ashoka slot THEME, STAKES, PAYS & SYMBOLS

ELK is an interesting developer; that much is for sure! Their games are almost always packed to bursting with bonus rounds and special features, making them quite the task to review in depth! Take their recent Propaganda or Avalon Gold releases, for example – fantastic games for sure, but I sometimes end up feeling a little bit confused by the multitude of things listed within the (often more than a dozen page long) rules and paytable pages. This latest release is another feature-packed machine, but it isn’t quite as over the top as other recent games. As for the Ashoka theme, that’s definitely an interesting one – I don’t know of any other similar games, that’s for sure!

The highest-paying combinations offered in this game are awarded for hitting 15 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels. The biggest prize of the lot is 100x the total bet and is paid for 15 or more wild cat symbols. The rest of the high-paying symbols are much less interesting – coloured geometric shapes that feel a bit out of place in a game with this sort of theme. The red square will get you 50x your bet for a maximum 15 symbol combo, whilst the yellow, green, and blue shapes will get you 30x, 20x, or 15x, respectively. As for the low pays, these have been colour coordinated to match the more valuable symbols; 15 Aces or Kings will return 5x the current stake, whilst the Queens and Jacks are a tad less valuable at 3x each. Whilst there’s nothing hugely exciting about the prizes offered here, it’s worth mentioning that all symbols are stacked on the reels too. 

Sadly, the usual problem with ELK’s recent machines rears its ugly head here. The minimum/maximum bet limits are fine at €0.20 and €100.00, respectively, but there is a severe lack of intermediate options for those who like to play somewhere in between.

base game & modifiers

The playfield used in Ashoka is unlike any other game I can recall playing before – there are six columns of eight rows each, but many of the available positions are filled with blockers on most spins. The only other games I can think of that use a similar setup are the ‘Temple Tumble' slots, which I suspect this game is heavily based on!

ashoka slot bonus features

Bonus scatter symbols can appear on all six reels in Ashoka, but you’ll only need to hit three to trigger the main bonus round. Strangely, I couldn’t find any mention of a benefit to hitting more than three scatters – the paytable doesn’t tell you anything as far as I could see. This is a real shame if there is no benefit to hitting more than three trigger symbols!
