Christmas is just round the corner with Microgaming’s new slot for 2020, A Tale of Elves. This is a high variance slot with an RTP of 95.07% with a maximum jackpot win of x20,000 your wager. Bets start from 30p up to £12 and it’s full of features including scatters, wilds and free spins.

A Tale of Elves

OK, I’ll admit it, I love the design! The Elves are all different colours and have cute, cheeky faces, and the backgrounds change from a snowy woodland scene with signposts and beautiful mountains in the background, to inside the elves’ workshop with shelves of toys and drawings on the walls. Microgaming have done a great job at making this slot game feel really magical, like you’re actually in Santa’s grotto!It’s no surprise to hear the sound track is very Christmassy with lots of sleigh bells, and the reel symbols feature Santa himself, the various coloured elves, holly wreaths and J to A Royals symbols.

Gameplay and features

A Tale of Elves is a 5 reel game with up to 243 paylines. The lower paying symbols are the  J to A royals, rising in value to the four brightly coloured elves. Land 5 elves of the same colour and win from x5 to x8.33 your wager.The wilds are the wreath symbols and if you land 5 on a payline they’re worth double the top premium. Wilds can land anywhere and replace the symbols to form winning combinations. The most valuable symbol on the grid is the scatter.To grab some free spins you need to land at least 3 santas. 3 santas pays out x1 of your wager, 4 santas pays out x20 and 5 santas pays out x200 of your wager.

Verdict

If you need a dash of Christmas spirit, A Tale of Elves is bound to get you in the mood. The graphics can’t be faulted and it’s a really enjoyable game. But remember, it may look cute, but it’s a high volatility slot with big wins and losses to be had.
