Rotating Element

Rotating Element is a nature-inspired slot game developed by BGaming. The theme revolves around the four classical elements – fire, earth, water, and air. The game's background features a fiery orange planet, representing Mars, which ties into the cosmic and elemental theme.

The main symbols in the game are stylized representations of the four elements:

• Fire: A vibrant orange flame symbol
• Earth: A green leaf symbol
• Water: A blue droplet symbol
• Air: A purple swirling symbol

Core Game Mechanics

Rotating Element features a 5×5 grid layout with 25 betways. The game has a medium variance and an RTP (Return to Player) of 97.19%, which is quite high for a slot game. The hit frequency is 3.3, suggesting fairly regular wins.

The base game revolves around matching elemental symbols across the grid. Each element has different payout values for matching 3, 4, or 5 symbols, with fire being the highest-paying regular symbol.

A key mechanic is the rotating feature. During spins, there's a possibility of landing a Rotate symbol in the center. When this happens, the entire grid rotates clockwise 90 degrees after paying out any winning combinations.

Bonus Features

• Wild/Rotate Symbol: The golden “W” symbol substitutes for any symbol except the Scatter. It also triggers the rotation of the entire grid when it lands in the center.
• Scatter and Free Spins: The flower-like Scatter symbol can appear in any position except the center. Landing 3 or more Scatters in one spin triggers the Free Spins bonus round.
• Free Spins Feature: During Free Spins, the Rotate symbol becomes sticky and stays in its position until the end of the round. Circles on the side of the playground light up to determine the number of rotations (1 to 3) after each spin.

The most interesting feature of Rotating Element is its rotation mechanic. This adds a dynamic element to the gameplay, as entire winning combinations can potentially be altered with each rotation. This mechanic is particularly impactful during the Free Spins round, where the Rotate symbol becomes sticky and continues to influence the game throughout the bonus.

The combination of elemental themes with cosmic imagery creates an intriguing visual aesthetic that sets this slot apart from more traditional nature-themed games.
