Phoenix Graveyard Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction

Take a trip to Phoenix Town, where the corrupt mayor and his wife control everything that comes in and out. Those who don’t obey receive a visit from the Grim Reaper, but there is always hope from the Phoenix.

So, ELK knows how to set the scene, but does the Phoenix hold enough to save the day and deliver a decent slots experience? Multiple wilds, bonus multipliers, Tombstone symbols, free spins, and eternal battles between the Phoenix and Grim Reaper await. So, there is a lot of promise, at least!

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The visuals of Phoenix Graveyard are what you would expect from the team at ELK Studios. While the theme is a little more on the darker side than what we are usually accustomed to when playing ELK slots, the graphics sit well with the fantasy theme all the same.

Eery backdrops of the town, the major, his wife, and a melancholic musician all play their part in the reels. The suspenseful soundtrack also helps keep the gameplay moving along as you unravel the dark secrets of Phoenix Town.

Phoenix Graveyard RTP & Volatility

Phoenix Graveyard has an RTP of 95%, so we see it sitting slightly below the 96% RTP average of all online slots here at Slots Temple. ELK Studios has positioned the volatility as high, with a top maximum prize worth 10,000x your total stake – so expect the usual low win rate from this type of gameplay.

How to Win

ELK Studios has put the Phoenix Graveyard slot game on a 5x3 layout that offers 243 ways to win at the start of each spin, although this can increase via the many bonus features available in the game – more on all those in the next section.  

Phoenix Graveyard Tombstones

Any symbol during the game can transform into a Tombstone symbol with a “number of ways” displayed on the top – this is called Sudden Death. As you might guess, the Grim Reaper is involved here. Once the reels stop spinning, the symbol that lands in the Tombstone will get sliced into anything from two to 10 symbols.

Free Spins

Spin at least three black Phoenix scatter symbols to activate the free spin bonus game. You’ll get either six spins and one Phoenix wild, eight spins and two Phoenix wilds, or 10 spins and three Phoenix wilds. There is quite a lot going on during this feature, so let’s break it down into segments:

• Phoenix wilds take the place of the triggering scatter symbols and collect any Tombstone values, if available.
• Phoenix wilds stay activated on the reels and move around between each free spin.
• Tombstone symbols displayed when the free spin feature was triggered remain on the reels throughout the bonus game.

Battle

The eternal battles between the Phoenix and Grim Reaper are among the standout moments in the game. Battle commences once any Phoenix and Grim Reaper symbols land adjacently on the reels, with one of three possible outcomes:

• Phoenix wins and doubles its bonus multiplier.
• Phoenix jumps away and leaves a golden feather that turns into a Phoenix wild.
• Grim Reaper wins and doubles its bonus multiplier.

Our Verdict

ELK Studios has surprised us over the years, mainly with new bonus features and gameplay ideas. It has not been one to mix up its slot themes and visuals, but here we have Phoenix Graveyard and a darker and eerier slot than we have seen in the past.

Voodoo Gold or any of the Nitropolis series is what we know ELK for, but a newly trodden path for a theme is never a bad thing if done correctly. Thankfully for ELK, Phoenix Graveyard hits the right spot between story, visuals, and bonus features, including free spins, walking wilds, battles, and multipliers.

Just take note of the volatility and general low win rate gameplay, as this is not suited to lower budget players. But if Phoenix Town sounds like a place you want to visit, come step into the world where the Grim Reaper and the Phoenix battle it out on your behalf – available in free play mode at Slots Temple.
