About the Game
Crescendo by ELK Studios is a poker style slot with 5 reels in 1 row and a 5-position feature wheel.
Max Win
The maximum total win per game round in Crescendo cannot exceed x25,000 of the bet placed. When you reach the winning limit, the game round ends and you are paid out all winnings. You cannot change the bet once the game round has started. Theoretical Return to Player (RTP): 94.0%.
Each reel contains at least one of the 52 standard playing cards (in the form of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack (J), Queen (Q), King (K), Ace and four suits: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs). In addition, all reels contain Wild cards.
Winning combinations are determined by matching the symbol combinations with the standard poker combination classification.
Possible combinations in descending order:
Each type of winning poker combination is associated with its own base win value, indicated in the payout table. If several different poker combinations can be formed at the same time, the combination with the highest base win, indicated in the payout table, will always be chosen.
The calculation of the win is done in two neon frames. The left yellow one shows the base win. And the right blue one is the win multiplier.
The total winnings of a poker hand are calculated as the product of the base win and the win multiplier, as specified in the respective boxes.
A round of play at the selected bet level begins when the player presses the Spin button.
The game can be played automatically by activating the Auto Spin feature. Hold Spin or use the Auto Spin button to set the number of automatic rounds.
Wins and winning combinations are paid according to the paytable. Wins are displayed in the player’s currency or in coins. The player can change the settings in the settings.
The game has two modes: regular and bonus.
Wild symbols replace any symbol that pays a reward.
The first spin of a game round always starts all 5 mini-reels and gives 1 to 5 features in the inventory.
Every winning poker combination triggers a Respin. Each Respin triggered by a winning poker combination opens a new feature in the inventory, but the maximum is 5.
A winning combination consisting of 5 playing cards results in a full Respin of all cards. In addition, the initial value of the win multiplier is doubled on any subsequent wins.
A winning combination of 2, 3 or 4 playing cards results in a Respin, during which the cards involved in the win remain sticky and those that do not participate are spun again.
A win is awarded during a Respin if a new combination of greater or equal size but greater value can be formed using old and new cards.
Whenever a full spin of the 5 mini-reels (e.g. the first spin of a game round, a bonus Free Spin or a Respin after a winning combination of 5 cards) results in a set of playing cards that does not form a winning poker combination, but is one card short of any form of straight or flush, a Respin occurs. The one card that is missing for the straight and/or flush is re-spinned for an additional chance to form a winning combination. This type of Respin does not give an additional card to the feature. If no new win is made during this Respin, there is a chance for a re-spin.
The features are always applied one after another from left to right for each corresponding card in each winning combination. Changes to the base win and win multiplier caused by the feature cards are reset after each winning combination is calculated.
Features intended for specific denominations or suits do not apply to Wild cards unless they match their base denomination/suit (if any). In other words, Wild cards replace any denomination and/or suit to complete poker hands, but not to activate modifiers.
Feature cards are Sticky, meaning they cannot be removed or changed once added during each game round.
The game round starts with the initial multiplier value reset and 1 to 5 features in the inventory activated. A new set of symbols then appears on the reels.
Wild symbols substitute for any symbol that pays a prize.
The Base Win Add feature adds the specified value to the base win for each symbol in a winning combination that matches the specified type.
The Add to Multiplier feature adds the specified value to the multiplier for each symbol in a winning combination that matches the specified type.
The Multiply Base Win feature multiplies the base win by the specified value for each symbol in a winning combination that matches the specified type.
The Multiplier Multiplier feature multiplies the multiplier by the specified value for each symbol in a winning combination that matches the specified type.
The Wild Assignment feature takes effect before the evaluation and turns all symbols that match the specified type into Wild symbols. Symbols that are turned Wild by the Wild Assignment feature count as both Wild and their original type when applying the features.
Bonus Game
The bonus game with 5 Free Spins is activated by collecting three bonus symbols. The multiplier and features are saved when switching from the normal mode to the bonus mode and throughout the Free Spins. The features in the inventory remain Sticky throughout the bonus game.
