Jolly Santa is available thanks to Endorphinaβs efforts. Itβs a fruit slot that has that Christmas inspiration, which makes it a more appropriate option for the holidays, but it keeps its retro side as well. The game area shows the same thing, spinning 3×3 reels while wins may come via 5 active paylines.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A slot with medium volatility. Wins are less frequent, but more often of higher value. The game is less stable and you can expect longer periods without winning, suitable for players who can tolerate higher risk and are more after bigger wins. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
The basis for this 3-reel slot machine is a land-based machine with fruit symbols. The Christmas connection comes from Joker Girl (the Jolly Santa), who sits at the top of the reels, with tree decorations and firecrackers lit up right next to her. Other than that, you can get a couple of coins, one of which features the Jolly Santa character, but the vast majority of the symbols are simple fruits and other classics. Itβs a dated look as well, as itβs going for the classic land-based machine image.
Jolly Santa theme and symbols
Jolly Santa plays out via 3×3 reels with only 5 paylines, and itβs going to be a slot where itβs tough to get a big win or to make a profit. Its volatility is Medium-High, so while not going to extreme levels, itβs not the most player-friendly Endorphina slot, either. It might be safer for you to check out the demo slot first, but if you play the regular version, you will get a shot at its 2,500x top prize. Despite its riskier areas, it has a 96.06% RTP that most would likely be happy with.

WILD symbol
The wild symbol has the image of the Triple Red Sevens on it. The most common way to use it is in the role of the substitute, since it can help even if it lands only once or twice on a payline. However, if you can get it to take over all 3 positions of a line, it will create its own winning combo, paying the most out of all possible combinations (50x the stake).
Gold Coin symbol
A Gold Coin is a type of symbol that you get on reels 1 and 3. They carry regular prizes ranging from 1x to 15x the stake, or one of the four fixed jackpots: 25x Min Jackpot, 50x Mid Jackpot, 150x Max Jackpot, or 1,000x Ultra Jackpot.
Jolly's Coin symbol
There is also the Jollyβs Coins, which are symbols that show up on the 2nd reel. These are used as collectors, so they donβt come in with their own prizes.
Crazy XMAS Bonus Game
To gain access to the Crazy XMAS bonus game, you need Coins on all three reels at the same time. If you get them only on 1-2 reels, you may randomly get help from the Lucky Time feature for the rest of the required symbols. You play the bonus game with the 2nd reel using sticky Jollyβs Coins. Reels 1 and 3 keep respinning and bringing new Gold Coins with prizes, which the Jollyβs Coins will collect for you. Each prize can be paid multiple times if there are 2-3 Jollyβs Coins on the 2nd reel. You get 3 respins initially, but you can get more as new Coins land.
Risk Game (Gamble)
Slots from Endorphina all come with the option to gamble winnings. The option becomes available at the end of a winning spin, and itβs up to you if you want to take it. If you gamble your winnings, you can either double the prize or lose it. To win the feature, you need to get a higher card than the one that the dealer gets.

Our rating of the game
Jolly Santa
Itβs not a very original slot machine to play, particularly if youβre looking for something thatβs Christmas-themed. Jolly Santa doesnβt deliver enough of that, with only a couple of decorations and no traditional holiday symbols present. It has medium to high volatility, pays up to 2,500x the stake, and its RTP is at 96.06%, so the math doesnβt make it look too attractive, either. You do get a modern feature with those respins in a classic-looking package, so that might be interesting to some players.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
There is a healthy RTP here, at 96.06%, so over a long period of time, it pays a fair amount back.
Wild symbols can show up to either act as replacements or to form their own high-value combinations.
The Crazy XMAS bonus game uses respins where you can collect prizes from Gold Coins.
All winning combinations can pay 1x or more, so the roundβs wager is covered if you get a win.
The fact that itβs not a simple fruit-themed slot is a plus, with the Jolly Santa being its lead character.
Cons
Medium to high volatility is expected in this game, so you will find that it doesnβt pay easily.
Pays up to 2,500x the roundβs stake, which is not a very impressive top prize.
Dated graphics, though thatβs expected when youβre dealing with a classic slot.
