The renowned slot game developer Elk Studios is set to engage players with their upcoming release, Ryze. Scheduled for launch on the 5th of November, Ryze is expected to create a buzz with its quality graphics and entertaining theme.
Realm of Ryze
Delving deep beneath a long-lost temple, players will find themselves in the Realm of Ryze. This realm is filled with halls brimming with immense treasures that are too valuable to overlook. To secure any portion of this wealth, players must master the art of thievery or face the formidable guardian, Ryze.
Ryze presents a 6-row, 5-to-6 column mischievous cluster slot game that features multiplier wilds, coins, symbol transformations, a bonus, and a super bonus, offering a maximum potential win of 10,000x the initial bet.
Bonus game
The bonus game in Ryze is triggered when a bonus symbol reaches the bonus key mold beneath the game grid, granting players 7 free drops. Multiplier wilds remain sticky during the bonus game. Moreover, if the bonus symbol lands on the super bonus key mold, the super bonus is activated, where both coins and multiplier wilds become sticky.
When players achieve winning clusters of payout symbols, a multiplier wild is generated in one of the empty positions left after a win. The multiplier value of a multiplier wild increases with each winning cluster it contributes to.
Coin clusters
In Ryze, a cluster of coins rewards players with the combined value, which is then transferred to a new coin that emerges after the cluster is eliminated. Additionally, the individual multipliers are heightened post-win, culminating in a multiplication and merging process to form a new multiplier wild.
The Burst feature in Ryze transforms itself and adjacent symbols into identical payout symbols or coins, adding an element of excitement to the gameplay.
X-iter feature
Players can swiftly immerse themselves in the action through the X-iter mode, which offers five different game modes. These modes range from a 2x bet with significantly increased bonus triggering chances to a 500x bet super bonus, where both coins and multiplier wilds remain sticky throughout the game.

You need 5+ touching discs to win with the best wins for 15+ of 15 down to 2x. You can buy bonuses via the X-iter mechanic and of course land special discs, such as increasing coin values, multiplier wilds, sticky multiplier wilds, multiplier increase or multiplier merge. The coin values have their own modifiers whereby they merge into one or multiplier wilds can be used on the coin clusters if touching them. A lava ball can land which transforms itself and all 6 touching symbols to the same one on this dungeons and dragons themed slot. The molten planet scatter needs to get to the bottom of the grid via tumbles and then it melts into a key-shaped mould to award 7 free games, if the key mould is super you are awarded 7 super free games. The multiplier wilds and coins are now sticky for the duration and you are awarded +3 spins for any bonus symbol hitting the key moulds.
