Elixir of Wealth

Elixir of Wealth: Slot Overview

Imagine for a moment that it is possible for someone to consume an elixir, and all of a sudden, they're wealthy. Just like that, they've gone from rags to riches, and the more they drink, the wealthier they get. Now, back in the real world, wealth is generally much harder to come by. Unless a major lottery win or a windfall inheritance comes your way, a bit of luck mixed with a lot of hard graft is typically required. An online slot win might help, and Yggdrasil Gaming partner Jelly's online slot Elixir of Wealth supplies a potential pathway to payouts via a multiplier-laden route accompanied by free spins.

An explorer on a motorbike provides a bit of eye candy appeal to entice certain punters towards Elixir of Wealth. She's got a sort of Cat Wilde meets intense CrossFit training sessions appearance, who would have no trouble defeating armchair warriors in an arm wrestle, and a knife strapped to her leg suggests this lady is ready for danger. A densely vegetated environment is where the danger may present itself in a game that brought images of Gonzo's Quest to mind. A solid start is produced by the decent if somewhat overdone graphics, given life by an intrepid explorer who looks like she's up for a daring adventure.

You don't need a motorbike helmet to join her, but you will need to pick a stake where the range is 10 c to $/€40 per spin. Another gambling option is the Gold Bet, which jacks the base bet up by 50% to get a better chance of triggering the bonus. Jelly has classed Elixir of Wealth's volatility as high, and it comes in two RTP versions: 94% and 90.5%.

Elixir of Wealth gets to work on a 5-reel gaming grid, each reel holding 3 rows and providing 243 ways to win. All regular wins begin from the leftmost reel and are made up of nine different pay symbols. The low-value group are clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts, paying 1-1.5x the bet for 5-of-a-kind. Paying 2 to 10 times the bet for 5-of-a-kind are the higher value tins of beans, lamps, backpacks, books, and skulls. Elixir symbols may become wild on any reel, completing winning ways by substituting for any regular pay symbol.

Elixir of Wealth: Slot Features

Search this jungle hard enough, and you may just bump into a Multiboost feature, Lose to Win, free spins with a persistent Multiboost multiplier, Elixir Super Spins, and a feature buy.

Multiboost

Landing 1 or 2 Elixir symbols in the base game triggers the Multiboost feature. The Elixir symbols become wilds and activate an x2 multiplier below the reel. Multipliers multiply each other. The total Multiboost multiplier applies to all wins on the spin when activated.

Lose to Win

Any losing spin without an Elixir symbol may trigger the Lose to Win. This adds 1 or 2 Elixir symbols to the reels and guarantees a win.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Elixir symbols in the base game transforms them into scatter symbols, triggering 8, 10, or 14 free spins, respectively. These scatters do not reveal wild multipliers. Elixir symbols only become wild multipliers in free spins, activating the x2 multiplier below their respective reel. The total Multiboost multiplier is persistent in free spins, too, and is applied to any win when a wild multiplier is triggered. You can land up to 2 wild multipliers on a reel, making the multiplier x4. Reel multipliers persist for the duration of the round. Multipliers under each reel multiply each other to give the total Multiboost multiplier - up to x1,024. One Elixir symbol may land per reel on a single spin, and a maximum of 2 may land on any reel during the bonus.

Elixir Super Spin

If an Elixir symbol lands on each reel during the round, an Elixir Super Spin is awarded at the end of the free spins session. For the super spin, the Multiboost multiplier is applied to any win.

Free Spins Buy

Players can pay 100 times the base bet to buy their way into the free spins feature from the base game.

Elixir of Wealth: Slot Verdict

The first thought after a quick look over Elixir of Wealth's info was that it was going to be a Multifly! copy. However, while there are connections, the total Elixir of Wealth package has its own identity and particular way of functioning. The look is a little generic, this theme having been used often, but the lady in the bike boosts Elixir of Wealth's personality by adding a dynamic visual element. Multiboost is an attraction in its own right. Elixir of Wealth drops Multiboost teases in the base game, restricted there to 1 or 2 Elixir symbol generated multis, holding its big guns back for the free spins round, where all five reels are able to hold a multiplier value.

Up to x4 per reel might not sound enormous, but let's not forget that multipliers multiply each other for a theoretical top value of x1,024. That sort of figure is getting up there in DoubleMax territory, and it didn't take masses of Elixir symbols activating their respective reels to generate a useful total multiplier in free spins. With a monster of a multiplier on board, you can imagine how Elixir of Wealth might possibly hit or indeed smash its 5,000x the bet max win ceiling. In fact, raising the max win figure to compete with the MultiMax and DoubleMax slots of the world might have been interesting.

As it stands, Elixir of Wealth is quite interesting in its current form, though the limited RTP range cools the excitement - to the point some may question the wisdom of choosing Elixir of Wealth over a game like Multifly!. Elixir of Wealth does things differently to the slots it appears to be related to, or inspired by, or whatever, but whether it does them better is questionable.
