Smokey the raccoon makes a holiday return to help you deck the halls in Hacksaw Gaming’s latest “Le” title. We’ve switched out the back alleys of Paris for a winter wonderland, but Smokey will do his best to make sure a little Christmas magic shines through.

Behind this holiday veneer, though, there’s still a Hacksaw Gaming slot waiting to award 20,000x max, three other jackpots to collect, and a version of the holidays only Hacksaw could love.

Full Rules & Information About the Le Santa Online Slot

As per usual, Le Santa will take place on a 6×5 grid, with cluster pays. You’ll need five or more matching symbols to book a win. Each of these clusters then starts a cascade, and we hope these new symbols will kick off a new winning chain.

Volatility is listed as medium, though it feels a bit higher in actual gameplay. An RTP of 96.14% is on par with the other “Le” slots, and the 20,000x max jackpot is actually a step up from most of the other titles in the series.

Le Santa Symbols & Payouts

Low payers here are the card ranks, ten through Ace, paying 1x to 12x. Higher-value symbols are more Christmas in nature. We have a candy cane, a Christmas tree, an ornament, Christmas stockings, and even a festive bell, which can earn you up to 25 times your bet size.

The snowman is your festive Wild, and he can substitute for regular symbols, but not coins, clovers or Christmas Gifts/jackpot boxes. Rainbow symbols activate Golden Squares, which then fill in with Bronze, Silver or Gold Coins, as well as Santa Sack scatters or even jackpot boxes.

The Santa sacks collect the value of all the coins, while the clovers multiply the value of the coins. The jackpot boxes need to land with a rainbow to activate; those landing in a Golden Square are paid at the end of the round.

Christmas bells, candy canes, and Christmas trees adorn the paytable.

• All symbols: 18
• Highest-Paying Symbol: Red Gift Box
• Wilds: Snowman
• Paylines Pay: Left to Right
• Maximum Win: 20,000x

Le santa Bonuses & Features

You need to land at least three FS symbols to start the three progressive bonus games for the holiday festivities.

Silent Heist

Three scatters during the base game get you 10 free spins. Two more scatters during free spins get you +2, and 3 get you +4 spins.

Sleighing It

Four scatters get you ten free spins as well, but this time the Golden Squares are sticky until the end of your bonus.

Wreck the Halls

Five scatters get you ten free spins, but this time you’re guaranteed one rainbow symbol every spin and no bronze coins, just silver and gold.

Should you decide you’d like to buy your way into the bonus round, we have a plethora of options. At 3x, you can get five times more likely to trigger a bonus game.

At 60x, we can guarantee one win and one rainbow symbol on each spin. 80x buys you into the Silent Heist bonus round, while 250x gets you into Sleighing it.

We have four bonus buy features to choose from in Le Santa.

Similar Games & Best Alternatives

Hacksaw’s slightly chaotic collect and reveal style showcased in its “Le” series may not be for everyone but since there are almost a dozen slots in the series ranging from Le Bandit, Le King, Le Viking, Le Zeus and our favorite Le Cowboy, they clearly have a pretty wide following.

Still, if you prefer your Christmas slots sans raccoon, we won’t judge. Perhaps the brightly colored Santa’s Wonderland from Pragmatic Play, or potentially perennial favorite, Penguins Christmas Party Time from Reel Kingdom.

Santa’s Got a Brand New Bag

If we’ve learned nothing else from Santa, it’s that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to sleigh through the holidays, and while innovative certainly isn’t the adverb we would say hoose, it is fun, fast and full of that mischievous energy that defines a good Hacksaw slot.

Whether you came for the jackpots or just to spend Christmas with Smokey, this is one present worth unwrapping.
