About Elemento Slot
Elemento video slot is definitely inspired by its accomplished predecessors launched by Play’n Go, Reactoonz and Gemix2. The novice Swedish software provider has made a cluster pays game that features a 9×9 layout, Element Wilds, an Avalanche Feature, Multipliers and a Free Spins Round. Add colorful visuals and a pumping musical score and you’ll be relishing the gameplay for sure.
Upon selecting the Bet size that spans between 20p and £60, you can tap the Spin button to get the game going. For the game to continue automatically, activate Autoplay. Payouts are issued whenever clusters of 5 or more identical symbols land on connected positions.
RTP, Variance and Top Payout
The RTP in Elemento stands at 96.33%, a return that has become somewhat of a standard. However, if you opt for the Feature Buy, you will be looking at an excellent RTP of 97.94%. As the volatility is rather high, you could be in for uneventful periods that can suddenly be interrupted with successive and massive wins. The maximum payout can reach values of up to 16,000x your stake.
Symbols and Paytable
 Since there are no reels, nor paylines, we will be facing a 7×7 grid on which icons fall down and award prizes each time 5 or more of a kind appear on connected spaces. The outer part of the game is reserved for Element Wilds only, but more on that later on. Four Gems of different colors are lower value icons, while four Characters represent premium symbols paying out between 6x and 20x the bet for clusters of 15 or more.
Wild does make a difference in the game by substituting other symbols, but it is brought into play merely during Features.
Gameplay and Features
Though the base game can be lagging, once you’re on a winning strike, it will all get a bit more exciting. The Avalanche Feature certainly contributes, because of the symbols that begin vanishing and cascading. What’s more, the Wild Elemento and Free Spins Bonuses hold a great winning potential, eventually making up for all deficiencies.
The Avalanche Feature
Every time symbols land in such a way that a win is formed, they vanish from the grid and an Avalanche is initiated. New icons trickle down to possibly create new winning combinations and the process continues for as long as clusters of matching symbols appear.
Wild Elemento Feature
Each win containing an Element Wild can produce up to 4 Element Wilds that are placed on the outer rim of the layout. While there are winning clusters these Wilds move clockwise and get triggered to bring you lucrative benefits.
Fire Wild adds from 2 to 10 Wilds, Demolition destroys all instances of one randomly chosen low-value symbol. X Flood marks 9 symbols forming an X and turns them into matching ones, while Tornado picks 9 adjacent icons transforming them into identical ones or removing them from view.
The Free Spins Feature
Managing to activate all four Elements, Fire, Water, Air and Earth, opens the Free Spins Round. Throughout this Bonus every win causes an increase in the Multiplier that can grow to values of up to 99x. Should you be fortunate enough to obtain 4 more Elements, the feature will be re-triggered.
When unlocked, the feature yields 5 initial freebies, the number of which is then increased with the number of Elemental Wilds collected during main game.
Our Verdict
Forces of nature can be unpredictable and uncontrollable, and Fantasma Games has made a good point of it, as payouts going as high as 16,000x can arrive pretty unexpectedly and cut the ground from underneath your feet.
The large grid providing cluster pays stands on the plus side for this game. Though it resembles some of the games we’re familiar with, Elemento stands out with its Wild Elemento Feature that proves to be unique and quite rewarding as it can put a bunch of modifiers onto the grid.
