Avalon X (ELK Studios) – Review & Demo Play

Avalon X: Slot Overview

I’ve put plenty through Avalon X, a 6x7 cluster slot where 5+ adjacent matches trigger avalanches. Wins clear, then a wild drops into a random gap; wild multipliers can merge and even split across clusters. Stakes run from 0.20 to 100, with High volatility (ELK marks it 7/10) and a single 94% RTP setting. The max win sits at 10,000x. It feels like a blend of Avalon Gold and the X line, with Mystery Boxes, a global multiplier, and Holy Strike keeping the base lively.

Global Multiplier & Big Symbols in Avalon X

The global multiplier climbs as clusters land: +1 for low pays, +2 for high pays. It holds through avalanches, then resets after the spin. Big symbols hit in 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 sizes, count as the cells they cover, and crush 1x1s on the drop, sparing matching types, wilds, scatters, and Mystery Boxes. After each win, a fresh wild is generated; multiple wilds in the same cluster merge into a multiplier wild, and linked clusters split that multiplier where needed.

Mystery Boxes in Avalon X

Mystery Boxes act as blockers. Land 5 or more in view and, once no more wins occur, they activate together. They reveal the same pay symbol, a wild, or trigger Avalon features. This is the engine that mirrors Avalon Gold’s coin play, but with neat twists that tie into the slot’s global build-up. It’s a strong pacing tool in the base, and it snowballs well once multipliers are set up.

Avalon features from Boxes include Coin values, Collect, Redrop, and a Global Multiplier Spreader. Collect gathers all shown coins and reactivates their Boxes. Redrop gives a symbol drop and re-triggers all Boxes currently in view after other Box effects. The Spreader multiplies a selection of coin values. One caveat from my sessions: the global multiplier doesn’t multiply coin wins, so Box coins live in their own lane while line wins take the big lift.

Holy Strike can add Boxes outright, which pushes the activation threshold quickly. I’ve had spins where a late Redrop chained into new Boxes and a second activation, helping recover dry avalanches. When the Spreader targets a chunky coin value, it mirrors that familiar sniper feel, and Collect becomes the cherry on top. The rhythm is all about getting Boxes to five, then using Redrop or Holy Strike to run it back.

Avalon X Free Spins & Super Bonus

Hit 3 scatters to get 7 free spins. The big shift here is persistence: the global multiplier carries between spins, and any unopened Mystery Boxes remain on the grid until they fire. Extra scatters add +2 spins. This setup lets you stack the global early, then land clusters and Box chains with far greater punch. It mirrors the base flow but stretches the ceiling across the round.

Trigger with 2 scatters plus a super scatter to enter Super Free Spins. You still get 7 spins, carry-over Boxes, and that persistent global multiplier, but a Holy Strike is guaranteed on every spin. A super scatter during regular free spins upgrades to the super version; a super scatter during Super Free Spins adds +2 spins. The guaranteed Strike is the key driver, feeding Boxes and multipliers at a steady clip.

X-iter Feature Buys in Avalon X

Five options sit in the X-iter. Bonus Hunt costs 3x and triples bonus odds. Holy Strike costs 25x and guarantees the modifier. Five guaranteed Mystery Boxes costs 50x. Regular Bonus costs 100x, while Super Bonus costs 500x and guarantees a Holy Strike on each free spin. The game runs at 94% RTP across these, and the 10,000x cap applies if a session breaches it mid-mode.

Avalon X Symbols and Paytable

Low pays are four animal emblems; highs are four knight symbols. Cluster pays start from 5 connected, orthogonal matches. At the floor, 5-of-a-kind pays range from 0.05x to 1x; at the top end, 16+ clusters reach 5x to 50x. Wilds substitute for all regular pays. Multiple multiplier wilds in a win add together, then apply to the relevant clusters before the global multiplier steps in.

Each winning cluster spawns a new wild into a random empty position. When more than one wild helps form a cluster, they merge to create a multiplier wild. If a multiplier wild connects several clusters, it splits so each cluster benefits. This wild flow pairs nicely with Big symbols and the persistent global in bonuses. Note: coin wins from Boxes are outside the global multiplier’s scope.

Avalon X: Slot Verdict

Avalon X stitches together proven ELK parts: global multiplying, wild merge-and-split, Big symbols, and a Box system that can snowball with Redrops. It isn’t flashy on invention, yet it plays tight and pacy. The 10,000x cap is smaller than some, but the ride has bite when Boxes and the global line up. I rate it as a strong session slot: set the global, chase five Boxes, and let Holy Strike push the triggers.
