Santa's Workshop

Santa's Workshop Overview

Santa's Workshop is a Christmas slot from Triple Cherry, released on 20 November 2023. The reels stand inside Santa's toy factory: a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines, a toy train running underneath, and a glowing block machine above. SlotCatalog lists a 94.18% RTP (the game comes in several RTP versions), medium volatility and a maximum win of 432x the stake, with bets from 0.50 to 50.

Walking Elf Wilds

The signature feature is the little train of wilds. Below the reels runs a rail, and on it ride wooden carts, each carrying an elf toy marked WILD. The carts move along the track from spin to spin, so a wild that lands under one reel travels to the next one and eventually rolls off the edge of the screen. In our screenshots several elf wilds were on the move at the same time – one had already reached the far right of the track while others were still under the middle reels.

Because the carts move instead of disappearing, a single wild can contribute to wins over several consecutive spins, which is how the game builds value without large paytable numbers.

The Block Machine and the Gift Grid

Above the reels stands a red machine with loudspeakers and a small display made of lit blocks, in the style of a falling-block puzzle game. The same idea appears in the bonus: a grid of eighteen wrapped presents in three rows, with golden block pieces lighting up inside some of them. In our screenshot four pieces had been revealed. The same kind of block pieces appear on the display above the reels during play, so the machine on top and the gift grid clearly belong to the same feature.

Santa Mail

Another stage of the bonus is Santa Mail: a red postbox with four envelopes. You pick one, and the envelope opens to show a number – in our round it revealed a 4. The screen does not spell out what the number counts, but the pick is one of the steps that shapes the rest of the bonus.

What Our Bonus Round Paid

We played the bonus at a €15 stake, and the running PRIZE counter in the corner let us follow it:

• After the first spins the prize stood at €148.50.
• A spin with several elf wilds lined up paid €135, and the prize counter moved to €435.
• The last spin brought a reindeer BIG WIN of €159 – about 10.6x – and the final prize reached €480, which is 32x the stake.

In the winning spins we captured, elf wilds on the rail sat under the reels that formed the win – a good illustration of how much the round depends on where the carts happen to be.

Buying the Bonus

The green BONUS button opens the Free Spins Phase panel, described in the game as “immediate access to the BONUS feature”. At a €15 bet the price was €1,111.50, which works out at about 74x the stake. The panel lets you change the bet before confirming, and pressing START deducts the full price from the balance.

Base Game Wins

At a €10 bet, four candy canes across the middle of the reels paid €15.00 (1.5x). The paytable mixes toys and sweets – drums, rocking horses, lollipops, wrapped candies and candy canes – with card letters A, K, Q and J. A present marked BONUS appears on the reels as the symbol that leads into the feature.

Two Prize Counters

During the bonus the game shows two different running totals, which is worth knowing when you watch a round. The PRIZE figure in the bottom-left corner is the total for the whole feature so far. A second TOTAL PRIZE box under the reels shows the value built up in the current sequence. In our round the corner counter read €435 at a moment when the box under the reels showed €300, so the corner figure is the one to follow if you want to know what the bonus has paid overall.

Controls

The control bar is simple and colourful: the green BONUS button for the buy, an autoplay button, a large red spin button, a MAX button that jumps to the highest bet, and a blue BET panel with plus and minus buttons. The bet and the balance are repeated in the thin status line at the very bottom of the screen, together with the current prize.

Graphics and Setting

The workshop is warm and cartoonish: wooden floorboards, strings of lights, a staircase, a decorated tree in the corner and blue stars hanging from the ceiling. The reels are framed in cool blue light, and winning symbols glow gold. Wins are announced with a reindeer in a wreath and a candy-cane banner.

The Numbers in Context

With a 94.18% RTP and a 432x ceiling, Santa's Workshop is a gentle, medium-volatility game rather than a big-win hunter. The top prize at the 50 maximum bet is 21,600, and at the €15 stake we used it is €6,480. The appeal is the steady rhythm of the walking wilds and the multi-stage bonus, not a single huge hit.

Who It Is For

Santa's Workshop suits players who enjoy seasonal slots with a playful theme and a feature that develops over several spins. The walking elf wilds keep the base game moving, the Santa Mail pick adds a small decision, and the bonus buy is there for anyone who wants to skip straight to the feature.

Where to Play Santa's Workshop

You can try this game on MrJones Online Casino. There’s a unique casino bonus offer of 300% up to £1200 for a limited time.

Triple Cherry's Santa's Workshop was not available at any of our six partner casinos when we checked on 25 September 2026 – the casinos list a different game of the same name from Eurasian Gaming – so the casino above is a general recommendation. Christmas titles are also often switched off outside the festive season.
