Fat Santa is Push Gaming’s Christmas-themed reworking of Fat Rabbit, released in November 2018 on the same 5×5, 50-payline structure with a 96.45% RTP and medium-high volatility. It swaps the farm setting for a festive one, keeping Fat Rabbit’s expanding-wild-with-stacking-multiplier mechanic intact under a Fat Santa wild instead.
Fat Santa isn’t available for real-money play at either of our linked casinos (Sloto Cash or Fair Go, both RTG-powered) — Push Gaming is a UK/Malta-regulated studio and doesn’t license its titles to RTG-style offshore casinos. Try Sloto Cash instead for a working real-money slots option, or play Fat Santa in demo mode on Push Gaming’s own site.

Push Gaming released Fat Santa in November 2018, timed for the holiday season and built directly on top of the paytable and feature structure it had launched with Fat Rabbit earlier that same year. Reusing a proven mathematical model under a new seasonal skin is common practice across the slot industry, and Fat Santa is one of the clearer examples of it in Push Gaming’s catalogue — the two games share their grid size, payline count, and core wild mechanic almost exactly. Push Gaming has continued the practice of building seasonal variants on proven mechanics in the years since, and Fat Santa is one of the earliest and most direct examples in the studio’s own catalogue — a template it would return to again with later holiday-themed releases built on other base games.
Fat Santa plays across a 5×5 grid with 50 fixed paylines. The Fat Santa symbol is an expanding wild: when it lands, it grows to fill its entire reel, and a multiplier is applied to the win based on how many Fat Santa symbols expand across the grid in that spin. Landing enough scatter symbols triggers the free spins round, during which the same expanding-wild multiplier mechanic carries over and can stack considerably higher, since multiple expanded Santa wilds across several reels in one spin compound the multiplier applied to the round’s total win — functionally identical to Fat Rabbit’s Harvest Feature under a different name and visual theme.
Pros
- Expanding Fat Santa wild with a stacking multiplier gives the base game real upside outside the bonus round
- 50 fixed paylines make wins easy to read compared with cluster-pays alternatives
- Free spins round meaningfully amplifies the wild’s multiplier mechanic, same as in Fat Rabbit
- 96.45% RTP is solidly above the online-slot average
- Festive theme and soundtrack make it a natural seasonal pick without changing the mechanics players already know
Cons
- Mechanically almost identical to Fat Rabbit, so it can feel repetitive if you’ve played both
- Medium-high volatility means the multiplier mechanic needs multiple wilds to land before it pays off big
- 10,223× max win, while solid, is well below Push Gaming’s higher-ceiling titles like Big Bamboo or Razor Shark
- As a seasonal-themed release, it’s less commonly featured on casino homepages outside the winter months
