Are you feeling fruity Wombat Fans? Well then, let’s take a whirl around the future of fruit machine slots on the ELK Studios Win Win slot. This game is packaged to look every inch like a sweet-talking, sweet spinning, slot classic.
As well as a big dollop of charm and 3 reel retro glamour, Win Win slot also boasts a bonkers amount of free spins. And, of course, the maximum €500,000 win pot adds a certain sparkle to the proceedings. This game is about as far away from a complex 5 reeler like the 88 Fortunes slot as you can get. Sometimes it’s great to get back to basics, isn’t it?
Look and Feel
With a background that is pure retro glitz and a soundtrack to match, the Win Win slot packs plenty of fruit machine inspired pizzazz. The first thing you’ll see is a message that says “Spin and Win”. Well, OK then! 3 reels sometimes is better than 5, just ask the people who play the 7s to Burn slot from Barcrest.
Flanking the reels are beads of light that gradually change from purple to blue, and then green. The game’s overall look is expensive and glossy and feels like a physical casino experience. Who don’t all 3 reel fruities look like this?
Did I mention that this game has a special line at play? Well, there’s more of that tasty treat later.
Gameplay
The swanky Win Win slot is set over 3 rows, 3 reels and 17 ways to win.
In this glitzy slot world, a win is generated by matching 3 icons on an active pay-line. There is a second route to winning glory and that’s if you land 2 of the valuable Win icons.
The trio at the top of the icon scoreboard are all lucky number 7s, topped by a red set. However, if you luck-in big time you’ll land the highly-desirable golden triple 7, worth a crazy 500x your wager. Hellooo!
Likewise, the mid-value icons are 3 classic BAR icons. While a cocktail of fruit is the tempting lower value icons on the reels with the retro melon, lemon and cherry. Mmmmmm. They seriously look good enough to eat. Well, except the lemon, I’ll use that in my famous Wombat Smoothie.
A megawatt diamond is this game’s Bonus icon which transforms when it lands in the bonus feature, turning into a Wild! As my cousin Roland from London would say, that is one “Diamond Geezer”.
Finally, there’s the all-important Win icon to get to grips with.
The Bonuses
Special Playline
Not satisfied with the thrills of a 3 x 3 format? Well worry not my friends as there’s an extra gimmick in the mix in the shape of a special pay-line where golden triple 7s land as well as the profitable Win icons. This is where you try and max out your winning chances.
Locked Reels Re-spin
If the slot gods are rooting for you, you might land matching icons on reels 1 and 3 and trigger the lucrative Locked Reels Re-spin. It’s time for a trio of spins with the outside matching reels frozen while the middle reels spin.
If you lure 3 of the diamond icons on the reels, you will trigger the bonus game. Spin the reels from here and you will get a random multiplier of up to 10x on any wins! If you don’t manage a win, however, those same multipliers can go into reverse, declining by 1x with each losing spin. That would be a good time to cross your paws and slip on your lucky pants.
Get Strategic!
As with other ELK Studio slots, the Win Win slot offers a Betting Strategy feature. Choose between bet options to suit your playing style and appetite for risk.
Summary
The Win Win slot is an impressive display of ELK Studio’s creative powers in a refreshing fruit machine style game. This wombat’s loved the slick looks and game play. Above all, I loved the special play-line with the Free Spins and a multiplier if your luck is in. It’s hard to knock a slot that offers 1,500 your wager on a single spin.
Wombat Score: 4.5
Loved it- this is no lemon!
