Ten Elements Slot Review: Ten Weapon Wilds and Free Spins

Ten Elements makes accumulation the defining feature of its Free Spins. Three Free Spins symbols start the round with one Weapon Wild type; each successive spin adds another, until all ten are in play by spin ten. The progression is straightforward to track, but it does not mean every symbol appears in a winning position or that the full set guarantees a payout. Its appeal is the visible change in the bonus’s available Wild types over time.

Five reels and ten Wild types

The provider lists a five-reel, four-row grid with up to 40 lines. Ten distinct Weapon Wild types are available. Red Tiger says each ordinary spin loads the reels with one Weapon Wild type, without specifying that this base-game appearance follows the bonus sequence. The source does not itemize weapon-specific values or state a separate multiplier for each type.

Three Free Spins symbols trigger the bonus. Its first spin starts with one Weapon Wild type, the second adds another, and each spin adds a new type; by spin ten all ten types are in play. This is a staged addition to the available set, not a rule that all ten symbols must occupy winning positions or that the tenth spin guarantees a payout. The text does not explain how multiple types interact on a line, so no substitution hierarchy is claimed. Unlike the guaranteed bonus Wild in 1942: Sky Warrior, Ten Elements describes a growing variety of Wild types rather than promising a particular Wild position.

What the progression confirms

The feature wording confirms a ten-spin progression but provides no retrigger rule or behavior beyond spin ten. That supports the stated expansion and its endpoint, not an unlimited climb. The distinction between ordinary spins and the bonus is useful: one type is described for each base spin, while the bonus adds types cumulatively. The source does not quantify how the growing set changes win frequency or value.

Published figures

Red Tiger lists 96.16% RTP, volatility index 11.32 and maximum payout 1,836x; Evolution lists the same RTP. Release date: May 3, 2017. These settings do not measure bonus frequency or expected value at the final step. The 40-line maximum refers to the five-by-four layout, not Wild count.

Strengths and weak points

Strengths

Adding one Weapon Wild type each spin gives the bonus a specific, visible progression and a clear tenth-spin milestone without a complicated meter.

Weaknesses

Weapon-specific payouts, retriggers and post-tenth-spin behavior are not described. The full set expands possible outcomes but does not promise a winning result.

Our Editor’s View

Ten Elements is defined by a measured build in which the set of Weapon Wild types grows one step at a time during Free Spins. That makes the bonus’s development easy to follow, and the tenth spin provides a clear completion point for the described sequence. Players who enjoy visible accumulation may find the changing symbol pool engaging. However, the available rules stop short of explaining how each weapon affects a payout or whether spins can be added. The final milestone should therefore be read as a larger set of possibilities, not a guaranteed payoff. Its strength is clarity of progression; its limitation is the lack of detail about what that progression is worth.
