Electric Samby NYX Interactive

Electric Sam from Elk Gaming is a different kind of slot that looks a little unique than what you may be used to. Yes, it pretty much plays the same as most slots you have seen before. But, its what’s been added and the style of the slot that separate it from the norm.

The theme is fresh with an odd take on holidays. Specifically, Christmas. You will notice Christmas lights, stockings and other symbols that resemble a holiday theme in the background. The slot itself is quite interesting with a neon feel that reminds of those neon beer signs you see in a pub. The main character – Sam, turns everything electric and lights up the symbols with his powers.

Other interesting and unique aspects of the game will pop up everywhere. From its symbols that perform special features, and the innovative betting strategy option that lets you use a betting pattern when playing.

Let’s find out everything there is to know about Electric Sam.

Electric Sam Rules

Electric Sam is a 3x5 slot with 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols. It uses the 243 ways to win structure that lets you have numerous possibilities to make a winning spin. So long as at least 3 symbols are adjacent to one another on the reel, it makes a win.

The game play is a little odd and awkward at first. This is only because it’s not designed like 99% of the slots out there. Once you get used to it, it works well.

To lower and raise your bet, you need to click on the bet amount where you are taken to a screen that lets you choose exactly how much to bet. All bets use 100 coins with smallest bet amount starting at $0.002 per coin. The largest coin bet is $1 per coin.

Using 100 coins puts the minimum bet at just $0.20 per spin. With the maximum being $100 per spin. You can see there’s a wide range of bet amounts that will allow any bankroll to play Electric Sam.

Electric Sam Betting Strategies

The betting strategies is a way to preset your bet amounts using 3 distinct patterns.

Jumper
The jumper pattern will raise your bet by 1 level after each spin for 10 spins. After the 10th spin, it goes back to the original bet amount and repeats the pattern.

Leveler
This pattern will raise your bet level after you lose 5 spins in a row up to 10x your original bet. If you win a spin, the bet amount goes back to the original amount.

Booster
The booster pattern is designed to recoup losses by raising your bet level after any losing spin. Once a winning spin occurs, the bet amount goes back to normal.

I haven’t played too much with the betting patterns as I prefer to play the same amount all the time, but I can see how it would be advantageous to use. Elk Gaming slots such as this one are the only slots I have seen with this betting strategy option.

Electric Sam Symbols

The standard symbols look much like fruit symbols from a classic fruit slot. There are 4 fruit symbols that all pay the same. There’s also a 7 and a bell symbol.

The bell symbol acts as the scatter awarding free spins. The wild symbol is the Electric Sam logo.

During regular spins, you will see 3 characters, Maggie, Sandra and Sam. These act as normal, paying symbols, but change their powers during free spins.

Electric Sam Free Spins

Three bell will trigger 5 free spins. Four awards 10; and 5 will award you with 15. During free spins, the 3 character symbols will have unique characteristics.

Electric Sam will go electric when 3 or more land and turn a random symbol into a sticky wild that stays on the reels for all remaining free spins.

Sandra will award up to a 10x multiplier if 3 or more land.

Maggie is my favorite as she will explode random symbols clearing the board and making way for new symbols to drop in their place. This is basically a re-spin that gives you a second shot at winning.

Its Electrifying

Electric Sam is fun and fresh. Once you get accustomed to the different style of play, it becomes addictive. It looks good and plays well given the different design. It can be played as both a flash version and a download version too.

All the extra features make it one of the more versatile slots on the market that is well worth a spin.
