Elven Gold Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Elven Gold is the latest release by Microgaming partners Just for the Win. You are transported to the magical home of the elves, where hidden treasures await those who walk the spiritual path of the elves towards patience and persistence.

Graphics and Sound

If you are a fan of anything J.R.R. Tolkien, you will feel at h ome with this slot.

Graphics hit the bull’s eye in terms of delivery; however, they feel a bit static. The 5-reel, 4-row grid hangs on the backdrop of a blurry elven settlement full of fireflies. And that’s pretty much all of it.

Great Soundtrack

The redeeming element is, without a doubt, the music, which not only does an excellent job of swimmingly getting the slot concept across but is good enough to enjoy on its own.

Volatility

Elven Gold is a highly volatile slot. For players with little experience, this means that you win less often, but rewards are sweeter. Hold your horses, though, as the 15,000x payoff is notoriously hard to get.

Elven Gold RTP and Hit Rate

Some consolation comes from the overall 96.10% RTP, which is pretty decent.

That said, base gameplay is a weird amalgam of exciting dynamism – you win 36.17% of the time – and frustration from a lack of regular big hits. This is remedied when you enter the free spins round.

Scatter Feature

At any point during the game, the owl mask is a desired tile to land. The more of them you land in a single spin, the bigger the multiplier reward. It can go from 1x for four scatters to the ultimate 15,000 x your stake for 12 scatters.

If you enjoy this kind of feature, it’s prevalent in a number of Gameburger slots like 9 Pots of Gold and Hyper Strike.

The catch is that these symbols are difficult to land during the base game. They are much more likely to appear during the free spins round.

Max-win 15,000x

Volatility High

RTP 96.1%

Elven Gold Free Spins

Landing three Free Spins symbols lifts the gameplay to new heights. It triggers the Free Spins Round, which is similar to the feature in the Money Train series.

During this round, every scatter you land moves the drumroll one level up and resets the number of remaining free spins to three. When the free spins counter hits zero, the round ends.

Elven Gold Slot Review

The new Elven Gold slot by Just For The Win has the potential to appeal to a wider audience in our eyes. While the graphics ask for a final brush-up or two, we have nothing but praises for the music arrangement. It does the job so well that you can stretch your legs and simply enjoy it.

The Good and the Bad

That said, we are slightly disappointed by the appearance, rate of scatters and free spins in the base game. The 36.17% win rate and the 96.10% RTP are highlights, though as the math model gives players something to look forward to.

Is Elven Gold Worth a Spin?

To cap it, Elven Gold is definitely one of the better releases of the Gold Series. And despite its resemblance to Emerald Gold – another popular title by Just For The Win – it brings a fresh perspective into the genre. We recommend it.
