- ELK Studios releases Langley Street 23 slot
- Min/max bet: 0.20/100
- Max payout: 10,000x
“I always feel like somebody’s watching me” is the line that could probably best describe the feeling ELK Studios’ latest slot will give you. Or, better yet, just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not really watching.
“Langley Street 23” is a truly atmospheric and story-driven game that mixes weird symbols with conspiracy theories, secret surveillance, a mood straight out of The X-Files, and a surprisingly complex selection of bonus mechanics.
The game follows the story of Marvin, a conspiracy-obsessed resident of Langley Street who believes there is far more going on around him than anyone is willing to admit. Accordingly, his home is packed with aliens, mysterious symbols, and other clues, while an unseen organization seems to be watching his every move.
The storyline becomes considerably darker when Marvin is abducted during the bonus sequence and subjected to a mysterious re-education process.
The medium-high volatile slot is based on a 5×5 grid with 35 paylines, offering bets from $0.20/€0.20 to $100 per spin. The RTP ranges from 87% to 96% while the maximum potential win is 10,000x the bet, giving the game’s combination of multipliers, wilds and bonus mechanics plenty of room to produce substantial payouts.
The game’s highest-paying symbols continue the conspiracy theme. Premium symbols include a flat Earth, mechanical pigeon, eyed pyramid and UFO.
Five matching premium symbols can pay between 2.5x and 5x the stake, with the UFO representing the highest standard symbol value.
The lower-paying symbols are the traditional J, Q, K and A, which can award between 0.5x and 1.25x the bet for five matching symbols.
Wild symbols substitute for regular paytable symbols and can also appear with multipliers ranging from x2 to x100. A five-symbol combination consisting entirely of wilds pays the same as five UFO symbols.
These multipliers become particularly important when combined with Langley Street 23’s expanding, cloning and mystery mechanics.
