Alkemor’s Elements Slot Review
I like downing a few bottles of fermented hops, malt, barley, yeast, and water on a weekend. That’s a mouthful to say each time we’re talking about the intoxicating stuff so thank you, alchemists, for introducing words to the English language that make our lives easier.
That’s right. European alchemists had to rely on translations from Greek and Arabic back in the day, which led to an influx of new words such as “alcohol” and “elixir”.
Our resident quasi-scientist has been hard at work in his spooky “laboratory” for a while so let’s see what Betsoft Gaming has come up with for Alkemor’s Elements slot.
Gameplay
Alkemor’s Elements slot looks like a magical place to spend time. Well, it should be considering the bottles of potions, crystal balls, spell books, and other enchanting paraphernalia we can see on the reels.
The grid is made up of 5x4 reels and to the right, above the SPIN button, are the 4 elements – fire, water, air, and earth – but more on that below.
Things look okay on a phone albeit that the scene’s rather dark and there’s quite a bit going on around the reels, which can be distracting.
This medium-volatility game packs an RTP of 95.45% and a maximum win potential of €120,000. That’s not the highest, but certainly far from the lowest prize I’ve seen, so I wouldn’t complain in the slightest if I bagged that.
Features
Alkemor’s Elements slot is played in rounds of 10 spins and the term “elements” in the title hints at something more. It references the Elemental Wilds (fire, water, air, and earth) that you’ll see on the reels, and that you collect on the progress bar I mentioned earlier.
In theory, you can collect up to 5 Wilds of each element within each 10-spin session.
ELEMENTAL WILD SPIN:
Following your 10 spins, there are 2 possible outcomes – as long as you’ve scooped up at least 1 Elemental Wild during this time:
Outcome 1: If you collected more of 1 of the Elemental Wilds than any other
You’ll be awarded the same number of Free (Elemental Wild) Spins as that element.
EG: 4 earth Element Wilds = 4 Free Spins.
Outcome 2: If you collect 2 or more Elemental Wilds of different types
You’ll be awarded the same number of Free Spins as either of these elements.
EG: 2 earth and 2 water Elemental Wilds = 2 Free Spins with either water or earth Elemental Spells.
ELEMENTAL SPELLS:
Fire:
On every spin, 1-4 reels are chosen randomly and all symbols on those reels will be replaced with fire elements.
Water / Air:
Also on each spin, 4-6 water/air element symbols will be placed randomly on the reels.
In addition, 4 or 5 of these symbols will spread across another position (moving first right, and then left).
Earth:
When it comes to Earth, 6 - 10 of these elements will find a random home on the reels during each spin.
FREE SPINS:
You’ll be granted Free Spins when you collect the requisite number of key Scatters:
3 Scatters = 8 Free Spins
4 Scatters = 10 Free Spins
5 Scatters = 12 Free Spins
Each Free Spin is powered by one of the elements, but Free Spins can’t be re-triggered while that round is underway.
BUY FEATURE:
If you want to fast-track your ass to the Free Spins round (where you’ll get 12 spins), and where Elemental Spells are guaranteed, then it’s gonna cost ya.
Click on the Buy Feature and toggle the gizmo to select your price per spin, and the overall price. If you’re happy, click BUY and away you go!
Performance
This ain’t BetSoft’s first rodeo and it shows. The gameplay was smooth and consistent across all my devices and browsers.
Maximum Win
You’ll need to set your bets to €100 a pop to clinch the max win of €120,000 (which comes courtesy of the 1,200x multiplier). Go on, you can do it!
Conclusion
Alkemor’s Elements slot follows in the footsteps of Alkemor’s Tower slot and it’s from its predecessor that the new game borrows the whole Elemental Spells vibe.
Ironically, the OG version’s controls look way better – they’ve been designed to fit in with the rest of the aesthetic whereas it’s almost like they forgot about that with our latest version.
The RTP and max win have been improved, but the paylines have gone from 243 on the first version, to 25 on this one.
As for judging Alkemor’s Elements slot on its own basis, I’d say that it’s a decent game. Nothing earth-shattering but nothing terrible either. If you liked its predecessor, then it would be worth giving this one a go.
