One of the very first mobile games by the 2014 relatively unknown slot software games provider, you might be surprised by our wanting to give it such a high rating in our list.
We equally surprised ourselves. And we recommend you go get surprised. The Lab slot machine is strangely reminiscent of the NetEnt Starburst game, and for more than just the flashing graphics on a win and the chemical symbols that could easily pass for gems.
The thing is, this is quite a different slot machine from the more famous game in terms of features. But when you play you’ll soon see how you can easily come to love this one as much as the original star bursting gem game. It’s all about the constant smaller wins, the free spins feature that hits often, the betting strategies…
Wait, betting strategies? Yeap. And that belongs to Elk games only.
The Lab Slot free spins and wilds
Uniquely, the free spins are triggered by getting the logo on reel 2, row 2. The first three reels will then freeze, and move to become reel 3, 4 and 5, as reels 1 and 2 spin to get you wins.
It makes getting more than about 5x to 15x your bet out of this slots bonus feature nearly impossible, though all winnings are doubled. Thank-fully, after the free spin round, you’ll usually get a couple of scatters giving you an additional 2x multiplier, perhaps even 4x if you’re lucky and get two.
The thing is though, The Lab slot game isn’t meant to get you huge wins. 15x your bet is ‘big’. The trick is to use this mobile slots betting strategies effectively and to walk away when you’re 20% up on your starting budget.
Those betting strategies and unbreakable ways
Two things we love most about Elk Games.
They have automatic betting strategies which work great on auto-play, so you don’t have to keep changing your bet yourself.
We dare you to walk away for a half hour, come back, and not find this mobile slot still working.
The Lab video slot works wonderfully, whether as an Android slot or iOS slot. Genuinely, it’s dependable but doesn’t sacrifice sounds and graphics to make it more mobile friendly. Quick tip on the functionality though; hold the spin button to get the autoplay function up. We almost missed it ourselves.
As for the betting strategies, we go on more about them below, but we find the Booster option the best. It will automatically raise your bet level by one after each losing round, until you reach 4 levels up from your starting bet, where it will sit there till you win something, where it will reset to the start. As this slot is low variance, it’s worth upping your stake so you can get bigger wins, and you usually don’t go more than 10 to 15 rounds without winning something.
