Orc vs Elf

The release of Orc vs Elf slot in December 2013 marked the beginning of a new era for Realtime Gaming, having decided to jump on the bandwagon of 3D slots. Their first interactive game of many to come is quite impressive and it ensured the players are in the driving seat as they can alter the storyline and potential winnings by selecting from two paths as well as opting to play a certain feature or continue their journey.

Before playing Orc vs Elf for the first time you need to download the game, but that is unlikely to be a problem as its size is 341mb. Players are then required to select their champion, Orc or Elf, which will in turn see them embark on The Trail to Orcholome or The Road to Elveros. Use up and down arrows next to the bet button to select your total wager before pressing spin or auto play to start.

Orc symbol appearing on reel 1 covers the entire reel to become Expanding Wild, whereas Elf icon occurring on reel 5 also acts as Expanding Wild. Depending on the path you selected, either Orc Shield or Elf Shield act as Scatter, with three of these in any position unlocking one of the 14 features, while also awarding Scatter payouts. Players also have an option to store the feature and play it at any time before the next trigger.

This particular video slot is played at fixed 25 paylines, but the players can select between no less than 13 different coin values. This basically means you can bet $0.25, $0.50, $0.75, $1, $1.25, $1.50, $1.75, $2, $2.25, $2.50, $6.25, $12.50 or $25 per spin, with bet per line ranging from $0.01 to $1.

With so many special features available, it is hardly surprising that payouts in the main game are not over the top, but they are still decent enough to count. Maximum coin jackpot during base play is 1,000 coins and it is awarded when five building icons or five castle symbols are scattered on any of the twenty five active paylines.

Aptly-designed game icons help create a unique atmosphere on the game screen, with castle, building, wolf, horses, battle flag, flower-shaped broach, skulls, magic potion, flail and crossbow all populating the reels as regular symbols. On top of that, Orc, Elf, Orc Shield, Elf Shield and Bonus are in place to activate numerous special features.

If you are playing the Orc mode, three or more Orc Shield scattered in any position trigger one of the following features: Goblin’s Gold, Hobgoblin, Orc Army, Orc Horde, Giant Spins, Chaos Spins or Orc Onslaught. Playing in Elf mode will see three or more Elf Shields activated one of seven features: Woodland Spins, Elf Magic, Huntsman, Ancient Archer, Archmage, Forestal or Elf King.

Battle Bonus is triggered when three Bonus icons appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. If an Orc wins the battle, Goblin’s Gold features is awarded, whereas if he loses, Woodland Spins is awarded. A defeat pays out 2x to 10x your total bet. The winner also gets one Victory Point, with three points awarding an additional feature.
