About Elements SLot
The machine has a standard structure: 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols. The number of active lines can not be changed, a total of combinations of 20 strips. On each line, you can put from 1 to 10 coins of 0.01-0.5 credit. The cost of rotation ranges from 0.2 to 100 credits.
Sequences are formed from the leftmost reel and must contain from 3 to 5 of the same symbol. RTP is declared at the level of 96.02%. There is no progressive jackpot.
The rules may seem complicated for newcomers, so it is recommended to start acquaintance with the game with a demo version. In this mode, users can play the slot machine Elements for free and without registration, for which they are allocated 5,000 credits.
The machine does not use the spinning reels in the classic sense: the reels are not scrolled and are filled with symbols that fall on top of each other, as in Gonzo’s Quest. As soon as the player collects a prize combination, it disappears from the field, making room for new icons. Respins continue as long as the field appears on the prize combos.
Symbols in Elements Slot
The reels of the slot are set against a bleak landscape, more reminiscent of the landscape of an uninhabited planet. The atmospheric picture reflects the natural elements: air (symbolized by mountain ranges), earth, fire, and water. The same four groups are divided into game symbols. The least valuable look just as elements of the element to which they belong, more expensive – as a creature born of the elements. In this respect, the slot is similar to Space War, where each low-paying symbol corresponds to one high-paying one.
The machine uses memorable special effects: each top-order pictogram has not only animation but also a unique voiceover. If you do not spin the drums for a long time, the creatures on the drums begin to move and make sounds. As for the music, it is reminiscent of the other video slot about space – Starburst.
Online slot Elements from NetEnt in the main game has a special symbol – a wild. Pictogram looks like a closed metal cube. It opens with a sound, if it becomes part of the prize combination. Wild appears on all reels except the first, so it does not participate in the formation of combos, but only replaces the standard icons in prize chains.
Elements Slot Bonus Game
The chances of the gambler to win a large sum of money increase after running a series of free spins, which here are called Free Falls. They are activated when the avalanche mode manages to collect at least 4 prize combinations in a row. Progress can be monitored on a scale located above the button to start the machine. If it lights up 4 elements, then after the cascade spins start free spins.
The main secrets of the machine are associated with free spins. They can take place in four different modes, each of which corresponds to one of the elements. The choice of a particular bonus depends on what combinations the gambler collected during the respins. The strongest element is displayed on the button to start the machine – during the respins it is divided into four parts. If two elements are highlighted on the key at once, the mode is chosen randomly. The number of free spins always remains the same – 10 free spins.
The draws take place against a unique backdrop of landscapes for each of the elements. At the same time, respins are still triggered when combos are formed. The rules of prize rounds are determined by the features of the wild, which is used.
Element of Fire (Fire Storm)
Fire wagons appear only on the second, third or fourth reel and can extend vertically or horizontally.
Element of Air (Air Storm)
In this mode at the beginning of the free spins two wilds appear on the reels, which remain on the field until the end of the series of free spins, but change position after each scroll.
Earth Storm
This kind of wild appears only on the central three reels and stays on the field until the complete prize combination or 3 combos in the cascade spins mode.
The Element of Water (Water Storm).
When it appears on the second, third, or fourth reel special character is expanding to the height of the reel, increasing the chances of the gambler winning.
Elements Slot Machine Interface
The slot machine interface does not differ from the control system of most modern slots by NetEnt. Bet adjusted by changing two indicators: the coin value (Coin Value) and the number of coins per line (Level). Max Bet button raises the line bet to 10 coins without changing the face value set by the user. There is also a key for starting the slot in automatic mode.
A brief description of the game with a payout table is called up by clicking on the icon with the letter i, and full rules can be downloaded by clicking on the question mark in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Conclusion
The video slot attracts slot machine fans by the presence of four original free spins and respin modes, which are triggered both in the main game and during the use of free spins. That is what makes gamblers still play Elements for money in online casinos, even though the release of the machine was back in 2012.
