Elf and Safety Introduction
Watch out, it's the Elf and Safety brigade. The warning sign in fluorescent yellow with a black background is a lovely, humorous touch to get you in a good mood to play this pokie. The start-up is bound to put a smile on your face, with the little elves chattering at high speed as they whizz around trying to get everything ready for Christmas.
There is a bright alarm clock that sets off the free spins if you find three on the screen. The wild symbol is a gift-wrapped present, which substitutes any other symbol except the free spin.
Will you unwrap an early Christmas present?
The reels are really colourful, with Christmas trees and stockings on the side and snow falling outside the windows. The symbols are bright but old-fashioned, with the old alarm clock, skateboard, robot and building blocks with letters on them. Hit the menu and you can choose how to play Elf and Safety.
You can turn the sound on or off, make a cash deposit, have turbo on or off, go to the lobby to set up an account, and find out all about the game's features. This pokie is designed for mobiles; therefore, there are few option buttons to press. It is easy to start playing - simply select your stake and how many lines you wish to play before hitting the spin button.
Payouts vary from 15 times your wager up to 1,000 times, which means you can enjoy an early Christmas present if the elves bring you luck. The 10 and Jack building blocks are worth the least and net 15 times your wager for three and an impressive 70 times for all five. The elf and safety symbol is the highest value and pays 100 times for three and an impressive 1,000 times for all five.
There are 20 paylines, so there are many ways to hit a winning combination. You can choose to play for as little as one payline with a 0.01-coin bet or play all 20 lines with a maximum bet of one coin per line.
It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas
Hit the spin button and the music starts up, which adds to the jolly Christmas feel. Elf and Safety gives us a sneaky peak into Santa's workshop, with the elves rushing around to make sure all those gifts are wrapped and ready to go on Santa's sleigh.
The 3D visuals and graphics are really bright and charming, especially when you get a winning spin and two of Santa's little helpers hold up a banner with the total prize; in addition, rather than the reels spinning from top to bottom, they run from left to right as if on a conveyor belt.
This is a lovely touch to add to the festive factory feel. Nektan, which is a fairly new name in online pokie machine games, uses the latest technology to create eye-catching and fun games. There is also a mobile version so that you can play on the go on your phone or tablet.
