Trolls and Electricity are the theme of Electric Sam, the creative video slot from Elk Studios – nothing if not innovative. The game is essentially all about the Free Spins you can generate, with the usual Wilds, Scatters and Multipliers thrown in for good measure.
Games
This is a 5-reel, 3-row slot design that offers 243 ways to win. Elk has abandoned the standard payline-win format with Electric Sam. Instead, players win by generating left-to-right matching symbols in any adjacent reels. Coins size options range from 0.002 to 1.Players can elect to define their betting strategy with Elk Studios’ Jumper, Leveller or Booster options that can increase bet levels up to a max of 4 levels above the base bet:Jumper – raises bets 1 level after each win, and resets after a lossLeveller – raises the bet after 5 consecutive losses; repetition increases the bet by 2 more levels. This resets following a winBooster – raises a bet 1 level after a loss, and resets after a win
Design
The reels dominate the screen on Electric Sam, but that’s okay – the neon fruit symbols and luminescent troll characters, Sam, Sandra and Maggie, are pleasing on the eye. The bit of backdrop that does appear is in keeping with the troll theme, with leaves, branches and stone runes peeking in around the edges of the game. The Wild symbol is the Game Logo.
