The game’s symbols feature characters representing the four elements, along with fruit, a wild, a scatter, and the elemental symbol itself signifying lucky free spins. With a maximum jackpot of 100,000 coins, this game is an attractive proposition for players of all levels.
Classic Blackjack Gold from the prestigious Microgaming Gold series of games, features incredible graphics, casino-level speed, and world-class sound quality.

Scratch ‘N’ Spin is a traditional pub style slot, with nudge and hold functionality and a feature game. This slot also features a Lucky Shopper newsagent feature, which can be accessed from a spin of the reels which can reward up to 500 coins.
