Getting Started with Rudolph Awakens Slot

Rudolph has returned! And it looks like this time he is done with being the nice hero and is looking to play hardball and take back some of the glory for making Christmas possible each year. In channeling his inner ‘bad Santa’, Rudolph has awakened with a vengeance against his former friend, enlisting help from the elves who have also had enough and decided to try ruin Christmas.

This five-reel slot from developers RealTime Gaming features up to 30 ways to win and is the perfect present for players who love to proc a stocking full of free spins. This game is centered around free spins features and sticky expanding wilds, pull off Rudolph’s revenge, and you could be in for a big bonus.

If we’ve piqued your interest and you want to not only save Christmas but also to score free spins and casino bonuses, check out the MobileCasinoParty Rudolph Awakens slot review, where we have pulled in the reins and detailed just what you need to get the big present from under this RealTime Gaming slot tree.

How the Game is Designed

Think the North Pole, with a hint of explosive weaponry and bad attitudes. Picture that, and you’ll have what the epitome of the Rudolph Awakens slot is.

We loved this take on Christmas slots (there was an older release of this at one point) as typically, they feature the warm and cozy side of the holidays. In contrast, Rudolph Awakens has thrown everything out of the sleigh and been designed with the woke side of someone who is underappreciated in the world of Christmas – Rudolph.

Symbols to look out for in this slot include:

• Santa holding a gun
• Penguin strapped to a rocket
• Evil cigar-smoking, flamethrower-toting, Christmas-ruining elf
• Mrs Claus (or maybe it’s her much younger sister?)
• Ace, king, queen, jack, ten, and nine
• The ice present wins extra games in the feature (with a question mark inside the present)

When it comes to the look and feel of this slot, expect quality and a busy screen! A lot is going on here, but this isn’t a bad thing. No, see, there is a lot of animation behind this slot, whether it is every symbol has its animation when landing a win, or the frozen Rudolph feature itself.

Even the background design has plenty of visual effects going on with the screen changing during free spins, and an elf appearing from a hidden hatch and using his flamethrower to melt a frozen Rudolph.

Slot Game Sounds and Music

Yep, you guessed it, the music and sounds are all Christmas-y! Now, this theme will hinge on whether you enjoy this time of year or not; the background music is a soft instrumental of jingle bells.

Sound effects are all over the place, with each winning symbol having its specific sound:

• Rudolph swings his bat around and lets off fireworks
• Santa shoots his machine gun
• The card suits get bullet holes shot in them
• The elf has fire
• The penguin’s rocket launches
• Mrs Claus blows a kiss
• Fireworks shoot across the winning pay lines too

The free games have a wartime theme playing, which compliments the desolate battlefield background that swaps in during the free spins feature.

Special Features

There is just the one special feature in Rudolph Awakens, and it revolves around the wild symbol for Rudolph himself. All you need to do to unlock the special feature – which is ten free games, is to land Rudolph on reel three.

Overall, this wild can be found on reels two, three, and four, and will substitute for all symbols except the extra games. 

If you land Rudolph on reels two or four in the regular game, he will nudge and expand to cover the entire reel. However, in the free games, Rudolph will nudge on reels two, three, and four.

Three bonus spins can be earned if the ‘extra games’ symbol (ice present with a question mark inside) appears on both reels one and five.

What makes this free spins feature a little different is that Rudolph will remain frozen throughout the free games, therefore providing the benefits of the wild up until he is thawed out and removed. There is a random chance of the elf melting the ice after each spin, so luck must be on your side to keep Rudolph around.
