Elk Studios have been producing a steady run of top-quality games somewhat under the radar for a while. Slowly becoming one of the most consistent software developers around, Elk still have a reputation as something of a niche, Indy provider, but their new slot looks set to bring an end to that.Released today (April 5th, 2017) the Hong Kong Tower slot is themed around a fictitious landmark in one of the busiest countries in the world.

About the slot

An unexpected theme for a slot game perhaps, but when one considers it, the Far East and its culture, history, food, and more have been popular subjects for slot games for decades, the fact that Elk have found something unique to focus on from that side of the world is impressive.Not only that, but it’s a great looking slot, Elk always make beautiful games aesthetically, but with Hong Kong Tower they may have made an extra step forward, because it’s simply stunning. The tower looks perfect in the Hong Kong skyline thanks to the developer taking clear and strong inspiration from the country’s architecture.hongkongtower1

Gameplay

This 5-reel, 99 payline slot shows the innovative skills of Elk Studios as much in its gameplay as in its design.The biggest feature here is the Reels in the Sky bonus round. Land three or more scatter symbols, and you’ll unlock three high paying reels that operate separately from the base game, each reel sits atop an apex of the tower.This is not only a unique feature, it can also be very profitable, as can the Mystery symbol, which is like a wild symbol except this one changes into a specific symbol as opposed to any.A great game, from an underappreciated software developer, Hong Kong Tower is out now and worthy of a few spins.https://youtu.be/3Gpm4xh0Dxs
