I don’t know whether you had the opportunity to watch Dune, a popular movie where the main character is living on a dangerous planet covered in deserts. Well, when I started testing the Rotating Element slot, I felt like Paul Atreides when he was looking for sandworms.
The base game is played in a desert, with nothing but sand and a cloudy sky surrounding you. Maybe you should consider getting one of those nose tubes to collect as much moisture as you can, eh? Only the Dune fans will understand this one.
We all know that nature consists of 4 elements – fire, land, earth, and water. But, what would happen if we added a 5th element? No, you will not see Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich here. The 5th element here is the Rotating Element.
It appears only on the central spot of the grid and has 2 functions – acting as Wild and rotating all symbols 90 degrees clockwise. The 4 elements act as regular symbols. The desert flower is the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature and takes you to another, more green world.
The rules of the Rotating Element slot are far from complicated. The BGaming product is played on a 5×5 grid and benefits from 25 fixed paylines. The 2024 release pays left to right, beginning from the far-left reel. 3-of-a-kind is the minimum for landing payouts.
Betting starts at $0.10 per spin. The maximum wager is $50. Autoplay allows an unlimited number of automatic spins, which can give you some time to rest while the machine does all the work. The BGaming title is of medium volatility and offers 5,000x maximum payout. Rotating Element RTP is 97.19%.
Even though, at first glance, it may seem that the Rotating Element pokie does not offer that many additional features, you will be surprised how fun the 2024 release can be. The base game comes with the Rotating feature, which may occur on any spin.
Once you enter the Free Spins feature, you will find that the Rotating feature comes with certain boosts, which include more rotations within a single spin, and the increasing win multiplier. So, here, you will get to have a taste of Sticky Wilds and Wild Multipliers.
It is triggered during the base game each time the Rotating Element lands on the central position of the grid. When that happens, the Rotating Element, which is also a Wild, first gives you any possible winnings from the spin. After that, it rotates the entire grid 90 degrees clockwise. After that, payouts are also given if there are new winning combos.
Lady Luck was on my side when I tested the Rotating Element slot and the Wild appeared frequently in the base game, rewarding me with solid payouts. My biggest base game win included the Rotating feature and I got 12x.
When you land 3, 4, or 5 Scatters on the reels, you trigger the Free Spins feature and get 5, 7, or 10 free spins, respectively. During the feature, the Rotating Element will appear in the central position in every free spin. He will turn into a Sticky Wild.
That is not all because, before every free spin, you will be rewarded with 1-3 rotations per spin. This means that the Rotating Element can rotate the entire grid up to 3 times per free spin, securing you multiple payouts per spin. Furthermore, each rotation increases the Wild Multiplier. It starts at 1x and can get as big as 100x.
With 3+ extra Scatters, you get additional free spins, which does not affect the Wild Multiplier in any way. Well, I have to be honest and say that I triggered free spins several times and I never got extra free spins. The most I got was 7 free spins, a 15x Wild Multiplier, and a total win of 95.40x.
If you want to buy free spins, it will cost you 80x the bet. Each time I tried the option, it gave me 5 free spins, no retriggers, and low Wild Multipliers, up to 5x. My biggest win was 13.30x. Therefore, I do not recommend the Bonus Buy option.
BGaming did a tremendous job with the visuals. I really felt like I was on Arrakis with Paul Atreides. The soundtrack is also very good and fits the theme perfectly.
Rotating Element pokie looks simple but crisp. Since I am an action junkie, I have to say that the game lacks features.
However, the incorporated extras will keep you busy, that’s for sure. The Free Spins feature can prove to be extremely generous, especially if you manage to retrigger the feature.
The Wild Multiplier goes up with every new rotation, which can bring you rewarding payouts.
All in all, I had plenty of fun with the Rotating Element slot and I rate it 8.0.
