Great Wild Elk is a five reel, 10 payline video slot by NextGen Gaming. It is playable from 10p to £20 per spin.

Theme

As you’d probably expect, an elk takes centre stage in this slot’s theme. The action takes place in a magical forest with the colours of the Aurora Borealis lighting the sky above. Both forest and fantasy creatures are included in the symbols and you’ll come across squirrels, eagles and snakes as well as two elvish characters. The lower value symbols are represented by different coloured runes. The great wild elk himself acts as the wild symbol and the tree is the scatter.

Game Play

The graphics in this game are second to none and combined with the other worldly soundtrack really add to the atmosphere. At the beginning of any spin you may find the Elk Light Feature randomly activated. When this happens any runes landing on the reels can be transformed into animals or one of the elves.

Free Spins

This round is triggered when the elk wild symbol, which only appears on reel three, contributes to one or more wins. You’ll be awarded between four and ten free spins during which the elk will stay in place on the centre reel. Whenever a tree symbol appears during the feature you’ll be awarded the amount of the enduring win, that is the amount you won to trigger the free spins.

Call of the Elk

At the end of the free spins you’ll be directed to the Call of the Elk feature. This is a further free spin, during which only scatter wins and enduring wins count. If you land a winning combination you’ll be awarded another free spin, if not then you’ll return back to the base game. The free spins continue for as long as you keep winning.

Verdict

Mesmerising and aesthetically brilliant, Great Wild Elk is an engaging slot to play and is definitely worth checking out, particularly if you enjoy fantasy themes.
