Enter the age of classic rock n roll with the online slot game by developer WMS – Elvis: The King Lives. If you are a fan of this type of music, you better stay tuned. It’s not just the music you will enjoy, it’s the whole era of juke boxes, drive-in cinemas and drive-thru diners. This offering manages to capture that nostalgic retro vibe perfectly and pass it onto to the player. Speaking of diners and juke boxes, though, you will notice that the reels are basically shaped like a juke box, and when they aren’t spinning, you can pretty much hear the chatter and surrounding noises of a busy diner. When they are spinning, you will get to listen to some of that sweet, sweet rock n roll that is the theme of this game.
But let’s also have a look at the reels from a more technical perspective. You will find that they form a very unusual grid of 11 reels, with varying numbers of rows. The first 8 reels each only have 1 row, whereas the remaining 3 each have a whopping 6 rows. All of this makes for a total of some 80 active paylines. What’s more, you actually have the freedom to play with less paylines if you so choose, and since the bet here is per 2 paylines, the stakes aren’t too severe. In fact, they range from a minimum of only 5p per spin and up to a maximum bet of £200 per spin.
Special Features
Wild
There are quite a few different Elvis symbols on these reels, but only one of them is Wild, and it has his name written all over the icon. So, look for that one as it is also the most lucrative of the available symbols. Not only that, but it will replace any of the other icons bar the Scatter symbol, and in doing so it will help out when forming winning sequences. Furthermore, it can appear on any of the reels, and even fully stacked on them.
Free Spins
The Freespins Feature is this title’s main attraction, and the great news is that you can trigger it in more ways than one. One possibility is for you to land matching symbols on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4. You can also land that same combination of symbol on reels 5, 6, 7 and 8 – that will also do the trick. Your remaining possibility is to land 3 Scatter symbols on reels 9, 10 and 11. Either of these options will award you with a cash prize equal to your current stake and 5 free spins.
There’s also the possibility that you may land matching symbols on the small reels, as well as the 3 Scatters on the big ones. Should this be the case, you will receive a cash prize of 100x your stake and 20 free spins. In addition, players can re-trigger the feature by landing just 3 Scatters on the big reels, but this will only award an extra 5 free spins.

Verdict
Elvis: The King Lives is a great online slot game, offering an altogether different approach to gameplay. The way you trigger the free spins round may seem a little complicated at first, but once you’ve done it once it will all make perfect sense. Keep in mind, though, that this is among WMS’ most volatile offerings, so as rewarding as it can be, it can be equally risky.
