pay 25% more per bet and you’ll double your chances of nailing a Free Spins round 2x. Don’t forget to turn off the Ante Bet when you’re done, or you’ll pay the inflated amount forever.

BUY BONUS:

Options; that’s what you’ll see when you select the Buy Bonus.

  • Standard Mode: Buy a Free Spins round for a max win of 5,000x. Cost starts at 100x

  • Hot Mode: Buy special Free Spins with all tiles unlocked and paylines at 823,543 with a max possible multiplier of 25,000x. Cost starts at 500x

  • Mystery 80/20: Buy a lucky draw with an 80% chance of winning a Free Spins round or 20% for the Hot Mode. Cost starts at 180x

When you select the Mystery option, you’ll be presented with 5 sarcophagi; each one will be hiding either a standard Free Spin or a Hot Mode. You get what you select.

Performance

Testing revealed smooth loading and gameplay that wasn’t affected by using various devices or browsers.

Maximum Win

You can score a max multiplier of 5,000x in the base game or 25,000x thanks to the Hot Mode Bonus Buy. The top prize of this game is $250,000 as betting ranges from $0.20 to $50 in the base game, but it is capped at $10 for the Buy Bonus.

Conclusion

Santa Mummy slot is just a reskin of Mummyland Treasures slot so there’s no reason to pick the former over the latter, other than personal preference for the theme.

Irrespective, the game can rack up astonishing multipliers – and therefore wins – especially in Hot Mode. Now, that doesn’t mean it will happen every time but wowsers, I scored some insane wins on occasion. Like batsh*t crazy level stuff.

Of course, paying that kind of money and not winning hurts worse than dropping the soap in the penitentiary. Or so I’ve been told.

Yeah, this game has a lot going for it, but I’d recommend it to serious players only.
