Now ive tried it. A few hundred spins on low bet.
It looks good, but not impressed so far though... :(
I got lots of 3 avalanches, but no 4 that is needed for the bonus.
Think it would have been better with ordinary bonus symbols instead.
 
Tried this slot in free play. It takes a miracle to get 4 wins and trigger the feature. Playing $1 spins, I managed to trigger the first feature after about 400 spins. It paid 16x bet... Ok.. Played another 400 .. Triggered the feature and got an Error.. (The usual 'This game is currently unavailable'). Being in FREE mode, I had to restart the game and my Free Spins were gone. I then left it on autoplay for about another 300 - 400 spins - No feature. I lost $500 in fun money with the biggest hit of $75 (After I had lost $350)

The concept of the falling symbols is very similar to Gonzos Quest but if you think its easy to get 4 wins on a single spin you sincerely have something coming :) - Gonzo Enthusiasts be warned, its NOTHING like Gonzos Quest and far from easy.

I agree with the previous poster, being fancy does not make a good slot. This slot looked like it had potential, I actually just got irritated with the small wins (NetEnt style) of 2-5 x bet and spinning away for hundreds of spins and not getting anywhere ... Not getting anywhere is one thing... I sincerely get pissed off If it takes a cumulative 800 spins to trigger a feature twice. To top it off, you win 16x Bet. It seems pretty obvious the feature does not trigger naturally because you will often find yourself with all the right symbols to make the final hit and it throws you garbage... over and over.. You will get the 4th hit on the next spin 90% of the time.

Maybe it has potential in the Free spins, I'm certainly not going to throw money at this to try and see. I got irritated and tired playing this game. Oh btw - The game does no have any wilds on reel 1 (sorry to the 5 Wild enthusiasts)

Maybe its for KK :) I'm sure he will LOVE it.:D

Got to agree with the above. I've played it a lot and really want to love this slot but it takes far too long to trigger a bonus which has paid me less than 20x stake every time. I've given up on it now.

Disco spins again very difficult to get a bonus which ultimately paid 8x stake 3 times I played it.

Lucky angler is definitely my favourite of the new ones, some real big hits on there which you just don't feel you're ever going to get close to on elements.

Shame as its a great looking slot but the small wins and lack of bonus rounds make it one I won't play again.
 
I know i shouldnt, but i tried it again just now on the lowest bet. At first i didnt get any winning rows at all, then suddenly (after 20 spins) i got 3 avalanches & then 4... :eek:
I thought that it was going to show how good a game it can be now... :D but noooo.... x20 on the 10 free spins with the earth storm wilds... :(
I got back what i had played for, but thats it...
Im sure it can more.:cool:

Same as I have found - 3 wins then garbage, 3 wins then garbage, rinse and repeat.

However, if as you say the feature does not trigger naturally, then actually how random is this game?

There are a few other games out there that also require the 4th win to trigger a feature, and like Elements, they also do not seem to trigger naturally.

In fact, if they did, the potential to constantly win would be tremendous.

So there must be something in there to prevent this happening.

So I ask again....how does this 'preventative technique' tally with games being random?

Unless of course, you just think it is bad luck the 4th spin constantly doesn't win. :rolleyes:

I would assume it doesn't trigger naturally given my experience.. like you said 3 wins and rinse and repeat... really annoying. Its true that there would be far too many features if something to prevent this wasn't in place... Well, the programmers know best and I'll be speculating if I had to comment :D

Elements is now live at Nordicbet :D

I am sure it will be live very soon at Redbet as well.

I have been playing it in fun mode the last week and I absolutely love this game. I have been disappointed by several NetEnt games this year, but Elements is very very cool.
 
Got lots of free spins today on Elements. :thumbsup:

Got the Bonus 10 free spins with Water Storm Wild this time. Can be good im sure, but i didnt have any luck & only won 10x the bet...

My impression is still that this game looks good & can be good, but just isnt...(atleast not for me so far) :(

Elements™

Video Slot

Elements: The Awakening™ is an explosive slot packed with features such as an Avalanche™ feature and 4 different Free Fall modes each with a different Wild. The Avalanche feature starts when a winning bet line appears. Symbols explode and disappear, leaving space for new Avalanches that fall into place on the columns.

The innovation is taken into a new ground with the Avalanche Meter function that has four crystals and lights up for every avalanche fall. If the player gets four successive Avalanches one of the 4 Free fall modes is triggered. The Avalanche Meter brings anticipation to the game and the players can’t wait to get the access to one of the Free Fall storms.

In Free Falls, the players are sure to be captivated by the excitement Elements offer. Wild symbols in Free Falls each have a different action, depending on which of the Free Fall modes is entered. From indestructible to expanding and random Wilds, the Free Falls offer a truly astonishing gaming experience.

Elements: The Awakening™ has a unique mass-market appeal and showcases storytelling, feature and animations of the highest quality.
 
played it at redbet today had three features on it 56x bet highest but im stuck on the fire on one got air for first feature, played ok for me until i pressed the wrong button went back on it didnt do any good anyway finished off with flowers to which burnt me bad again )
 
Maybe its for KK :) I'm sure he will LOVE it. :D

Literally just had my first play on Elements - and you're right - so far I love it! :thumbsup:
Low variance, lots of playtime, super graphics (apart from one minor glitch with the wilds in normal spins), fantastic concept from NetEnt... AGAIN!
Took me something over 200 spins to get my first feature - the Air one - but worth the wait: It went on and on and on and on...
Must have been about 5 minutes worth of spins - no BIG wins, but a nice total of bet x88 was very nice for my first go.

