Elvira Slots

IGT's first Elvira slots – under the Mistress of the Dark title – were unveiled in 1996 as part of the Spooky slots progressive collection. Originally, the Elvira slot machine was linked to other similarly themed IGT slots like the Addams Family and Young Frankenstein games, though after 15 years on the market you'll be lucky to find a single Elvira Mistress of the Dark slot tucked away in the corner of a Las Vegas casino. Unfortunately, no Elvira online slots even exist. Why bother reviewing this now obscure game, then? Because the original Elvira is quite possibly the funniest (and most fun) slot we've ever played.

If you're lucky enough to find an Elvira slots casino, then you'll see that the original game was pretty standard in format with five reels, 15 paylines and a max bet of five coins per line. Unlike later Elvira slot machines, which were fixed at a nickel, the first game had selectable betting denominations. The full-sized version of the game towers at over 8' tall, much like the leggy Mistress of the Dark herself. We're baffled as to why IGT's online branch hasn't taken the leap and made Elvira online slots yet, because we're sure this game would be an instant hit.

Elvira Slots Review

The Elvira slot machine keeps things interesting with actual clips from the movies featured on the original show and with clips from the show itself in addition to sound effects voiced by Elvira herself. And while we love all the nostalgic kitsch of the game, what we really love are its many bonuses. Two Midnight Matinee symbols on the first and fifth reels starts a two-part pick and win bonus where players can double their prize from the first round in the second Elvira's Rating Round.

On the first Elvira slots, there is also a big wheel at the top that was triggered by three Spinning Spiders symbols . Players get 3-5 spins in Elvira's Web of Winnings. If the wheel lands on an Elvira's chest symbol, you initiate another pick and win feature with a monster bonus. As if that wasn't enough to please even the pickiest bonus hunters, most Elvira's slots casinos also offer an in-game bonus where three deadhead symbols initiates a simple pick and win feature. Choose a head, its jar will shatter, and the prize within will be revealed.

Several years after Mistress of the Dark, IGT released a sequel Elvira slot machine – Elvira's Hot 7. This is a nickel machine that also offers an impressive jackpot. In fact, the jackpot is so impressive it actually set the record for nickel jackpots with a massive win of $3.2 million. This Elvira slots game is a little more modern and includes the more traditional free spin bonus, but our heart still belongs to the original Mistress of the Dark.

As we mentioned before, no Elvira online slots exist (yet), so if you're hoping to try your hand at this one-of-a-kind game you're going to have to hunt for an Elvira slots casino at gambling destinations like Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Still, we rate the awesome Elvira slots a well-deserved 9.5 out of 10.
