Sometimes players can tell when a slot design team is especially fond of one of their creations. This is the case with Thunderkick and their newest slot, Pink Elephants, which is based on the old-time expression for the visual distortions perceived by those who have drunk far, far too much alcohol. With its six reels, woozy, playful gaming, and delightful bonus feature, this slot invites players to overindulge in two vices for the price of one.
Theme
The world of Pink Elephants conjures up memories of Dumbo’s fever dream in the classic Disney film: everything is distorted, wild, yet somehow friendly. A gleaming pink wild symbol substitutes for other symbols in order to form winning combinations, while a sweaty peanut acts as scatter. The glowing outline of a peanut also appears in base play, acting as a mystery scatter symbol and increasing the chance of triggering the bonus feature. A massive purple elephant, tusks gleaming, is the highest-paying regular symbol, with a family of adorable furry, rodent-like creatures joining in the fun. The playing card values ace through nine provide the lower-value symbols. Charming animation serves as a bridge between base and bonus play modes.
Betting Options and Functions
Instead of traditional paylines, this slot pays out for all sets of consecutive symbols positioned from left to right, with 4096 unique ways to win. Bet per spin is adjusted simply from 0.10–100.00 times the betting currency, a range likely to please players of every bankroll. Autoplay can be engaged for up to 5,000 spins of the reels. All player interactions have been designed with elegance and simplicity in mind: game rules, paytable information, and sound options are accessible on the left side of the reels, while all spin and bet options are adjusted on the right. The theoretical return to player, 96.1%, comes in at about average for modern slots.
Features
Thunderkick’s team seems to be having a great time in this slot, but the proof is in the bonus feature. The peanut scatter symbol opens the way: between seven and 19 free spins will be awarded when three or more appear. Scatter symbols remain on the reels during the bonus feature, and can extend the round by adding as many as 11 additional free spins.
Bonus play resembles base play, with one delightful distinction. On the left side of the reels, the four rodent-like game symbols appear, each encircled by a symbol meter with ten available places. Elephant symbols now appear with a glowing trunk; each one that appears on the reels translates to one completed place on a symbol meter. When any one of the four meters is completely filled, its corresponding symbol is replaced by the higher-paying elephant on all reels for the remainder of the bonus feature, awarding an extra free spin to the total besides.
Our Take
Teetotalers and total lushes alike can enjoy Pink Elephants. With its unusual bonus feature and six reels, this slot has a different feel from most of its competition: the playful gaming element in emphasized, without in any way shortchanging players’ odds for big wins. This slot comes recommended – just don’t play while driving.
