Evil Elf

The holiday season is here, which means everything revolves around Christmas, celebration, giving presents, happy moments, Santa but also...

...elves and one of them is the main villain of this game, ready to destroy this Christmas!

The devs at Arcadem created a 5-reeled game for Oryx's platform, offering 25 bet ways, as well as two main bonus games – Free Spins and Bonus Picking.

Theme and Symbols

When you load the game, you will find yourself in the middle of a town, with a frozen lake and numerous trees covered in snow in the front, while behind them, there are houses with their lights on, since the action takes place at night.

Except for beautiful graphics, the game also boasts some animations in the form of snowflakes and a spooky theme-related soundtrack perfectly accompanying the action, together with some sound effects.

The reels are formed of light-blue blocks, each featuring a polar bear in different positions in the background, while on them you will see playing card symbols from 10 to A, followed by other theme-related symbols such as candy cane, elf police, Santa and Frostberries.

The Wild symbol is a green block with the word written on it, while there are also two feature symbols – the sleigh Scatter and the presents Bonus symbols.

Betting Options and Other Functions

With its MEDIUM variance and an RTP of 96.03%, you can win up to 10000x your total stake!

The game has five reels and 3 rows, with symbols paying left to right only!

When it comes to regular symbols, you will find playing card symbols in different colours as the lowest-rewarding ones, paying 6.67x or 8x the stake for 5 in a combo, while...
