Fantasma Games and Relax Gaming joined forces to deliver us Elemento, a 9-reel video slot that benefits from cluster pays. There are four Wild Element symbols you need to pay attention to, and they only appear in Element Area. Activate each of them to trigger their corresponding feature. If all four of them are activated at the same time, you trigger the Free Spins feature with the increasing win multiplier, which can go up to 99x. This high variance game can deliver payouts up to 20,000x.
Elemento comes on a 9x9 reel grid, but not all the reels and rows are occupied by regular symbols. The top and bottom row and the leftmost and the rightmost reel represent the Element Area, and on these positions, only the Element Wilds symbols may appear. The inner 7x7 grid is the play area. To win payouts, players have to land clusters of 5 or more matching symbols, horizontally or vertically connected. Each winning cluster will disappear, thanks to the Avalanche feature, and new icons will fill the blank cells. Players may bet as low as $0.20 and as high as $50 per spin.
When talking about visuals, Elemento looks like a well-designed animated video for children. The reels are set in outer space, and the top four regular symbols resemble friendly-looking aliens. The Orange one pays the most, 100 times the bet for more than 15 in a cluster. Four different gemstones act as low-value symbols. There is a regular Wild symbol that appears in the play area, and four Element Wilds that appear on the Element Area. We have the Fire Wild, X Flood Wild, Demolition Wild, and Wind Wild. If a cluster win includes an Element Wild, it will trigger the corresponding feature on the next non-winning avalanche.
If a cluster win does not include any Element Wild, it may spawn a random Element Wild and place it on a random position in the Element Area. This is called the Element Spawn feature. Include the Fire Wild in a winning cluster and benefit from the Fire Wild feature. It will place 2-10 Wilds on random positions. X Flood feature chooses 9 positions shaped like an X and transforms all icons in the pattern into identical icons. The Demolition feature will pick one type of low-value icon and destroy all its instances from the reels.
The Win Wild included in a winning cluster will trigger the Tornado feature. It will select one regular symbol, and cause 8 adjacent symbols to turn in the selected icon, or to remove them. The Wind Wild can randomly pick up to two symbols at the same time. Activate all four Element Wilds in the same spin, and you will trigger free spins. Players get 5 initial freebies and one free spin for each of the activated Element Wilds. There is a win multiplier that begins at 1x and goes up by 1x after each avalanche. The win multiplier can go up to 99x. Activate all Element Wilds in the same free spin to get extra freebies.
Elemento is not an ordinary video slot players come across every day. It will take you a while before you understand how everything functions around here. Just remember that Element Wilds can only land on the Element Area and that they need to be a part of the winning cluster to be activated. It will not be easy to trigger free spins, but once you do, you will be able to compete for the grand prize of 20,000x bet, thanks to the rising win multiplier.
