The Wombat says: Now, I know what you’re thinking; this Wombat must have had too much sun on Bondi Beach, which is why he’s banging on about pink elephants. But no, you’d be wrong. Zany game-makers Thunderkick have come up with a monster ‘Ways to Win’ game in the Pink Elephants slot, and it has nothing to do with sun and sand at all!
If you are used to a more traditional theme like the Irish 9 Pots of Gold, you might well be scratching your head at this point. But stay with me!
Look and Feel
The graphics in this game are cartoon animations. Your reels are set on a hazy desert backdrop against a bright blue sky with wonky trees all adding to the slightly hallucinogenic vibe. I´ve just come off NetEnt’s Finn and the Candy Spin slot and it feels like whatever they´ve been having is catching.
The pink elephants themselves are covered in henna tattoos which makes this Wombat wonder if the game isn’t set in the desert of Rajasthan. After all, Indian elephants are mighty and Ganesh the Hindu god has an elephant’s head, too – so revered are these great big blood beasts. The slot soundtrack also has an Indian feel to it with a sitar plinking in the background. It’s a thumbs up from us!
Pink Elephant Slot Game Play
Pink Elephants slot has 6 reels, 4 rows and comes with 4096 Ways to Win. Compare that to something like the Ring of Odin slot from Play’n GO with its 10 paylines. That´s a herd of Ways to Win!
Take your mammoth-sized spins from 0.10 up to 100 a go in pounds, euros or dollars!
With no paylines, winning combos can be formed as long as there are matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left-hand side.
Your icons spinning on the reels include the pink elephant plus various meerkats; one with flowers their in hair, one with a beard made of flowers, one done up with green face paint, and the last one missing a couple of teeth. The 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A playing card symbols that make up your lower-value symbols.
The Pink Elephant is the highest-paying symbol in the game and will pay out 100x your bet for landing 6 in a row.
The ‘W’ icon is the wild symbol and it replaces all other symbols except for the glowing peanut scatter symbol. Of course the scatter is a peanut! Don’t you know they are an elephant’s favourite snack?
Free Spins and Bonuses
Land 3x or more of the peanut Scatter icons to set off the bonus Free Spins. As always, the number of Free Spins you’ll receive depends on the number of Scatters you hit: 3x triggers 7 Free Spins, 4x triggers 11, 5x triggers 15 Free Spins and 6x gives you a whopping 19 Free Spins.
Next, the comedy meerkats ascend to the heavens towards a celestial pink elephant in the sky! No, we are not joking. And a new set of reels takes centre stage on your screen.
During this bonkers bonus, the aim is to collect elephant icons on the reels which will go towards filling up orb-o-meters linked to the 4 meerkats. 
When a meter has been filled, all instances of that symbol will transform into pink elephants (the most valuable on the reels) and an extra Free Spin will be awarded. There are 4 levels – make it to the final meerkat and there are some potentially huge wins for the taking.
If you’re lucky enough to land another 2x scatters in this madcap round, you’ll be given another 3 Free Spins.
Mystery Feature
Don’t worry Wombat Fans, if you don’t manage to land the scatters, you can keep your eyes peeled for mystery scatter symbols. They will drop onto the screen in the hope of triggering the Free Spins round randomly!
Conclusion
It can take a while to hit the Free Spins in Pink Elephants slot- because the game is high variance (like most Thunderkick releases). But they are worth waiting for! If you’re lucky there could be some base game wins to be had with that handy Wild icon.
Wombat score: 4/5
