Elementals is a five-reel, 20-payline video slot developed by Microgaming. Released as part of the studio's extensive portfolio of nature-themed games, it draws on the classical four elements - earth, fire, water, and wind - and brings them to life as characters on the reels. This is a different game entirely from NetEnt's Elements: The Awakening; Microgaming's Elementals has its own cast, mechanics and personality.
The game carries an RTP of 96.15%, which sits comfortably at the industry average. Volatility is on the lower-to-medium end, meaning wins tend to come fairly regularly even if they are not always large. The maximum jackpot stands at 5,000 coins, worth up to £25,000 at maximum stake.
Theme and Symbols
The four elemental characters dominate the high-value section of the paytable. Gnome represents the earth element, Undine stands for water, Sylph carries the spirit of wind, and Salamander embodies fire. These are drawn from the alchemical tradition of the 16th-century Swiss physician Paracelsus, giving the game a slightly scholarly edge beneath its cartoonish presentation.
The lower-value symbols are fruit icons - cherries, lemons, oranges, plums and melons - which are a departure from the playing-card royals that fill out many Microgaming titles. It gives the paytable a classic slot feel while the character symbols provide the thematic weight.
The wild symbol shows all four elemental characters together and substitutes for every symbol except the scatter and the free spins trigger. Crucially, it doubles any win it completes, so landing a wild in a winning line multiplies the payout by 2x.
The scatter is a crystal ball. Five crystal balls anywhere on the reels pays 200x your total bet, which is the single biggest non-bonus payout in the base game.
Free Spins Feature
The free spins round is triggered by landing the golden 'E' symbol on reel one and reel five simultaneously. When both appear, you receive 20 free spins. All wins during this round are doubled, and the wild's own 2x multiplier stacks with this, so a wild-assisted win in free spins is worth 4x the base value.
The free spins can be retriggered if the 'E' symbols land again on reels one and five during the bonus round, adding another 20 spins to your total. There is no cap stated on retriggering, which makes a long free spins run a realistic prospect.
How to Play
Elementals offers both a standard and an expert play mode. The standard mode covers single-session play with manual spin controls. Expert mode adds an autoplay function, letting you set a number of spins to run automatically - useful if you want to play through the free spins trigger without constant manual input.
Coin values and the number of active paylines are both adjustable, giving you control over the overall bet per spin. The minimum bet is 1p per spin across all 20 lines, and the maximum is £100 per spin. Before starting, it is worth checking the paytable, which lists all symbol values, the scatter pay schedule, and the conditions for triggering free spins.
Winning combinations pay left to right from reel one. The paytable pays are multiplied by the coins staked per line, not the total bet, so check your coin value and coins-per-line settings before spinning.
Mobile Compatibility
As a Microgaming title, Elementals is available across desktop and mobile browsers. The game uses Flash in its original form, though HTML5 variants are available at many casinos. On mobile, the layout adapts to portrait and landscape orientations. All the main features - the free spins trigger, wild doubles, scatter pays - function identically on mobile as on desktop. Touch controls replace the mouse-click interface.
Summary
Elementals is a solid mid-range slot from Microgaming. The 96.15% RTP is fair, the 20 free spins with a doubling multiplier give the bonus round real earning potential, and the retriggering mechanic adds replay value. The elemental character theme is handled with some flavour - these are not generic symbols but figures drawn from actual alchemical lore. If you enjoy nature-themed slots with a straightforward feature set and decent bonus frequency, Elementals is worth a spin.
