Elemental Adventures

Art, Sound and the Comedy of Elemental Adventures

Elemental Adventures opens on a forest clearing where each element keeps its own corner, and the game leaves it there: no menu screen, no preamble, just the scene and the reels over it. Top of the paytable and top of the artwork, the same motif: a fire spirit with its mouth wide open. In Elemental Adventures that motif holds both together.

The rest of the premium symbols are the water spirit, the earth spirit, the wind spirit and a rune stone; the low-value positions are card ranks. The colour work is grass green, orange flame and warm timber, and it is good-humoured rather than subtle.

Audio is good-humoured: a background loop, a distinct reel-stop, and a separate cue for the feature so you hear it before you read it. On a phone held upright the grid keeps the same proportions and the grass green survives the shrink, which is not true of every title in the lobby — some lose their backgrounds entirely at that width.

Elemental Adventures identifies itself quickly, which counts for more in a lobby of this size than it would in a small one.

The Maths Behind the Fire Spirit

Under the art, Elemental Adventures is a straightforward 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines machine. Wins are read left to right from the first reel, and only the highest combination on each line counts, so a second fire spirit further along the same line adds nothing. The paytable is top-heavy. The fire spirit carries the headline number, the water spirit the next one, and everything below is filler.

The wild here is Wild Scatter Orbs — the orb works as a wild and as a scatter at once. That is the single most important line in the Elemental Adventures paytable, because it is what turns a near miss into a paid line. The maximum quoted for Elemental Adventures is 5,000× the total bet, and that figure is reached through the features rather than on a base spin — worth knowing before you judge the game by its first fifty spins.

8 free games with a morphing special symbol is the part of the paytable to read twice: eight free spins, and the special symbol changes shape as they run. So the honest way to read Elemental Adventures is as two games stacked: the base grid, which ticks over, and the feature, which does not.

Staking Elemental Adventures Without Guesswork

The stake on Elemental Adventures is 10 lines times whatever you set per line. Playing fewer than 10 is possible but rarely sensible on Elemental Adventures — it lowers the cost and the hit rate in the same step. Note that 5,000× the total bet is a multiplier, not a rand figure. It holds at every stake, which is what makes Elemental Adventures comparable with the games either side of it in the lobby.

This one runs medium volatility — it sits in the middle of the catalogue, neither a grinder nor a long-shot. One number people look for is missing from most write-ups of Elemental Adventures, and for a reason. RTG builds its games with a configurable return, so Elemental Adventures has no single RTP — it has whichever RTP each operator selected. Open the info panel inside Elemental Adventures to see the setting that applies to your session.

Raising or lowering the stake mid-session leaves no memory behind in Elemental Adventures: it settles each spin independently, and a run of losses does not make the next one better priced. Autoplay on Elemental Adventures stops on a feature trigger, which is the setting worth using: the base grid runs at speed and you still catch 8 free games with a morphing special symbol.

8 free games with a morphing special symbol and the Rest of the Toolkit

The feature set on Elemental Adventures runs to two rounds, and it repays reading the paytable once before you spin.

8 free games with a morphing special symbol (eight free spins, and the special symbol changes shape as they run). On Elemental Adventures this is the difference between a flat session and one you remember, so it is worth knowing what 8 free games with a morphing special symbol looks like before it arrives.

Wild Scatter Orbs: the orb works as a wild and as a scatter at once. Wild Scatter Orbs is the part of Elemental Adventures most worth having a balance left for.

Taken together the set is what separates Elemental Adventures from the rest of its shelf. The base grid is common enough across the catalogue; 8 free games with a morphing special symbol is not, and it is the reason the game has its own page here.

Getting the Most From Each Spin

Size the stake on Elemental Adventures so the balance covers a few hundred spins — that is roughly the window in which the game shows you what it does. Set the limit before the first spin of Elemental Adventures rather than after a bad run — the deposit and self-exclusion tools are in the account area and take effect immediately.

Elemental Adventures counts at the full 100% towards wagering, as every slot in our lobby does, and the conditions live on the bonus page. Before staking Elemental Adventures, run it in practice mode until 8 free games with a morphing special symbol has landed at least once — that wait tells you more about Elemental Adventures than the paytable does.

A dry stretch on Elemental Adventures is not a signal. 8 free games with a morphing special symbol does not become more likely because it is overdue, and betting as though it does is the fastest way to shorten a session. If Elemental Adventures stops being comfortable, the responsible gaming page lists the limits, the cooling-off options and the outside organisations we work with.

Try Elemental Adventures, Then Try Magic Mushroom

Elemental Adventures suits a player who wants a game that pays often enough to stay interesting without flattening out. The natural companion in our lobby is Magic Mushroom; the corner of the catalogue is close, the feel is not.

Elemental Adventures and Magic Mushroom both run in practice mode, so comparing them costs nothing but the time. Start with Elemental Adventures if you want a game that keeps showing you something. Full specifications for Elemental Adventures — the 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, volatility, the top end (5,000× the total bet), the feature list and the release year — are in the table at the top of this page.
