Illogicool Review

While Tropicool took you to a snowy “beach paradise” on an island close to Antarctica, this second installment in ELK’s ‘cool’ series comes with a cosmic setting. You’re taken inside a spaceship with a planet in the background, and the visuals are a mix of photo-realistic portraits of a male and female in Star Trek suits, as well as more cartoonish critters, computers, zapper guns and drones.

The Cool Reel sits on top of the regular 6x6 grid, and it slides in regular symbols and feature symbols that can drop down at the end of cascading sequences. The most notable feature symbol is the so-called Troubles, and these cute little critters can wreak havoc by spreading to regular symbols and transforming them into matching symbols. You can trigger the Super Bonus Round organically in this sequel, which is good, but the 95 % RTP might be a deal-breaker for some players.

Illogicool Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 0.6 and 2 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and you got 3 different wilds we’ll take a closer look at below. All wilds step in for regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations however, and the wilds hold no value of their own.

The Cascading mechanic removes winning symbols from the grid, and existing symbols will then drop down to fill the gaps. This continues as long as you keep winning, and symbols from the Cool Reel above the grid will then drop down once the winning streak is over. The Cool Reel contains both regular symbols and feature symbols, and the latter triggers the corresponding modifier.

The Troubles feature triggers when the fluffy purple critters drop from the Cool Reel, and these creatures change symbols into matching symbols.

This is a sort of mystery symbol feature in other words, and you also have a Double Trouble feature that spreads to and transforms even more symbols.

Regular pay symbols, as well as Wilds and Locked Wilds, are active even if they remain on the Cool Reel, and the Locked Wild remains in play for 3 wins before it’s removed. Monster Wilds only trigger when they drop from the Cool Reel, and they expand up and down to cover non-winning pay symbols.

The Bonus or Super Bonus rounds trigger when you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 bonus or super bonus scatters in view, and this awards 10, 15, 20 or 25 free drops, respectively. The Super Bonus Round comes with a starting win multiplier of x5, x10,x15, x20, x25 or x30 when you trigger the feature with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 super bonus scatters, and both scatter types can combine to trigger the feature.

You get 2 extra symbols that can appear in the Cool Reel during the bonus round, and Extra Drop symbols award 1, 2 or 5 extra free drops. The Win Multiplier symbol adds +1, +2 or +3 to the global win multiplier that’s active on all free spins.

The X-iter Feature Buy menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not for UK players for sure. Here’s an overview of what you can expect:

• Guaranteed win - pay 5x your stake for some kind of win.
• Locked Wilds - pay 10x your stake for a round with at least 3 locked wilds.
• Troubles - pay 25x your stake for a round with at least 2 adjacent Double Troubles.
• Buy Bonus - pay 100x your stake to get 3-6 bonus scatters, which triggers the bonus round.
• Super Bonus - pay 500x your stake to get the same as above, but with at least 2 guaranteed Super Bonus scatters which starts you off with at least an x10 win multiplier.

Review Summary

The visual presentation might be somewhat of an acquired taste this time from ELK, due to the somewhat incongruent mix of photo-realistic characters and cartoonish symbols. The gameplay itself is also a bit below par compared to what we’ve learned to expect from this developer, although the Troubles feature can make a dent at certain times together with the different wild features.

We liked the predecessor release, Tropicool, better than this follow-up, and this goes for both the gameplay and the visuals. However, being able to trigger the Super Bonus Round organically is much appreciated, not least for UK players, and you can win up to 10,000x your stake when the non-resetting multiplier builds to a decent level. Perhaps not the best we’ve seen from ELK, but still way above the average releases that are churned out every month.

Pros

• Cool Reel w/ regular and modifier symbols
• Troubles mystery symbol feature
• FS & Super FS w/ progressive win multiplier
• X-iter Feature Buy menu (not for UK players)
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• 95 % RTP is well below average
