Christmas is usually a time filled with joy and happiness. However, in Christmas Krampus by Light & Wonder, we experience the darker side of the festive period, courtesy of a present thief.
Krampus is a Northern European folklore creature who visits children at Christmas time. Santa rewards good children with Christmas presents, but Krampus punishes children who haven’t been so good by stealing their gifts.
In this video slot game, the Krampus symbol takes the cash prizes from the present symbols. He also acts as a walking wild during free spins.
Here, we explain how the features work, the symbol payouts, and more. So, let’s find out what Krampus is up to this Christmas season and learn how to spin the reels at talkSPORT BET Online Casino.

The main paying symbols in this game are pretty jolly and reflect the joyous side of Christmas. The symbol that pays the most is the Krampus Christmas symbol.
Then comes a happy elf, a beautifully lit Christmas tree, a snowman, a candy cane, and some presents. The low-paying symbols are royals, A, K, Q, J, and 10. The scatter symbol is Krampus’s clawed hand. It can appear on any reel, but only during the base game.
The Krampus symbol only appears during free spins. It can appear on any reel. The symbol is wild and can be substituted for any other symbol. However, up to three Krampus symbols can appear on the reels simultaneously.
The present symbol can land during the base game and free spins. When it lands during free spins and Krampus symbols also land, the Krampus symbols will collect the cash value of the presents. The presents symbol can have multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 40x, or 50x.
The wild symbol can appear on any reel and substitutes for all symbols except the Krampus and scatter symbols. If one, two, or three consecutive Krampus symbols land on the reels with low-paying symbols, the highest-paying symbol will be paid out. If five consecutive wilds land, the highest-paying symbol will be paid.

The free spins round will be triggered when scatter symbols land. You’ll receive a different number of free spins depending on the number of scatter symbols that land, as follows:
When Krampus symbols land on the reels during free spins, they collect all adjacent cash prizes from the present symbols. Cash prizes can be collected by more than one Krampus symbol.
Once the cash prizes have been collected, the Krampus symbols move one place to the left, and the reels will re-spin. The re-spins will continue until all Krampus symbols have left the reels. The free spin count remains the same during re-spins.
The free spins round will end when no more free spins remain. Free spins can’t be retriggered.
It’s nice to think that the world is a safe, cheerful place, but unfortunately, that’s not always true. We all know that even a happy time like Christmas can have a dark side, as Christmas Krampus proves.
