Man vs Gator review

Theme and Style

Man vs Gator is an Alligator and Florida-themed slot from ELK Studios. The game is centered around a battle between a Florida man and an Alligator.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The Man vs. Gator slot has a brilliant design. The game is set in an unnamed Floridian location, with pastel colors lighting up the night’s sky and giving it a really cool, 1980s-style vibe. A relaxing soundtrack plays in the background, further setting the tone for the game’s atmosphere and overall vibe.

The reels are brought to life with cartoonish alligator symbols, with the titular man also appearing as an extended symbol with fun animations.

ELK Studios is a company you can always rely on to deliver a memorable design, and they have done it again with Man vs Gator.

Gameplay

Man vs Gator uses a 5x5 game grid with 259 connecting paylines active on every spin. Wins must start on the leftmost reel and connect across consecutive reels. You can check the value of symbols by clicking the burger menu and opening the paytable.

The spin button is located to the right of the game grid, and you will also find the game’s autoplay option there.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

There is a big selection of Wild-focused bonus features in the Man vs Gator online slot.

Stacked Man vs Gator Wild symbols can land on any spin and will display two Multipliers, one related to each character. These will nudge their way onto the screen to cover the entire reel. One of the Multipliers is then selected as the winner and is applied to the Wild. A respin is also triggered, with all individual Man and Gator Wilds sticking to the grid.

Speaking of Man and Gator Wilds, when they land, they can either nudge up or down, award a respin for every nudge until they have left the screen. Each nudge up from the Man, or down from the Gator, increases its respective Multiplier by one.

Three or more of the Bonus symbols will trigger the game’s Free Spins bonus with five spins. If four or five Bonus symbols trigger the feature, then you are given one or two Man vs Gator Wilds on the first spin, respectively.

During the round, all Man vs Gator symbols are sticky, and respins can be triggered. It is possible to retrigger extra spins during the round.

Like all ELK Studio slots, the game has the X-iter Buy Bonus feature. This allows players to buy their way into the bonus rounds for pre-determined prices.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The Man vs Gator RTP has a lot to offer, but a poor math model lets it down. The slot has an RTP of 94%, which falls short of our yardstick of 96% set out in our slot strategy guide. The game is considered highly volatile and has a maximum win of 10,000x your stake.

Conclusion

Man vs Gator is a brilliant slot that is let down by a disappointing RTP of 94%. If, however, you can overlook this, there is a lot to like about the slot. The design is fantastic, the gameplay is engaging, and the 10,000x maximum win gets a big thumbs up from us.
