Return of the Rudolph Slots

Even if you can't name all Santa's reindeer, we bet the first one you always think of is Rudolph. So, rather than giving Santa center stage in this slot game, it's Rudolph who takes the reins. The developer responsible for creating this game has come up with lots of appealing festive slots already, so could this be another memorable one from them? Let's review Return of the Rudolph to find out more about it.

Have you figured out who the developer might be?

If you thought of RTG (Realtime Gaming) or Spin Logic Gaming, you got it right, as both are brands used by the same development team.

The demo version makes the ideal starting point

If you're not sure whether to put this on your list of real Christmas slot games to play, why not try the practice version first? It's the best way to figure out what you make of it.

Theme information for Return of the Rudolph

With the scant details we have already given you, it's obvious that we have another Christmas-themed slot to check out here. Whether the details are obvious or not is another matter, but we'll come to those in a second.

Design features to note in this game

Does this have a cool and festive design? It does, so it certainly doesn't let us down on that point. There are a few candy cane decorative touches, along with lots of festive details including lots of snow.

Facts to note about the Return of the Rudolph slot game

We have a five-reel game to play here, and it comes with a progressive jackpot too. That surely would be a nice surprise if someone managed to scoop it just ahead of the big day.

Rudolph acts as the substitute, and while he only appears on the middle reel, he does provide a 3x boost to a prize that he becomes part of. Meanwhile, the scatter shows a couple of thugs. Yep, there are going to be a few quirky elements in this slot game!

Lots of paylines on offer

There are 50 of them all told, so that gives plenty of scope for one or more prizes whenever you spin those reels.

Coins start at a penny each

Yep, and they give you a 50-cent minimum to go on for playing all those lines. Other coins are available but remember to check the total wager before spinning the reels.

The paytable explains all the rules of the game

And there are lots of tweaks and twists involved, so spend some time reading that first.

Bonuses to look forward to if you play this slot game

There's no guarantee of triggering anything, of course, but the bonus features all lead to free games if you manage to find a trigger.

How to earn some free spins to play in Return of the Rudolph

Three scatter symbols will trigger the bonus round of spins you can play. But what exactly is going to happen? One of three things, as it turns out.

Santa Strikes Back provides you with seven games, where the reels might have some candy canes in view. If you find one on each of the five reels, another batch of free spins will come your way, this time featuring a larger multiplier.

Rudolph's Revenge triggers eight free spins, with a 2x boost on all prizes. If you find the thug icon, you can trigger a bigger multiplier.

The other possibility is to find the Rudolph's Rampage bonus feature. Santa's workshop is hiding the locations of various elves. Depending on how many you find, you could receive up to 50 free games by the time you're done. We think this is our favorite bonus.

RTP details for Return of the Rudolph

The game doesn't produce a return to player percentage, although we have no doubt that there is one. You may find it alters depending on the casino that offers access to the game though.

Did we rate this game highly enough to call it a festive favorite?

We're giving it 9/10 as there is so much going on in the game. All the festive trimmings are there, but you'll see lots of little tweaks that really make it a delight to play.

Five thugs equal the jackpot!

Of course, everyone wants to be able to walk away with the progressive jackpot in their pocket, despite the long odds on doing just that. The thug logo is the one to watch for, as five of those on a paid line is the trigger for that outcome.

Play for some festive entertainment at no cost

The entertaining slot game is ideal if you're trying to get into the festive spirit. Add the demo of Return of the Rudolph to your slot game roster this year.

Cover 50 lines from just 50 cents if you play the real thing
