Elemento

Although not yet one of the main developers on the market, the Swedish-based Fantasma Games team surely knows how to create an online slot machine featuring stunning graphics and a completely innovative grid debuting in this particular online title!

Elemento is an Alchemy-themed online game built around the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water, boasting the dev's first grid slot featuring the Avalanche system!

Use Random Wilds, Expanding Wilds, Free Spins, and Multipliers and get a chance of winning up to 16000x the stake! 

Theme and Symbols

This online title is based on four classical elements: water, earth, fire, and air, designed in a colorful, cartoonish manner, showing clear and interesting visuals.

Overall, it is a simple design without many details in the background except for the swirling purple cloud effect, but that is reasonable because it boasts 49 symbol positions across the grid!

The reels are seen floating against a vortex in deep space, next to a meter featuring the four wild elements, while on the right, you have the big spinning buttons.

The moment you load the game, you will be reminded of Reactoonz since the symbols are drawn up in a cheerful style: four wide-eyed, grinning element symbols and four different shapes.

Plus, the funky-style soundtrack following the action is a perfect addition to the overall atmosphere.

Betting Options and Other Functions

This colorful machine is quite beautifully designed, as the title has 7 reels, 7 rows, and uses a Cluster Pays game engine (read here), so to create a winning combo, you will need a cluster of at least 5 symbols both horizontally or vertically.

The game accepts bets from 20 p/c up to £/€100 per spin, making it suitable for all kinds of punters.

Expectedly, this is a high-volatile online game with a slightly above-average RTP of 96.33%, although if you opt for the Buy feature, the percentage increases to 97.94%!

The most valuable symbol is the red character, rewarding 0.4 x stake if you land a 5-symbol cluster, going up to a maximum of 20x your stake for a cluster of 15 or more symbols.

Special Features

Besides its Cluster Pays system that sees the symbols being removed after forming a winning cluster, allowing the new ones to land on their places, this fantasy-themed online game boasts a good pack of features.

Pay attention to a border called the Element Area, surrounding the main set of symbols, showing empty positions where only elemental Wild symbols can appear.

These four Wilds are central to the action, so before a spin starts, you can have up to 6 Wild symbols randomly appearing in the Element area and shift clockwise following a successful avalanche. 

If any of the Wilds is involved in a cluster win, it will increase the corresponding Element Meter by +1 and trigger its corresponding feature:

• Fire Wild will award a random number of Wilds to the Play Area - between 2 to 10.
• X Flood will transform 9 positions in an X shape into the same symbol. Moreover, you can have 2 of these features triggered at the same time.
• Demolition will pick a random low-rewarding symbol and remove it from the Play Area, thus triggering a new cascade!
• Tornado will select one random symbol and remove its adjacent 8 symbols from the play.

But wait, that's not all!

If a cluster win does not include any Wild, it may spawn a random Element Wild and place it at a random place on the element wheel.

Lastly, activate all 4 Wild symbols in a single spin, and you will trigger the Free Spins feature!

When this occurs, you will get 5 extra spins, plus an additional free spin for each element symbol you’ve collected during the base game.

During these bonus spins, a win multiplier will start increasing by +1 with each avalanche, going up to a maximum of x99!

Conclusion

Fantasma Games surely managed to broaden their slot portfolio with this one. Although you might be disappointed by the game's low-paying paytable at first, you will probably change your mind the moment you trigger one of its bonuses!

Overall, the game features a good RTP percentage, plenty of ways to form winning combos, and a pretty decent maximum potential of 16000x the total stake!
