Giraffalot Demo (Elk Studios) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

If you were around in mediaeval times and wanted to go and enjoy a spectator sport, it’s almost a certainty you would go and watch some jousting, which was an incredibly dangerous sport enjoyed mainly by knights, noblemen and royalty of all ranks. So, you’re probably expecting to rub shoulders with the likes of Henry VIII today, but instead Elk Studios have switched out humans for animals in their Giraffalot slot, a 5-reel game with 26 paylines, full reel wilds, free spins, and a maximum win of 10,000x.

Theme & Design

The title of the game ‘Giraffalot’ is clearly a play on words from Elk, with regard to Camelot, a legendary castle and court associated with King Arthur. This is obviously what the provider has used for inspiration in this release, with a castle visible in the background and the characters on the reels resembling royalty, dignitaries and battle-hardened warriors. As always with Elk Studios, the graphics look sharp, and you can tell this is a game that has been designed by one of the tier-one game developers within the industry.

We’ll talk more about the gameplay shortly, but before we do, let’s give you a couple more popular Elk releases to try out if today’s review doesn’t suit your style of play. I’m going to opt for two of their most iconic releases to date, so get your jolly roger at the ready and set sail in our Pirots 3 demo and Pirots 4 demo slots, two high volatile games with big jackpot prizes.

Giraffalot Gameplay & Features

Elk Studios’ Giraffalot is a 5-reel, 4-row online slot with 26 paylines and a below-average RTP of 94%. Those wishing to spin the reels in our free demo or for real money can do so from a minimum of €0.20 a spin up to a maximum of €100.

It’s over to the features, and Giraffalot is a game that is all aboutwild symbols, with several variations able to land within the gameplay. These are:

• Expanding Wilds: Substitute for all regular paying symbols, may include a multiplier, expand to cover the entire reel on landing, and award 1 respin. During the respin, wilds, bonus symbols, and spreading wilds remain sticky. New Expanding Wilds grant another respin, but only one respin is awarded per spin outcome.

• Spreading Wilds: Land on reel 3. On activation they either convert one high-value symbol type to wilds, increase multipliers on previously converted wilds, or increase the multiplier of an expanded Expanding Wild. They may retrigger within the same round and reactivate during respins.

• Wild Combo: If a spreading-created wild is present on the same reel as an expanding wild when it expands, the entire reel becomes wild, and the combined multiplier from all wilds on that reel applies to wins involving those wilds.

Lastly, we come to the free spins round, triggered when bonus symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, respectively. During the bonus, Expanding Wilds can land on reels 1, 2, 4, and 5 and award respins as in the base game.
