About Phoenix Graveyard
Phoenix Graveyard is a 6-reel video slot with 4.069 winning ways. It’s available on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices from 20p up to £100 per spin. The RTP is 95% which is slightly below the industry average but standard for Elk slots, however, volatility is high, with a top prize of 10,000x the bet.
Set in a Phoenix town, any inhabitants rebelling against the tyranny of the major and his wife are sent the Grim Reaper, and their only hope of salvation is the Phoenix. The overall look is dark with an immersive eerie atmosphere created in high definition.
The symbols are displayed in a gothic style and include low-value card suits, with the high values represented by various characters, a blue musician, a red female, and a golden character who pays the highest awarding 4x for 5 on a payline.
Included in the game are three different wilds. The Grim Reaper is a walking wild, the Phoenix Wild which acts as a substitute for all symbols, and a Feather Wild which appears in one of the bonus features. (More about these later)
Gameplay
There are many features in Phoenix Graveyard, here they are in order:
Sudden Death Feature – Tombstone frames with numbers attached can appear around symbols in the base game and the free spins feature. The symbol with a frame is multiplied by the number on the tombstone frame.
Battle Feature – If a Grim Reaper lands next to a Phoenix symbol the Battle feature triggers, these two engage in a battle and there are three outcomes as to who wins:
A multiplier is awarded if the Phoenix wins
The multiplier is doubled if the Grim Reaper wins
If the Phoenix escapes, it jumps to a new position and leaves a Feather wild in its place
Respin Feature – The Grim Reaper wild triggers the respins. It’s a walking wild and when it lands it remains in its position and a respin is awarded. On each respins the wild moves a position to the left, each time it moves position another respin is awarded. During the feature, the Grim Reaper can slice through other symbols which triggers the Sudden Death feature.
Free Spins – The scatter is a Phoenix statue, landing 3, 4, or 5 of these triggers 6, 8, or 10 free spins along with a 1, 2, or 3 Phoenix wilds. These wilds remain in position for the duration of the free spins.
