The Elf Wars Slots
The Elf Wars slot is something else. I thought this might be focused on medieval, fantasy video game type of elves, especially when war is involved. Of course, years of watching Lord of The Rings probably conditioned me into thinking that. I was surprised to find Elf Wars is actually about the sort of elves who help Santa make toys for good little boys and girls all other the world at Christmas time. In truth, I was equally intrigued, especially because Santa's Elves are rarely depicted as violent creatures.
Apparently, after years of slaving away, and making toys, the elves can get a little restless. This game is played on five reels and 50 total pay lines. All of these pay lines are fixed, so cannot be adjusted at any point during gameplay. There are a variety of Christmas themed symbols on this slot, like Santa's Naughty List, a Christmas pudding, and the welcome sign to the north pole. There are also military style symbols. If you needed evidence this wasn't your average Christmas slot, the proof is in the pudding. There are military aircraft and tanks, along with bombs and barbed wire. I didn't realize elves take things so seriously!
Basics

The Christmas toys are worth 750 coins and the snowman pays out 1,000 coins for a match of five. Steal the sign for the north pole and claim 1,5000 coins!
Special Features
Elf Wars has two scatter symbols, and two wilds. The wild symbols pay out 2,000 coins for a match of five, and one of them is Santa while another is Rudolph dressed as a military general. It only makes sense for Rudolph to play this role for me, so I loved every minute of this. Like most wilds, these symbols substitute for all other symbols except for the good and bad elf symbols, which are the games scatters. Players will earn an 8x multiplier when you land four scatter symbols, or a 100x multiplier if you land five. You can also trigger a respin if you land two or more good or bad Elve symbols that appear on the board. If you land three scattered elf symbols, you'll trigger either the Santa Strikes Back feature or the Jackpot Spins feature. There's also the Rudolph's Revenge and Rudolph's Rampage features.
