The Elf Wars

When you read the title of this game, it sounds as if it is an epic saga from Tolkien! It could be set somewhere in the world he created and complete his fictional world. However that is not that sort of game. The Elf Wars is a video slot by Realtime Gaming and it marks the wars between regular elves. The ones you mention during the New Year’s Eve. Still, if you are willing to find out more, keep on reading because we analyzed this game into details!

Theme

Are you ready to meet some angry elves? This isn’t a jolly New Year’s Eve themed game where you can enjoy some happy tunes as you wait for the Santa Claus to climb down the chimney and leave the presents under the tree. On the contrary – these elves have tanks and all equipment for war!

The symbols which can be encountered in this release are the playing card icons wrapped in decorative paper, the fancy sledge with fire body and turbo engines as well as some rockets, a paper scroll, a bucket with presents, snowmen, “Welcome to the North Pole” sign Santa, Rudolph, good and bad elves.

There’s more:

Both Santa and Rudolph have military background (here’s a sentence no-one has ever written or said) and although all symbols are cleverly designed, they are slightly hard to distinguish…

Last but not least, the icons are placed against the black surface and the overall design of the game is unique. Hopefully, you will love it!

Betting Options and Other Functions

It is that time of the year when you need to set the bet and start playing. You can do that by clicking on “Bet” but you should know that wagers range from 0.50 to 50.00 per spin. As you can conclude, this title has the 3x5 layout while the number of paylines is 50! That is a lot of options to collect payouts.

The controls are simple to understand and it will only take you seconds to realize what’s what. Above the reels your balance is showcased, together with win and slot bet, whereas all of the control buttons are placed under the reels. “Autoplay” could be useful if you need a break!

Features

In terms of features, this release isn’t as rich as you might have expected it to be.

What could players hope for?

The elves look ready for war but both the good and bad elves act as scatters and have the identical role. Namely, 2 or more have to show up on the screen for you to receive a re-spin! The reels on which the scatters have landed are kept while the other reels start circling around once more for potential wins.

Usually, heroes Santa and Rudolph have secondary role in this release. The act as wilds and they will replace any icons except the scatter. With two wilds always in play, the sky can be the limit and you are bound to win lucrative prizes!

Our Take on The Elf Wars

This is an entertaining release with the unconventional theme that captures the attention of gambling enthusiasts who love online games. Although “the story behind it” is intriguing, the game is slightly impoverished in the bonus department, but that doesn’t mean you cannot have fun with it and even win a jackpot! And if that happens, buy yourself a nice present for the New Year’s as the courtesy of elves at war.
