Electric Sam Slot Elk Studios

First it is odd as you can drop coin value down to 0,002 so you will win only about fifth of the value of coins won.
After that shock I've liked it more and more. It feels like getting to bonus games is made pleasantly easy. You can also win fair amounts of money from there.

Electric Sam is 243 payline video game from Elk software provider. The game is nice designed, it has nice theme but I don't like payouts. While I was playing it, I received only small winnings.

Into the game there are free spins feature. When 3 or more bells came up the feature start. There are 3 different modes during free spins. Sticky wilds, multipliers and imploding symbols. Sticky wilds trigger when three or more Sam symbols appear, he goes electric and replaces 1 random symbol with a sticky wild. Multiplier mode start when three or more Sandra symbols appear, she awards with some multiplier and the last mode is trigger when three or more Maggie symbols appear. At this last mode she sets off a chain of imploding symbols, zapping them away for added win chances.

When I played I received only first and last one. The sticky wilds are good, but did not impressed me. The payout was low even when there were wilds, at last mode I got new symbols on the reels but not a winning combination. So I did not win anything.

I don't like this game when I played. The payouts during base game were really low.
This game offer many paylines and I expected some decent, big wins during base game. Into free spins another disappointment. I don't like that for 3 scattered beels you receive only 5 free spins. I did not saw any 243 payline game which offer only 5 free spins. This dissapointed me a lot, sure you can get more additional spins during feature but I expected at least 10 for the beginning.

Otherwise the graphics, sound is good but the paytable is not at all. I am sure I will not play it again, because I lost 20€ on it at minimum bets without any decent win. I don't like it, it could/should offer better payouts.

Electric Sam is a very great looking fantasy tale slot game from Elk Studios which is blessed with exceptional graphics. Strangely there are several different kind of symbols like trolls, classic emblems like 7’s, bell made by traditional illustration method and fruits which look like as if they were neon lights above the entrance of a bar. Seemingly they don’t really fit well together and all 3 group of symbols could be used for own video slot but playing the game this absolutely can’t be felt and they really can work together and they do it very effectively. I like the colourful, fresh, cheerful atmosphere what the game creates and it’s respectable if a game has got such ability without becoming infantile or flippant. So overall, this is a very nice product from this developer and it’s really obvious that they put remarkable much effort in making this slot as it looks like now.

For me it’s a little bit surprising that this is not a 15-20-payline slot rather it uses 243-ways-to-win working scheme which opens up space to not just be beautiful but also diversified and interesting. The name giving Electric Sam emblem is the Wild of the game and replaces other icons in winning combinations without win multiplying ability. There’s not too much to know about the game regarding to its normal game functioning as it has good win occurring tendency but with just average payout capability partly thanks to the attribute of symbols to may appear on the reels in stacked format but we can’t find here any specialty and we have to focus more on the only feature what the game offers, the free spin bonus.

The free spins activating icon is the 7 and though it hasn’t got own paying ability but it’s always a welcomed guest on the board especially if it comes with at least its two buddies then 5, 10, 15 extra games are awarded. I know the number of free spins don’t seem to be too much and they’re actually not but the features what the game assigns to its side game more or less possess such qualities what need to be able to compensate it a little bit and be considered as a good feature at times.

So during the side game a winning combination with character named Sam means that the remaining free spins will be played with at least one Sticky Wild symbol on the reels and every additional Sam win put another Sticky Wild on the table. If Sandra symbol forms winning combination it award win multiplier and can raise it up to x 10 while a winning combination with Maggie makes the member of that combination and all fruit symbols on the table falling emblems and they disappear at the end of the spin and all pictograms above them fall one spots down creating new arrangement of symbols and giving space for newcomers on the top row(s).

My little problem with the game is exactly the same as I have with more and more games lately and its not the appearing habits of winning combinations but rather their general paying ability. I don’t know maybe I just run into this type of games or just getting more greedy but assigned paying values of combinations sometimes really make almost impossible for players to win big with them except if the line bet is so high what not every average player (like me) can afford or willing to do. This is the case with Electric Sam where from time to time nice wins can be achieved but however this is not the characteristic of the game and unfortunately an ordinary play session is not about that. I think Electric Sam has got some room for improvement in this area to break through the ‘nice, cute game with not too good rewarding ability’ label and finally can be considered as a real good game. So I just hope this slot is still in work in progress caste in the eyes of the creators and in the future we can see some improvement in game settings and qualities.

The Electric Sam slot from the Elk casinos is great. And it is great in almost every aspect although in the first 10-20 spins you are angry on it. Why are you angry first? Because it says that you won 500 coins and actually it pays you only 1 Euro. It is in fact the first slot where I play having the value of a coin less than 1. If you choose to bet 20 cents instead of 1 Euro your payout will be reduced 5 times. But this anger passes quickly, because the slot is indeed very good.

With 243 ways to win, this is one of the most beautiful and generous slots that I played recently (this last month). There are 3 major symbols that pay substantially and also bring their magic on every reel (especially in Free Spins): “Electric Sam” (Wild), “Electric Sandra” (multiplier) and “Electric Maggie” (imploding symbols). Besides these 3, there are only four minor symbols that pay a bit less, I need to recognize. But because it is a 243 ways to win slot and because it has only 7 symbols from about every spin you win something. I tried to play with one of the betting strategies that are present here in the paytable (the bet is increased by 2 levels after 5 loosing spins) but I never had the bet increased in a few tens of spins (so frequent the wins are).

What is even more fun is that in Free Spins you enter at least every 15-20 spins and now those major symbols unleash their magic (they became electrified when 3 of them are present). Electrified means that Sam brings a wild locked, and Sandra brings a locked multiplier.You can easily get up to 500-5000 coins in Free Spins, but if you play on the 20 cent bet, you will get up with just 10 Euro at the end. This is however a win and it is also good and the advantage of some Euros in maintained through the entire game (playing with minimum bet this advantage lasts for hundreds of spins).

The graphics of the slot is bright, “electric” if I may say so. This is a very good slot recommending further Elk Gaming.
