Birthday Slot

Grahpics

ELK Studios is renowned for its captivating online and mobile slots, and Birthday! is another in the studio’s Mobile First developments that sees our slots symbols take centre stage in an immersive game space.

Red, blue and green Balloons make up our lower-paying symbols, while Cocktails, Rose and Birthday! Logo do the honours as our top-payers. A tasty-looking Cake Wild helps make our Birthday! wishes come true. Our action takes place in a bar – where better to host a birthday celebration? – with Toro the bull of Wild Toro fame and Pepe from ELK’s Taco Brothers slot propping up the bar. ELK adds a lovely touch by including happy birthday messages to famous faces that pop up on the screen when said stars’ birthdays come around.

As we might expect, the animations take a turn for the superb when we trigger the game’s bonus features, with various characters bursting onto the reels to make scene-stealing cameos. Anne Bonny from Wild Seas, two of the Bloopers and Electric Sam all feature in Walking Wilds and Sticky Wilds that help to bring this celebratory slot to life.

Gameplay

Not only do we have a funky tune to enjoy as part of these birthday celebrations, but we also have some tasty bonuses to look forward to. And, just as birthdays bring surprises so does ELK’s Birthday! slot.

We trigger all features randomly, with the feature announced by a ringing doorbell, surprising us with Free Spins, Happy Spins and Wilds. But which ELK character will bring us some birthday slots surprises?

- The Camel from Hidden delivers 3-5 Wins, respinning until we score a set number of wins.
- Mr. Lake from the Lake’s Five slot gives up 5 of A Kind, respinning until we land a five-of-a-kind win.
- Electric Sam delivers Electrified respins, choosing one symbol and making them sticky until no more symbols appear.
- Like any good pirate, Anne Bonny brings us a Big Win, refusing to let us stop respinning until we have won at least x20 our bet.
- The Matador from Wild Toro delivers an Any Win With? feature that respins the reels until we have scored a win with the chosen symbol.
- Electric Sam’s Maggie Free Spins give us 10 free spins. Nice and simple.
- Two of the Bloopers give us Walking Wilds and Sticky Wilds, which can activate at any time. The former walk across the reels until no respins remain, the latter stay on for the duration of the feature they activate in.

Verdict

Birthdays are celebrations of the happiest kind, and ELK pulls off the happy vibes to a T in its Birthday! slot. Birthdays are traditionally also the time that we catch up with old friends and family that we don’t always see, so to bring scores of ELKs favourite characters to the same party is a masterstroke.

And, just as we would want to spend as much time with each of our friends and families who came to our birthdays, we will look to spend as much time with these bonus-wielding lovelies as possible. There’s plenty going on - ELK is spoiling us!
