About Visitors Slot
There are a few developers whose games we love to review since we never know what to anticipate in the wacky world of online slots. Thunderkick and Yggdrasil, for example, are known for their crazy themes and tales, which are combined with creative gameplay and features. ELK, whose genuinely wacky back library includes games like the heist-themed Lake’s Five, the crazy jungle-themed Platooners, and the brilliant Gold-series featuring the intrepid Kane, is another member of that group. ELK never fails to impress us with its visual appeal and entertainment value. And it appears that they’ve done it again with Visitors, a bizarre extraterrestrial invasion slot.
The story is set in a small town in America’s Midwest (most likely) – the kind of location where extraterrestrial abductions are common! It has 5 reels and 3,125 pay lines, as well as growing symbols.
When luck is on your side, wilds, multiplier re-spins, sticky wilds, and free spins with multipliers can all help you generate potentially dramatic win sequences.
Paytables and Theme Symbols
This slot’s unusual cartoon images are eye-catching, representing a pastoral idyll ready to be destroyed by some bizarre appearing beings from a distant galaxy. There are five reels and five rows in play at all times, as well as a 3,125 payline that is activated when three or more identical symbols appear on the same spin. The cards 10 through Ace make up the low-value symbols, whereas coloured houses make up the premiums. The red home is the highest paying symbol, paying 15 times for five matching symbols.
Look out for the blazing wild, which substitutes for all other symbols to form win lines, as well as the re-spins alien symbols and alien spacecraft, which are required to access the bonus features. I’ll get to that in a minute.
Stake Limits, RTP, Variance, and Payouts
ELK Studios has already released a few great high variance products, however this one doesn’t quite reach the dizzying heights of other slots now available. Instead, it falls somewhere between medium and high volatility, making it unsuitable for novice gamers. It’s still a tough nut to crack, but not on the same level as the top Megaways. The RTP is a respectable 96.1 percent, with a maximum payout of 10,000x. Of course, no player will ever come close to that figure, but it gives you an idea of what may be accomplished if the gods are on your side!
Features and Gameplay
Visitors Slot has a wonderful variety of features to keep things interesting, and it’s uncommon to see a dry run of several games before something happens. ELK has cleverly combined the popular multiplier and free spins features, as well as growing symbols. This is how it works:
Respins
Alien re-spins symbols are available in three different colours: green, yellow, and pink. To activate these benefits, two must land on reels 1 and 5 at the same time:
Big o Beam — winning symbols extend to 2×2 or 3×3 and stay in place for a re-spin.
Up to 15x multipliers are added to re-spin winners in Abduction.
Alien Attack — re-spins with sticky wilds on the reels.
Bonus Spins
To activate the free spins round, you must land three alien spaceships. A new small reel set with 25 reels and only silver and gold spaceships is available to play. Players begin with 5 spins and can increase their total by one for each silver spaceship that lands. This also multiplies your current multiplied by two. The multipliers appear as a wall around the mini reel set, and if you land the rare golden spacecraft at any time, all multiplies will double.
You can keep increasing the multiplier until it reaches 4,096x, but you’ll need to land a lot of silver and gold spacecraft in a row to do so. If you can reach that peak, you’ll be able to claim the top prize of 10,000x.
Conclusion
This is a classic ELK Studios slot, full of excitement and ready to reward anyone courageous enough to take it on with big prizes. In the base game, the re-spins function keeps things interesting and can result in a fair win if you get lucky with the 15x multiplier. Then there’s the bonus round, where there’s a lot more to win. To achieve a significant win on silver and gold, you’ll need an extremely lucky streak, but it’s feasible. Above all, though, this is a fun slot that promises to be enjoyable to play. So have a good time while gambling responsibly.
