Elemento review

Theme and Storyline

This slot is themed around the elements and a variety of gems.

In a whimsical universe, players will find a variety of adorable characters peering out from their reels. The aesthetic will bring to mind ‘90s video games with a fantasy twist.

Players will enjoy the lighthearted setting and brightly hued symbols. The theme of this game is relatively simple, but nevertheless manages to be charming.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack is a cheery chiming tune that matches well with the quirky world. Players who would prefer to play without the extra stimulation have the option to mute the music.

The style of animation is simple and a little vintage. Players looking to be swept away by graphics will probably move on to a different game, but those in the mood for a classic vibe will not be disappointed.

The symbols range from cartoon gems to cute elemental creatures. With large eyes and little smiles, they seem to offer encouragement to the players. The gems themselves are not animated to look realistic, but still offer a splash of colour.

Behind the reels is a backdrop of cosmic blue that suggests players are in a fantasy galaxy. The reels are framed in gold, ensuring that they stand out as distinct.

Overall, the graphics of this game are pleasant and cute, though not particularly innovative.

Gameplay

Elemento is a nine reel, nine row slot.

The play area of this game is a 7x7 grid, while the top and bottom rows and left and right reels are the Element area. This area is only filled by Element Wild symbols and empty positions. Symbols in the Element area do not fall away during Cascades.

Wins are awarded for clusters of 5 or more matching symbols landing horizontally or vertically.

The Cascade feature means that regular symbols and Wild symbols that make up any cluster wins fall away, so that new symbols may fall into their positions. Cascades continue until no more there are no more Cluster wins.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols. Wild symbols may be placed on the reels by the Fire Wild symbol.

This game also has four Element Wild symbols that appear in the Element area of the reels. After players spin, 4 random Element Wilds will land in random positions, and each can act as a Wild symbol.

During the Cascade feature, the Element area rotates clockwise one position for every Cascade.

When an Element Wild becomes part of Cluster win, they become activated, which increases an Element meter by 1. These activated symbols can no longer be part of Cluster wins.

After no more Cluster wins or Cascades are possible, activated Wild symbols activate their corresponding special feature.

When a cluster win does not contain an Element Wild, there is a chance of spawning a randomly placed Element Wild.

When players activate one of each of the Element Wild symbols, the Free Spins feature will begin. Players will start with 5 free spins and one for each of the Element Wilds they have activated.

During the Free Spins feature, there is a multiplier. The multiplier starts at 1 and increases by 1 every time the player triggers a cascade.

Players can buy directly into the Free Spin feature.
