With so many slot providers entering the market every year, finding worthwhile titles to play can sometimes be overwhelming. Luckily for you, that’s where we come in.
If you’re looking for incredible slots from innovative developers, look no further than the Tonybet games catalogue! More specifically, our selection of ELK games is second to none. ELK is a popular provider known for its unique and visually interesting games, and we’ve collected some of the best it has to offer for our players to enjoy.
Let’s take a closer look at ELK slots and why they’re so beloved by players around the world!
Hula Balua
The first slot we’ll take a look at in this article is Hula Balua. Hula Balua is one of ELK’s most aesthetically pleasing titles. The game transports players to a tropical paradise where they’re responsible for matching juicy fruit symbols and triggering bonus features. More specifically, Hula Balua takes place in Hawaii, and many of the game’s symbols and artwork relate to Hawaii in some way.
Hula Balua has an impeccable selection of bonus features. These include, but are certainly not limited to:
- Sticky Redrops
- Elmo Wild Drops
- Big Symbols and Multiplier
- Free Spins
Of these, the free spins round and sticky redrops are fan favourites. Landing between three and six bonus symbols triggers the free spins round, with anywhere from six to 12 spins awarded. The number of awarded spins depends on the number of bonus symbols on the board when the round began. This feature can retrigger on the same spin.
The sticky redrops feature selects one paying symbol at random and makes it (and every other copy on the board) sticky. The symbol is locked in place, and a redrop is awarded. Landing wilds or additional matching sticky symbols during the redrop triggers another redrop.
J-POP
You might see this slot’s title and assume that you’re in for a game punctuated with Japanese popular music. While that’s a reasonable guess, ELK’s J-POP slot actually features adorable creatures from Jellon. Jellon citizens have used Porta-loos to access Earth for centuries, apparently, whenever they are in need of resources for their mysterious rituals. The game features an appropriately bouncing soundtrack to keep players’ toes tapping from the first spin to the last.
Of course, J-POP truly shines when it comes to its bonus features. These include:
- Big Symbols
- Grid Flip Symbols
- Big Drop Symbols
- Free Spins
Both pay and wild symbols in J-POP can land as 1×1, 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 Big Symbol sizes. Empty spaces below these expanded icons are 1×1 symbols of the same kind – everything but walking wilds. Grid Flip symbols flip the grid so that columns one and six, two and five, and three and four switch places. Once the flip has completed, Grid Flip symbols turn into wilds.
Big Drop symbols trigger a big symbol drop. These crush any 1×1 paying symbols as they fall, turning them into wilds. If both Big Drop and Grid Flip symbols are on the board, the latter triggers first, and then the Big Drop begins. Finally, the free spins round is triggered by landing between three and six scatters on the board, awarding between 10 and 20 free spins.
Slurpy
Slurpy takes place in what appears to be a cluttered but aesthetically pleasing kitchen. The grid itself is incredibly unique, featuring up to six Slurpie collectors at the top, all of them holding straws. There is a mini reel above the characters, with the rest of the grid resting beneath the figures. As you might expect, Slurpy is a slot that involves a lot of symbol collection.
Note that Slurpy does not feature traditional paylines, scatter pays or cluster pays mechanics. Pay symbols collected by one of the two Slurpy characters pay out instantly. Winning combinations range from one to three symbols to 40+ symbols!
Beyond symbol collection, Slurpy has just a few features to keep in mind. These include:
- Second Chances
- Expanding Grid
- Revolving Collectors
- Free Spins
Of these, the free spins round and expanding grid are fan favourites. The free spins (or free drops) round is triggered by landing three scatter symbols on the grid at any one time. Five free drops are awarded at the top of the round. Additional drops can be awarded during the round.
The expanding grid mechanic allows players to add reels to the grid in three levels. The first tier is 5×5, the second is 6×6, and the third is 7×7. This feature is triggered by clearing all pay symbols from the reels.
Mine Defender
If you’ve ever wanted to journey deep into the Earth in search of glimmering gems and glittering gold, ELK’s Mine Defender might be exactly what you’re looking for. This surprisingly in-depth game blends traditional and stereotypical mining game mechanics with a modern twist. Instead of following a grizzled old miner into the shafts, players find themselves embroiled in a battle between man and robot. Spinning the reels triggers enemy attacks, and players must hit all of the invaders before they breach the mine entirely (think Space Invaders).
Playing Mine Defender is a unique experience, and there are many bonus features that contribute to the unparalleled atmosphere:
- Hero Drops
- Feature Symbols
- Mini Bosses
- Mass Attack
- Final Boss
As you can see, there’s a lot more to this slot than initially meets the eye. Of the features above, the most complex are the Hero drops and feature symbols. The Hero drops give the Hero a chance to kill all of the invaders, and the Hero can also be impacted by feature symbols. These include:
- Life
- Shot
- Spread
- Bonus Scatter Coin
- Multipliers
- Mystery
- Airstrike
- Laser
- Pushback
- Bombs
Some of these feature symbols can also trigger win multipliers and other bonuses.
Deadeye
Deadeye is one of ELK’s most successful forays into the Wild West genre. The slot takes place in a pleasant enough makeshift town, clearly thrown up as settlers in search of gold flooded the area. The grid serves as a noticeboard, complete with rusty trappings, and a lovely blue sky sits over all of it. Of course, as you might expect, all is not as it seems. The whole place goes up in flames when some of the bonus rounds trigger, and players must wage war against bandits to save the city.
Some of the best bonus features in Deadeye include the following:
- Shots Fired
- Duel
- Free Spins
The latter two are fan favourites. The duel mechanic begins when two saloon doors land on the middle two reels (max is one per reel). Characters that survive the duel expand into 2×3 symbols and keep any multipliers they gained during the duel itself.
The free spins round in Deadeye begins when players land three or more scatter symbols on the grid at any one time. Each scatter contains between zero and two bullets, and when the bonus round is triggered, all of the bullets are collected. They are also collected when scatters land during the bonus round itself. Six or more bullets add one free spin to the counter.
