"Autoplay" option will turn the reels automatically without interruption, and "Double Up" will start the Gamble feature.
Elemental Spells involve 4 elemental symbols – air, fire, water, earth. This feature is triggered by combining Spell Books on reels 1 and 2 with an elemental symbol on reel 3. The elemental symbol dictates which spell will be triggered. A Spell Book on reel 4 or 4 and 5 will increase the spell power.
Water Elemental spell casts water spell of course. Once the spell is cast, a tremendous wave of water will be summoned splashing across the reels. All Elements and spell book symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 will become Wild.
Earth Elemental spell will shake the ground once casted. Alkemor will summon meteors which will rein on the reels with incredible force. All Elements and spell book symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 will become Wild, and all other icons will be destroyed, and a cascade of new symbols will assume their place.
When Alkemor casts an Air Elemental Spell, a gigantic tornado will be summoned. All Elements and spell book symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 will become Wild, and other symbols will be blown off the reels and return in another position on the reels. Wins will be recalculated.
With Fire Elemental Spell a huge ball of fire will come down to the reels, which will erupt in flames. All Elements and spell book symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 will become Wild. Spell Book in reel 1 will be transformed into a random symbol. Extra Wild symbols will be added, equal to the number of Spell Books in the triggering spin.
If you land 2 Spell Books and a third book wrapped in vine you will be taken to another screen for Free Spins. You can win 10, 12 or 15 spins. The Nature Floor is a magical environment which features brand new set of symbols and one unique feature that can only be found here. Earn a Vine symbol anywhere on the reel 3 and it will devour its neighbors, with rewards for each devoured symbol.
If you land 2 Spell Books plus 1 book wrapped in a sun-like banner, you will be taken to the Celestial Floor. You can win 10, 12 or 15 spins. This is another magical environment which carries a feature of its own. If you win a Black Hole symbol anywhere on the reels 2 or 4, it will devour its neighbors, leaving rewards for each devoured symbol.
Each time you land a win during base game you can choose to gamble your win by clicking on "Double Up". In this feature, you will play a coin toss. You will choose between heads and tails. Correct guess will double up your winnings, and a wrong one will cost you your win.

My first play on Alkemor's Tower was many months ago when I was given some free spins to try the game. Not a lot of free spins to get to know the game, not even enough to know much about it either. But recently, I had the opportunity to play this game on a much prolonged time frame, thereby giving me more info and experience on the gameplay.
Coming from BetSoft, one can expect very high levels of graphics excellence, from the background scenarios to the game icons themselves. but that is as far as it can go, the way I see it now. Alkemor's Tower offers 4 different types of Bonus feature games, plus a Nature Book Free Spins game. However, chances for additional or extra winnings have been reduced because both the Wild and the Scatter symbols don't pay anything for themselves. Such a big shame and a letdown. All symbols come stacked on the reels, with Alkemor as the highest paying symbol at 350x the line bet for 5 of him. The Green Crystal pays 200x and the others pay from 150x down to 25x the line bet for 5 of each kind. A very very low paytable indeed.
The 4 feature games are called the Elemental Spells, comprising of Water, Earth, Air and Fire elements, each with its own special way of creating wins on the reels. To trigger any of these 4 Spells, you need to get the Spell Book, the Scatter symbol, on reels 1 and 2, plus get one of the 4 Elemental symbol on reel 3. Any additional Spell Book appearing on reels 4 and 5 will increase the power of the Spells, giving bigger wins. Whenever a Spell has been triggered, all Elemental and Spell Book symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 are transformed into Wilds, the Spell Book on reel 1 transformed into a random paying symbol, and all wins are multiplied by the number of the triggering Spell Books and Elemental symbol. Meaning, all wins are multiplied by either 3x, 4x or 5x, depending on how many Spell Books triggered the Spell.
The Water Element - the most basic of the 4 Spells, merely transforms the symbols as described earlier. The Earth Element - all Spell Book and Element symbols are transformed into Wilds, and all other symbols get replaced with new random symbols to create more new wins. The Air Element - the same basic transformation but all other symbols get reshuffled to create new wins. The Fire Element - the same basic transformation but up to 4 Extra Wilds are added onto the reels for more new wins, the number of Extra Wilds being the number of Spell Books that triggered the Spell. Getting a Nature Book symbol on reel 3, instead of an Elemental symbol, triggers a random 10, 12 or 15 free spins with a Special Nature symbol. The Vine symbol devours its adjacent neighbours and pays for each devoured, whilst the Black Hole symbol may appear on reel 2 and 4 and devours its adjacent neighbours, paying for each of them devoured. That's a lot of special features to remember, but it gets clearer after playing the game for some time.
Needless to say, with all the different features and special winning ways, the payouts from each feature game have much to be desired, simply because the paytable does not provide for such big wins. Mostly fall in the range of 10x to 30x the total bet, with the occasional higher wins of 40x and above. I've had 2 Free Spins game that paid only 5x and 10x my bet amount, and that was very disappointing indeed, considering that the Free Spins game were hard to come by. Alkemor's Tower may be fun and exciting to play at first, but the excitement wouldn't last for long.