Will carry on & see if my opinion changes...

Still not sure about Disco Spins; Had quite a good run on it last night & hit several "biggies" in normal spins - but the free-spins were disappointing.
We'll see...

Elements is a brutal piece of shit, what a waste, returns suck, bonus rounds are near impossibe to get, I think Netent can do better than this.

I know, i'm bitter, I love the originality of the game, however I hate these low low variance games. I gave this game enough chance, played 3 different casinos, $350 in deposits, .60c spins and 1 bonus round, no win over 30x.

Well either you were very unlucky, or I was very lucky...
After my previous post in this thread I played on and got the Air Feature again 45 spins after the last one, then the Fire Feature just 4 spins after that! They both paid around the x20 level. Not long after I got the Water Feature; I thought this seemed the worst of the 4, only paying about bet x10 and not appearing to have the same sort of potential as the other 3 - but then, I've only had it once.
Then a bit later I went back to the slot and pretty quickly got the Earth Feature on a €3 spin & won over bet x100 (see Winner Screenshots).

Yes, this slot IS very low variance IMO, but the features are great! I love the way you only start with 10 free-spins, but if you keep winning you keep on getting more spins - very similar to Jack & the Beanstalk.

Interesting way the symbols are generated too; it seems clear to me that this slot does not have fixed reel-strips in the traditional sense and I strongly suspect they are generated in the same way that Jack Hammer works, with each individual symbol being randomly generated. I like this as it means all symbols can appear "stacked".

So far, this game gets a big :thumbsup: from me!

Agreed, what an awful slot. I can't even fathom how it makes any sort of RTP?

Bonus rounds are infrequent and seem incapable of paying anything big. Reel wins are pitiful; sure, you do get a lot of "low variance balance-sustaining wins", but the slot is equally happy to go 10-15 spins with no wins at all, and I'm not sure it's not even possible to get a big win on the reels!

They did a great job with the aesthetics, the game does look great. Who cares though if the whole experience is just a drain on your balance, with no potential for a big win?
 
This game is dividing a lot of opinion here, I wonder if the guys at Net Ent actually bother read what CM players are saying?

First impressions was that it looked really cool, loved the intro and also watched the youtube video that Rainmaker stuck up, so was pretty excited.

After 30 minutes, was ready to pull the plug on my machine. Nothing really gripped me, there was little to get excited about. The-movie like music started to get on my nerves and most importantly nothing more than about 15x in terms of wins :confused:

I will probably give it a longer sessions soon, but its gonna really need to do something drastically different for me to become a regular player of this slot.
 
Like Lucky Angler, I will reserve my play on this Slot to Free Spin / Deposit Offers. I wouldn't want to to wager my own money on it - Sounds stupid but Id prefer a free spin offer like Redbet had on Lucky Angler... :D

I am just luckier with Free Spin offers for some odd reason. I can play this game in real money and not get the feature in 500 spins... I tried in Fun mode 3 times over about 3 Different days and Got the feature twice maybe did about 800 - 1000 spins.

I got the Free Spins on my First spin at Nordicbet today... Well, it was only 1 spin to begin with ... Paid about 11 Euros.

I don't think there's anything wrong with this slot in and of itself, I've chucked a substantial number of thousands of spins through it in free play mode now, but I wouldn't play it with real money.

(To get a real feel for how it plays, just strip it down to the absolute basics, quick spin with everything turned off, it licks along at a fair pace then.)

It's a low variance slot for sure, but not as ultra-low variance as Starburst. However, it doesn't wander up into the low-medium variance territory of Beach/Evolution either.

Basically, Elements seems to work with the vast majority of its 'substantial' hits being targeted at the 50-100x stake range, Starburst by contrast excels at 20-50x hits, and Beach/Evolution edge more towards the 100-150x range, with occasional branches out into 200-400x.

In short, unless you hit a real 'enriched period' on Elements, your bankroll is never going to edge upwards much, especially since NetEnt really seem to be penny-pinching on their RTPs these days, with elements rolling at a pretty meagre 96.0%.

It would potentially be a useful slot for wagering, but why use Elements when Bloodsuckers is available at 98.0% RTP, with a fairly similar variance?

Elements seems to combine all the worst aspects of NetEnt's slots into one unappealing package.

You get:

1) A low RTP by NetEnt standards (0.7% lower than Starburst).
2) Low variance with wins of over 100x stake being very rare, not quite as bad as Starburst, but not far off.
3) Even with everything stripped out as much as possible, it can be a slow slot to play, especially the interminable AIR STORM bonus round.

On the plus side, it looks and sounds gorgeous, but scratch that wonderful aesthetic gloss away, and there's nothing of any interest here for the serious slots player.

Sorry guys, no sale for me, not even remotely inclined to deposit real cash and have a go at this one.
