Evil Elf

With Christmas being right around the corner, a dangerous enemy is trying everything in its power to ruin the holiday all across the globe!

In Evil Elf by Arcadem software provider you will team up with Santa Claus himself in order to stop that from happening!

This title features a common 5x3 grid layout with 25 paylines, tense soundtrack and festive graphics.

Don’t worry, it also comes with special features such as Wilds, Multiplier Wilds, Free Spins and Bonus Picks!

Theme and Symbols

Powering up this game will give you a good look at a small town that’s covered in snow that just keeps on falling.

As you head towards the reels you will get across festive themed symbols such as candy canes, elf police, Santa and frost berries, all acting as the higher paying symbols.

The lower paying symbols match the theme quite well too as they are represented with polar bears wearing Santa caps and holding symbols K-10.

Betting Options and Other Functions

While some players might find the betting options kind of limiting, that doesn’t mean you can’t land great wins in this release.

For the minimum bet, the provider went with the option of 0.01 credits, while the maximum amounts to 5 credits which might be a bit low for some.

When it comes to payout potential, thanks to a theoretical return to player of 96.03% and the highest win that rewards an impressive 10,000 times your bet, you can still win big despite lower betting options!

Special Features

This one-armed bandit is also coming packed with special features so let’s go over them.

First we have the Wild Symbol that acts as a substitute for all other symbols besides Scatter.

Then there are the Free Spins that are triggered whenever you land 3 Scatter symbols – Santa’s sleighs that can be found only on reels 1, 3, and 5 and if you do, will award 10 free spins!

Great thing about the Free Spins, besides the Broken Sleigh symbol that’s only available during this feature, which will increase the remaining amount of your spins by 2 when it lands, is the fact that the Wild symbol during this feature turns into a multiplier wild with a 2x multiplier!

Last but not least there’s the Bonus Picks feature that triggers whenever you land Bonus Symbols that appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.

You will then be taken to a screen with 10 presents that are waiting for you to open them, each hiding a different cash prize.

Keep in mind that one of the presents also hides the collect symbol which will bring the feature to the end.

Verdict

Arcadem did a great job once again, this time with Evil Elf, a festive addition to their product list.

While some might be skeptical about the limited betting options, thanks to the high potential wins and interesting special features, the provider did a great job of keeping things interesting.

If you were looking for a Christmas themed title, you don’t want to skip this one!
