The Diablo Reels slot can be found at casinos offering Elk Studios software. Elk Studios are a small but well-established casino software developer primarily focusing on the mobile market. At the present time they only offer slots games. Players should be aware that this software provider includes ‘betting strategies’ as an automated feature. These should be avoided. They offer no mathematical gain to the player and increase the risk of large losses in comparison to your bankroll. As a standard Elk Studios do publish the RTP/House Edge information for their slots games within their game paytable. As such we can say that the House Edge of Diablo Reels is 3.7%.
Diablo Reels is a 3 reel slot and each reel is 3 symbols high. The slot uses traditional paylines with 5 in total, paying from left to right.
Theme – This slot has a Mexican theme, with a particular focus on the Day of the Dead. Think skull, guitars and chillies and you get a picture of the sort of slot that I am describing.
Special Symbols
Wild – The Wild symbol will substitute for all symbols other than Bonus symbols.
Bonus – The Bonus symbol is the “Skull” and you need 3 or more of them to trigger the Free Spins feature.
Bonus Features
Nudging Wilds – Nudging Wilds will nudge the reels they land on upwards, awarding respins, until they leave the top of the reels.
Wild Stack Respin – If you land a fully stacked Wild reel then it will lock in place and the reel above also filling with Wilds whilst all the other reels , including the one above, spin again.
Free Spins – If you trigger the Free Spins then you will be given 10 spins in total, during which the reels above will be active and the number of paylines will increase. There will be only high value symbols available on the upper reel and nudging Wilds can come with a multiplier worth up to 5x the bet.
Conclusion
Aesthetically, Diablo Reels, isn’t up to the standard of some of Elk’s other slots. However, the betting strategies that Elk continue to include remain a major issue. They offer no advantage and could in fact be considered a dangerous inclusion in a game that is based entirely on random chance. The implication that skill or a tactic can be in any way deployed is one that we cannot endorse, no matter how good this slot might be. With a fair degree of regret we cannot give Diablo Reels a positive review.
