Rudolph Awakens Slots
He's the most famous of all Santa's reindeer, and rightly so with that nose. However, if you're expecting the usual snowy, fluffy, and formulaic Christmas slot game here, think again. We are about to guide you through our review of Rudolph Awakens, and we don't think he's had a good night…
Who is behind this entertaining game?
This one is part of the ever-growing collection spotted at Realtime Gaming - or RTG if you want to stick to their initials.
Make sure you check the demo for size first
RTG always delivers a solid demo game, so it makes sense to use it as your starting point for discovering more about the game.
Let's tell you more about the theme
The game offers a festive setting, of course, but in this case, we have some twists and turns to contend with. It's Christmassy, for sure, but not in the way you'd imagine.
A chilly design
Expect a trip to the North Pole for this one. Lots of snow, penguins, elves, and many other trappings of the festive season. We do have the usual crop of royals for the cheaper symbols, but they're made from wood.
Are you ready to play Rudolph Awakens?
The game has five reels, so that's familiar enough. You won't see any progressive prizes in play though. Rudolph is the wild symbol, appearing on reels two, three, and four. This comes with a nudge feature on the second and fourth reels, which means that if it appears on one, it could nudge up or down, allowing Rudolph to appear across the entire reel.
How many lines can you place bets on?
There are 30 paylines here, so a decent quantity to cover when you play Rudolph Awakens.
Placing bets on this slot game
You can play this one with a penny per line if you like, giving you a 30-cent bet for the entire game. There are other values too, of course, so if you'd like to go for a higher bet, you can do so.
What did we make of the paytable in this game?
It is neatly arranged and easy to look through before you begin. You'll then see which icons are worth the best prizes too.
Bonus features don't feature though
This may surprise you, but we do have lots more to tell you about the game yet.
Free spins featuring in the Rudolph Awakens slot game
Can you spot a full stack of Rudolph wild symbols on the middle reel? If so, you're going to play 10 free spins with the middle stack of wilds frozen in position. The nudge element we mentioned earlier comes into play here as well.
Whenever you find a wild on the second or fourth reels, those also freeze where they land. They remain there for however many spins you've got left, so there is a chance that you could play some spins with multiple wilds involved. The one thing you won't want to see is an elf because one of these characters is powerful enough to free Rudolph.
That said, there is another symbol in action in these spins, and it is the EXTRA GAMES symbol. If you spot one on reels one and five simultaneously, you'll receive three more freebies to play.
RTP details
If you're familiar with RTG slots, you might guess this detail is always left out of their games.
Our rating is an excellent one
We're going as high as 9/10 with this one.
Scoop up to 50,000x your wager
We're unsure whether that's possible on a single spin, but that's the info given along with the game anyway.
Play the practice version for an awesome time
You'll get a better idea of the nudges, the wilds, and the free spins too if you play long enough to get there in the demo game.
Play for real if you like the game
We loved it, and it certainly makes a change from the typical Christmas fare you see at this time of year.
Expect an equally good experience if you play on mobile as well
If you want to relax away from your computer this festive season (or any other time of the year), you can do so with the mobile version of Rudolph Awakens on iOS or Android.
