Lakes Five Introduction
This game has a coin bet range of between $0.20 and $100, allowing you to bet up to 20 coins in a spin. The game has five reels across a 5x5 table and offers a stunning 178 ways to win. There’s an exciting Free Spins bonus round, plus a re-spins feature. As with all ELK games, Lake’s Five is one of the more slick and tastefully designed pokie games on the market.
The reels are set against the backdrop of a city skyline at night with Romano Tower clearly in view to the left of the reels. The basic symbols are made up of the five accomplices of Mr Lake, with Genie the Goldfish being the highest earner. A medical bag and goldfish bowl symbol are two further winners. Bonus Symbols include Mr Lake himself, who acts as the Wild Symbol.
The Wild is a substitute symbol that substitutes for all other symbols except for the Scatter or Bonus Key. The Scatter is the game logo. Two or more of these trigger the re-spins feature, during which the scatters turn into the Mr Lake Wild symbol, substituting for all except the bonus key during the re-spins. The reels with the wilds move one step down with each re-spin.
Three scatter symbols anywhere on the screen will trigger the Heist Bonus Feature Game. For this feature the scatter symbols will turn into Bonus Key symbols and trigger 10 Free Spins. Additional Bonus Keys will award extra free spins. During the Free Spins feature, keys will be collected on reels 1, 3 and 5, awarding Sticky, Climbing or Walking Wilds as they come and releasing the captured monkey.
The Walking Wild walks one reel to the right for each spin., the Sticky Wild stays in place for remaining spins, whilst the Climbing Wild moves up one row with each spin. If any wild walks, or climbs, into another, then a multiplier is generated for the next spin.

Betting Strategies

This includes the Optimizer Strategy, where players choose either 1%, 2%, 5% or 10% and each spin will be wagered based on this percentage of the player's balance. The Jumper is a strategy which means you will be raised one bet level after each win, up to four levels from the base bet - the level resets to base after a loss.
Or you may choose the Booster Strategy. If you select the Booster, the opposite happens and bet levels are raised up to four levels after a loss, returning to base level after a win. The Leveller Strategy raises the bet by two levels after five consecutive losses and resets after a win.
