Arcane Elements slot review
The ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles taught that everything is made of four "roots" — fire, water, earth and air — and that love is what binds them together. Habanero's Arcane Elements features the same four, and the game's description invites you to combine them into a perfect pair. The whole game turns on one question — who assigns the wild: chance picks one element, and in the bonus you pick two yourself.
Table of correspondences: a 5x3 grid, 50 lines, very low volatility, RTP from ~86% to 98% and a cap of x608. Each of the 4 elements can become a wild: one turns active by chance, and in the 10 Free Spins two are active — your choice.
Which element is wild right now?
The grid is five reels by three rows, 15 positions in all, with 50 paylines.
The four elements are four possible wilds. One of them becomes the active wild, and it's chosen at random. Wilds appear on all reels.
Which pair of elements will you choose?
In the bonus, chance steps aside for you: the game's special feature is called the Element Pick Feature.
💡 Into the bonus
- 3 Special Symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger the bonus;
- the bonus awards 10 Free Spins;
- there are no retriggers within the bonus.
💡 Element Pick: two elements of your choice
- you choose 2 of the 4 elements;
- both chosen elements become active wilds in the bonus.
The rules describe two ways of assigning a wild: at random — one element out of four — and by your choice in the bonus — two at once.
How fierce do the elements get here?
On the numbers, the elements here are tame: VERY LOW volatility and a maximum multiplier of x608, or 608 times the bet. The bonus is predictable in length too: 10 Free Spins, with no retriggers.
The RTP proportion in this mixture, though, is measured out by the casino.
⚠️ The casino measures out the RTP
An alchemist measures out his own proportions, but in Arcane Elements the RTP proportion is measured out by the venue: ~86%, 92%, 94%, 96% or 98%. The weakest mixture falls ≈12 percentage points of theoretical return short of the richest. The recipe is written down in the game info — study it before the elements are set in motion.
When the elements agree
- Four elements, four possible wilds — and wilds appear on all reels.
- In the bonus, you pick two elements yourself, and both become active wilds.
- The bonus is 10 Free Spins, opened by 3 Special Symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4.
- 50 lines on a 5x3 grid and VERY LOW volatility.
When the elements clash
- The cap is x608: the biggest win equals 608 times the bet.
- Free Spins can't be retriggered: the bonus is limited to 10 spins.
- Outside the bonus pick, the active wild is set by chance — one element out of four.
- The casino may measure out the ~86% RTP version — ≈12 points less than 98%.
Who will the elements answer to?
| Player profile | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Players who like having a say in the bonus | 🟢 Yes | In the bonus, you choose two of the four elements, and both become active wilds. |
| Fans of a wild that changes its form | 🟢 Likely yes | Any of the four elements can be the wild, the active one is picked at random, and wilds appear on all reels. |
| Players who want the bonus to be able to run longer | 🟠 Likely no | Free Spins can't be retriggered within the bonus: there are exactly 10. |
| Anyone expecting a big win from a lucky pair of elements | 🟡 Caution | Even with two chosen wilds, the limit is x608; volatility is VERY LOW, and the casino is free to measure out the ~86% RTP version. |
⚡ Arcane Elements: chance or choice?
In Arcane Elements, elements are assigned in two ways. By chance: one of the four becomes the active wild, and wilds appear on all reels. By choice: 3 Special Symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 open 10 Free Spins, and in them you make two elements active wilds yourself — though with no retriggers. Both share the same frame: VERY LOW volatility, an x608 cap and an RTP version between ~86% and 98% chosen by the casino — confirm it in the game info. Empedocles believed love binds the elements; in Arcane Elements, it's your choice that binds the pair.
