Learn the theme and the win rule first
On the reels, a 7x7 grid of Christmas and Winter symbols waits for the first spin. Five or more of the same symbol touching horizontally or vertically form a win. Those winning symbols vanish, the symbols above drop down to fill the gaps, and new symbols fall in from the top. This repeats until no further cluster forms. A single spin can carry several wins in a row.
Sticky Wild, Walking Wild and Wild Multiplier give the wild symbol its own behaviour. Money Collect, Moving Value Symbols and Symbol Spawner work alongside the cascade. Scatter, Retrigger and Free Spins form the bonus side of the game. Together they give each round more moving parts than a plain cluster game.

Five steps from your bet to a payout
Slotpalace lays out each step, so you know what each bet does before the reels move.
A$0.10 to A$100 range
The reels stay still until you set a bet from A$0.10 up to A$100. The paytable uses A$0.50, and a higher bet raises every payout in the same proportion.
Santa Hopper: how clusters form
Five or more matching symbols touching across or down win on the 7x7 grid. Winning symbols vanish, others drop, and new symbols cascade in until no win forms.
Tumble, Spawner and Money Collect
Wild, Sticky Wild, Walking Wild and Wild Multiplier symbols appear on the reels beside Tumble, Symbol Spawner and Money Collect.
Santa Hopper: the Bonus trigger
Free Spins start when the Bonus scatter symbol lands on the grid, and the Retrigger feature can extend them. How often that happens cannot be known before the first spin.
Santa Hopper: limit before spins
Each spin on the reels draws down your balance, so set a limit before the first spin. If play stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Start with the Santa Hopper demo, then decide
Worried that trying the game first will cost you money before you know how it plays?
Each spin in the demo costs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account with Slotpalace Casino and you must be 18 or older.
Play nowSanta Hopper outcomes stay open
Each spin on the 7x7 grid can bring the bonus round, yet nobody knows in advance how often that happens. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. A session with many spins can finish below its start, and a short one can finish above it.
The reels pay at one of the RTP versions listed for Santa Hopper, and only the game rules on Slotpalace Casino show which version runs on this site. Read those rules before you compare this slot with another one, because the RTP number is only the long-run average.
The reels can reach the maximum win of x10,000 the bet, but that ceiling comes very rarely. Nobody should count on it when setting a budget, because a win of that size is not something the game can promise.
