Xmas Drop review: the RIP City engine with Wild Santas, 200x gifts and a 12,500x cap

Xmas Drop is Hacksaw’s Christmas slot, and it runs on the same figures as RIP City. You get a 5x5 grid, 19 paylines, a 12,500x cap and 3/5 volatility. The standard RTP is 96.22%, with 94.27%, 92.32% and 88.02% versions.

How Xmas Drop pays

Wild Santas expand down their reel when they can finish a win. A Wild Gift under an expanding Santa turns into a 2x to 200x multiplier for the whole reel. Multiplied Santas on the same line add up before the win.

Xmas Drop bonus games

Night Before Xmas (3 FS) gives 10 free spins with more Santas and Gifts. Four scatters inside it move you up to Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, with at least 10 spins left.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (4 FS from the base game) works like the Maxx Bonus in RIP City. Any reel that lands a Wild Santa keeps landing one for the rest of the round. Fill all five reels and every spin lands five Santas.

You can buy either bonus, or run BonusHunt FeatureSpins at 96.44%, the best-paying option. Two and Three Wild Santas FeatureSpins guarantee Santas on every spin.

Xmas Drop or RIP City

Pick by theme. RIP City has the same lines, multipliers, cap, RTP versions and buy RTPs, with a cat and a mouse in place of Santa.
