Ecuador Goldby ELK Studios

Enter the lost Temple of Luck hidden in the heart of the South American rainforest in the Ecuador Gold slot by Elk studios. Follow Kane, the explorer, and find some nice prizes that are buried inside of this ancient temple.

Theme

This is a really interesting game where the theme is inspired by the Inca Empire, one of the largest empires in pre-Columbian America.

It is accompanied by some nice, typical indigenous music…

…that adds to the overall mystic atmosphere of the game.

The highest-paying symbol in this Ecuador Gold release is Kane, an adventurer guy that is the main character of this slot.

Other symbols appearing in this slot are purple, blue and green Inca God, as well as some animal and Inca symbols.

All symbols in this game exist in four different sizes.

Betting Options

This is a 6 column, 4 rows slot where the symbols are dropping from the top of the screen. The columns might expand upward and make a total of 8 rows.

There are up to 262.144 ways to win in this game. It has 12 bet levels for each currency, while each bet is 100 coins.

Ecuador Gold slot has two modes: Normal and Bonus mode with free drops feature. In Normal mode…

…all drops start with 4 rows and 4096 ways to win.

You can activate betting strategies via Bet Level Selector. There is an Optimizer, Leveler, Booster and a Jumper. In Optimizer, bet level changes automatically, while adapting to the selected percentage of your balance.

The Leveler raises bet 2 levels after 5 consecutive losses. Repetition increases the bet 2 more levels and it resets after a win.

Booster raises bet 1 level after a loss until you reach 4 levels above base bet. It also resets after a win.

Jumper raises bet 1 level after each winning round until reaching 4 levels above base bets and it resets after a loss.

Features

Ghosting Wild symbols can drop in columns 3, 4, 5 and 6. When you get this Wild on the reels, it will change its position by moving a random number of steps and leave more Wilds behind it. Those wilds become sticky during the remaining drops.

When Avalanche feature gets triggered, all symbols that are a part of win start to explode, and then they leave space for more new symbols to drop. This feature keeps on going as long as you are getting new winning combos.

A Free Drops Bonus game is triggered when three or more Bonus symbols (Scatters) appear on the reels…

…and they can appear in all columns (one column can contain a maximum of two Bonus symbols).

Free drops can be retriggered and they always start with the safety level set to 4 rows. The minimum of 3 Bonus symbols will get you 10 Free drops, while 6 Bonus symbols award you with staggering 25 Free drops.

In the bonus game, the Safety level advances one row for every new Free drop initiated that brought you a win. Each new free drop then starts at the current active safety level.

There are also Super, Mega and Epic symbols…

…of size 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 that can drop down in any symbol drop. A bigger symbol clears away smaller symbols on its way downwards.

But, they don’t affect symbols of the same size, bonus symbols, and sticky wilds. In case a ghosting wild comes across Super and Mega symbols, it turns them into a Wild.

Our Take

We really enjoyed playing this slot, since it is quite an unusual one, especially because of the theme. But, the bonus features are what makes this game really fun to play.
