Elven Gold Slot Review

Elven Gold Slot, Details & Wager Limits

The Elven Gold slot has 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines. Winners are created in the standard manner for a payline slot by landing 3 or more matching symbols or wilds from left to right on a payline, starting from reel 1.

You can join the Elves on their quest at stake levels of between 20p and £15 per spin. Click on the coin icon above the spin button to the right of the reels then choose from the 14 different stake options. To access the paytable, click on the … icon then choose the gold star. Payout amounts are shown in cash rather than coins and change as you adjust your bet level. It’s all nice and clear to follow.

The Elven Gold RTP is a solid 96.1% which is about average. The hit frequency rate of 36.17% means you’ll land a winning combination every 2.77 spins on average. This can fluctuate wildly over the short term though.

There might be a rather whimsical feel to the theme here but don’t let that trick you. This is an extremely volatile, high variance slot. The max win is 15,000 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio and Design Features – enter a magical forest

There’s a rather dark feel to the design in the Elven Gold slot. A mystical woodland at night forms the backdrop to the gold reels.  The simple visuals are complemented by a fantastical soundtrack that has a certain magical quality to it. It’s not the most polished slot you’ll see as far a design is concerned but it all works well enough.

On the reels you’ll see 4 blue and gold gemstone symbols alongside single, double and treble bar symbols. Any combination of 3 or more of the 3 different bars triggers a win. The elf woman is the most lucrative standard symbol. She can spin in stacks that are 1, 2, 3 or even 4 symbols high. Land 5 elf woman symbols on a payline for an award of 30 x your total stake.

That same top payout amount is also on offer from the gold W which is the game’s wild. This substitutes for everything apart from the scatter and free spin symbols. The gold owl icon is that scatter. Land 4 or more of these on the same spin and you’re guaranteed a cash prize.

Elven Gold is available to play on all devices including mobiles and tablets as well as desktop devices. The Elven Gold mobile slot plays smoothly enough. The design is solid and the gameplay is simple which is a good fit for small-screen play.

Elven Gold Bonus Features

With 3 bonus features, scatters are central to much of the best action in Elven Gold. They can deliver potentially massive prizes in their own right during the base game. Collect them during the free spins round for even more winning opportunities.

Scatters feature

Land 4 or more owl scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin and the Scatters feature is triggered. Here, you’re guaranteed to win a cash prize. The more owls on view, the bigger that prize will be. It ranges from 1 to 15,000 x your total stake:

4 scatters	1 x stake
5 scatters	5 x stake
6 scatters	15 x stake
7 scatters	25 x stake
8 scatters	50 x stake
9 scatters	100 x stake
10 scatters	250 x stake
11 scatters	1,500 x stake
12 scatters	15,000 x stake

Free Spins feature

Scatter symbols are also a key element of Elven Gold’s Free Spins feature. To trigger it, you’ll need to land the Free Spins bonus symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. You’ll start the round with 3 free spins. Instant of awarding instant cash prizes, any scatter symbols that land during the free spins are collected. Each scatter that lands also resets the number of free spins remaining to 3.

When you’ve used up all your free spins, the number of collected scatter symbols is added together. The prize awarded is the same as the amounts shown in the scatter prizes section above. For example, if you collected 5 scatter symbols during the free spins, you’d pocket a bonus prize of 5 x stake. These scatter payouts come on top of any standard payline wins that landed during the free spins.

Buy Free Spins feature

In some countries, players will have the opportunity to buy the Free Spins feature. For a fee of 50 x stake, you’re guaranteed to land the 3 Free Spins bonus symbols which activates the round. Known as the Buy Free Spins feature, it’s not available to UK players.

Elven Gold Review Summary – all about the owl scatters

There’s nothing too complicated on offer in the Elven Gold slot. That goes for both the rather functional design and the gameplay.

The variety of extras here isn’t massive but the scatters in both the base game and the free spins can deliver some large rewards, to the tune of 15,000 x your total stake. Tread carefully though as the variance here is extremely high.

Scatter rewards are a common feature in Just For The Win slots such as 9 Pots of Gold. If you’re not usually a fan of the theme, Elven Gold probably won’t win you over. If you like slots that come with a bit of fantasy, IGT’s Pixies of the Forest is worth a look.
