Elements: The Awakening

Elements: The Awakening is a NetEnt slot in which four elemental forces compete for control of the reels. Symbols do not spin; they fall into place and burst when they win, which gives the game a quicker rhythm than a classic slot. The premium symbols are glowing elemental stones, led by an exploding yellow rock worth 1,500 coins for five.

The 5x3 grid has 20 paylines and uses avalanches: winning symbols vanish and new ones drop in. Energy meters track the four elements, and a run of consecutive avalanches leads into one of four Free Falls modes, each with its own storm wild. A 96.0 % RTP, low to medium volatility and stakes from €0.20 to €100 suit players who want steady action.

After a win, the winning symbols explode and new ones fall from above, so one spin can produce a chain of wins. The avalanche meter climbs one step with each consecutive avalanche, while the energy meters show the state of each element. When four crystals light up on the avalanche meter, one of the four Free Falls rounds begins.

Each of the four elements has its own bonus mode, and every mode awards 10 Free Falls. The modes differ in their wilds, some of which expand across the grid to raise the size of wins. Advanced autoplay can run from 10 to 1,000 spins, and the feature list names a 300,000-coin top prize.
