About Illogicool

This cool and quirky slot game comes from the creative minds of Elk Studios, as a follow-up on the equally offbeat Tropicool. If your vibe is the whole space and astronaut theme, then you can take a trip into galaxies far, far away with the two male and female protagonists, exploring the universe and beyond.

As we would expect from Elk, the Illogicool slot looks outstanding but different. We come face to face with colourful little space critters (Troubles) as two astronauts hover at the sides of the reels, tapping away on their computer screens against the burgeoning black background. The soundtrack is outstanding, mixing beats samples to keep the intensity up.

Aside from the winning potential in the base game, there are all sorts of features. You will find cascading reels, Trouble symbols that are anything but trouble, Locked Wilds, Monster Wilds, and Bonus Symbols that can take you over to free drops. This is where wins come in quicker - and get even bigger as multipliers are thrown into the mix.

How to play Illogicool slot

If we take a look more closely at the game, we can see that this slot is fairly high in terms of volatility. The wins are less frequent and more substantial. In terms of layout, it is not your standard setup. The control panel is made up of 6 reels and 6 rows. There is also a special Cool Reel that runs along the top of the reels, integrated within the main ones.

Your mission in the Illogicool slot, should you choose to accept, is to collect coins as you match symbols from left to right in any row. There's a total of 46656 ways to win.

The symbols from the Illogicool slot are quite an eclectic mix. There are the low paying neon Joker to Ace playing cards paying 0.3-times your stake. Then there are the mid-paying symbols of computers, ray guns, and spaceships that are worth between 0.6 to 1.2 times your stake. Finally, we have the top paying symbols, the male and female astronauts. These can either land as 1x1 or 1x2 symbols, and can win you 1.5 to 2-times your stake. The above values are relevant for hits of 6-of-a-kind.

To help you build up those wins, there are also three different types of wilds - standard Wilds, Locked Wilds and Monster Wilds. The wilds can replace the regular symbols and get you even more winning combinations. And this is just the base game. Things get even better with the bonus features below.

Illogicool Bonus Features

Elk Studios did not waste any opportunity to make the Illogicool slot attractive. Here are the game’s main features:

Cascading wins: Every time you hit a winning combination, the symbols that formed it are removed from the grid. The symbols above will drop down to fill the space, and hopefully generate another win. This process keeps on repeating until the wins stop. When there are no more wins, symbols will fall from the Cool Reel to fill the spaces below, and the Cool Reel will get refilled. It is only when the feature symbols drop down from the Cool Reel that they become active.

Troubles: Trouble symbols become active after falling from the Cool Reel. These symbols can create areas that alter the symbols beneath them, turning them into the same symbol type. There are also sticky Troubles - and these multiply and spread to the adjacent cells, changing them into the same symbols… wilds or pays. If they are overlaid on a bonus symbol, then they will upgrade to a Super Bonus Symbol.

Feature Symbols: Apart from the standard wilds, you will find a series of special wilds in the Illogicool slot. There are for example locked wilds which will stay on the grid for 3 wins. The Monster Wilds are triggered when they fall from the Cool Reel. These expand up and down the reel to replace non-winning symbols.

Bonus Game: If you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 Bonus or Super Bonus symbols, you will activate 10, 15, 20 or 25 free drops. Super Bonus Symbols will also award a multiplier ranging between 5-times and 30-times your win, depending on how many you land. During the bonus game, two additional symbols are added to the Cool Reel. The Extra Drop Symbols award up to 5 additional free spins, and the Win Multiplier symbols can increase your win by up to three times.

Illogicool slot Review

As we would expect from Elk, this is a game full of humour and plenty of features and actions. The game flows well and it offers a smooth and seamless slot experience. Elk is famed for quirky themes, going all the way to earlier releases such as Wild Toro and Taco Brothers.

What really makes the Illogicool slot stand out is its bucket load of features, from Troubles and Wilds to cascading reels, free drops, multipliers, and more. Like many of Elk’s other games, such as Nitropolis, it offers thousands of ways to win, which is always a big selling point. The slot is original, and definitely puts the ‘cool’ in Illogicool.
