Elephant Treasure Slots
RTG’s slots normally mine the rich tapestry of Oriental culture, be it Japanese water gardens or ancient Chinese history. Here they’ve elected to foray further afield, journeying to India in their quest for inspiration. Although not stated as such, it seems safe to assume that India is the land in which Elephant Treasure is set judging by the style of the temple that frames the reels and by the preponderance of elephants of course, a sacred creature in Indian folklore.
There’s a lot of red and gold to take in as you play this slot, but the relentless assault of these two rich colours is mercifully tempered, partly by the backdrop featuring blue skies and white clouds, and also by the playing card symbols. These have been designed with swirls of coloured paint like some kind of Chinese watercolour painting and are pleasing to behold. You’re unlikely to devote too much attention to their comeliness however, for these symbols aren’t worth much at all. It’s the gold coins and the wild you want to focus on, cos that’s where the money is.
Enter the Temple
In real life, most temples are dusty relics with little by way of treasure unless you count the odd antiquated piece of artwork. In the realm of slots, all temples are filled to overflowing with gold, jewels and all manner of other treasure. It’s as if the worship of God, be it the biblical one or the elephant one, has been overshadowed by the amassing of wealth beyond the imagination of mere mortals. Whatever the case, you’re not here to worship – you’re here to win, and win you shall if the gods are willing.
Elephant Treasure is a 20 payline slot, which is about average for a game of this nature, but there’s no ability to adjust the number of active paylines. One thing you can do however is adjust autoplay, even if it might take you a moment to figure out where RTG, those crafty devils, have hidden away. When you do locate it (hint: look up) you’ll discover that you can set autoplay as high as 100 spins if desired. There’s no missing the spin button, a giant yellow button with two red arrows. Give it a spin and off we go, with wins that subsequently appear on the board clearly highlighted and greeted with a pleasing sound that can best be described as the sound of success.
Old Gold
This old temple is fairly packing with gold, for not only is it formed out of the precious metal, but it’s packing with all manner of gold coins. There’s a gold coin with a punched square hole in the centre that appears as a symbol on the board and is worth 100 for 5. There’s also another symbol depicting a pair of gold coins in gold baskets, worth 120 for 5. Next up we have a golden toad with red eyes. This is a symbol that RTG have shamelessly plundered from their Golden Toad slot. The most valuable regular symbol, a golden elephant, is worth 300 for 5.
In terms of special symbols, there are three to speak of in this game. Scatter, an elephant’s head, replete with yet more gold and blue gemstones, will trigger 8 free spins with 3 in view. There’s wild, which appears as a gold and green crystal ball that appears to be in motion. It will substitute for all regular symbols. And then there’s a bonus symbol whose appearance will create a shower of coins and wilds and give you the opportunity to win up to 888x your bet.
Other Slots to Spin
The closest slot to Elephant Treasure, visually at least, is Golden Toad, for not only do the two slots share certain symbols, but they look almost identical, save for the fact that different animals are involved. Golden Toad only has 10 paylines to Elephant Treasure’s 20 however and it doesn’t boast a bonus symbol. Lucky Easter is another slot that’s quite similar to Elephant Treasure, this one equipped with 20 paylines and rated as being medium to high variance, unlike the medium variance Elephant Treasure.
Elephant Treasure in Conclusion
Provided you don’t suffer a strange aversion to gold, there’s little to dislike about this RTG slot. It’s colourful, it’s fast-paced and it’s got the potential to furnish you with all the gold coins you could ever wish for. This is an easy slot to get into but a difficult one to extricate yourself from, for it feels strangely hypnotic and soothing spinning its reels and collecting coins and cards on seemingly every other spin. With three special symbols to watch out for, Elephant Treasure proves to have plenty to keep punters hooked and entertained for many an hour.
