ELK Studios Unveils Arcanum: A Deeply Magical Slot with Persistent Wizards

ELK Studios, the award-winning developer known for innovative slot mechanics, proudly announces the release of Arcanum, a visually rich and feature-packed slot that invites players into a world of spells, wizards, and ever-growing magical power.

Set on a 6-column, 7-row grid, Arcanum delivers a dynamic cluster-based experience where every spin can unlock new layers of gameplay. The slot is built around an impressive range of magical mechanics, including multiple wild features, a persistent global multiplier, symbol expansion, symbol transformation, symbol removal, and three distinct bonus games, all contributing to a maximum win potential of 10,000x the bet.

At the heart of Arcanum is the Wizard symbol, a jumping persistent wild that appears in every game round. When players achieve three cluster wins involving the Wizard, all collected spells are released at once, creating powerful chain reactions. The Mirror Wizard shares the same wild properties but does not release spells, adding strategic depth and excitement to the gameplay.

Magic lies beneath the surface of the reels through the Spell Inventory system. Magical spells are hidden behind payout symbols and are collected when revealed as part of a winning cluster. Once collected, spells are stored and can be activated together, making each spin a step toward a potentially explosive outcome.

The Multiplier symbol further enhances the experience. Hidden behind payout symbols, it increases the global multiplier by +1 when revealed, with the multiplier persisting throughout the game and carrying into bonus rounds, significantly boosting win potential over time.

Arcanum features five unique spells and two special feature symbols, including four wild spells, an expanding symbol spell, an explosive orb, and a transform orb. These magical elements work together to reshape the grid, remove symbols, and create new winning opportunities in dramatic fashion.

The slot’s Bonus Game is triggered by landing three bonus symbols. Landing four bonus symbols activates the Mirage Bonus, adding one Mirror Wizard, while five bonus symbols unlock the Arcanum Bonus, introducing two additional Mirror Wizards. Crucially, the global multiplier, spell inventory, and Wizard win tracker all remain persistent when entering the bonus and between drops, ensuring that progress and momentum are never lost.

With its layered mechanics, persistent progression, and high-impact visuals, Arcanum showcases ELK Studios’ mastery of deep slot design. The game is fully optimized for desktop and mobile play, delivering a seamless and immersive experience across all platforms.
