Introduction
Pink Elephants 2 is the follow up to Thunderkick's Pink Elephants pokie, which was released in 2017. Both games have similar features, and use the "243 ways" payline system. The "243 ways" system allows wins where the symbols appear on consecutive reels in any position. For most pokies, which have 5 reels and 3 rows, that would mean a total of 243 ways to win. Since Pink Elephants 2 has 6 reels with 4 rows, that means it has an amazing 4,096 winning lines.
Pink Elephants 2 - How to Play
Once Pink Elephants 2 has loaded, you'll see a splash screen with a basic overview of its top payout and its features. Click anywhere on the screen to access the reels.
1. To the bottom left of the screen, you'll see a menu button, where you can view the paytable and game rules
2. Next to the menu button, you can toggle the sound on or off, depending on your preference. If you're using the mobile version, you can also toggle vibrations.
3. Set the amount you want to wager, by clicking on the coin button to the left of the spin buttons. Betting options range from 0.10 to 100.00
4. If you prefer autoplay, set your preferences via the autoplay button. There's an option to end autoplay if a feature is won.
Pink Elephants 2 Graphics and Sound
The whole look and feel of Pink Elephants 2 hasn't changed much from that of its predecessor. Apart from a redesign of some of the characters in the symbols, the setting and the soundtrack, it's still a brightly coloured, dreamy looking game. The setting is inspired by the Himalayas, and if you look carefully, you can see the Pink Elephant face carved into the rocks in the distance. Luminous fireflies drift around the periphery of the screen, and the various mountain goat symbols blink at you lazily from their positions on the reels. Meanwhile, the Pink Elephant glows with its own aura and luminous eyes. The music draws its inspiration from the same region, and if you're playing a large number of autoplay rounds, the sound may start to become repetitive. The music during idle mode evokes a peaceful atmosphere. Listen out for the 'baaa' of the goats when you level up during the bonus game!
Overall, Thunderkick has done a good job, and while Pink Elephants 2's reels may not have some of the unusual quirks as some of the other Thunderkick online pokies, it delivers a great visual and audio experience as you play.
Pink Elephants 2 Bonus Game
The bonus game is triggered by 3 or more peanut scatter symbols. Up to 5 mystery scatters can also be triggered on any random spin, increasing the chances of a bonus game.
The number of scatters determines the number of free spins you'll be awarded.
3 peanuts = 7 free spins
4 peanuts = 11 free spins
5 peanuts = 15 free spins
6 peanuts = 19 free spins
Scatters also count when the bonus game is in play - 2 or more peanuts will boost the number of free spins you have remaining.
2 peanuts = 3 extra free spins
3 peanuts = 5 extra free spins
4 peanuts = 7 extra free spins
5 peanuts = 9 extra free spins
6 peanuts = 11 extra free spins
The object of the bonus game is to collect as many Elephant Orbs as possible, filling up meters for each of the mountain goat symbols. You need 10 Elephant Orbs to progress to the next level for bigger chances to win. If you complete the meter on the blue goat, all blue goats on the reels change to match the green goat, meaning that you've got a greater chance of getting green goat wins. Fill the meter on the green goat, and all green goats on the reels will become orange goats, giving even bigger chances of orange goat wins. Each time you level up, the fewer types of symbols there are, and with wilds still in play, there are chances for some big wins. If you're lucky enough to level up all the way, all symbols eventually become pink elephants for the remainder of your free spins.
Paytable
As with most pokies, Pink Elephants 2 has a wild which will substitute all symbols except the scatter. You can win 4,096 ways, as long as the same symbol appears on consecutive reels, starting from the far left. Payouts are expressed as multiples of your bet
