Elvis: The King Lives slot review (WMS)

“Well, it’s One for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready. Now go, cat, go!

But don’t you step on my blue suede shoes. You can do anything but lay off my blue suede shoes.”

Fans of the legendary Elvis Presley can completely indulge with Elvis: The King Lives. This is one of the least known slots by WMS that deserves a broader audience.

This slot not only shines as far as graphics and sound go, but it is right up there with innovation, just like we are used to from WMS.

Elvis: The King Lives takes the tried and proven concept Money Burst (also known from, e.g. Glitz and Bruce Lee) and doubles it by putting two sets of reels on top of one another. The result is not only a unique game concept but also double the number of chances to win.

How does the Elvis: The King Lives slot work?

Elvis: The King Lives consists of 2 slots with 40 lines stacked on top of one another: this creates 80 different paylines.

Of course, there are a lot of references to Elvis: Elvis fans will recognize the Teddy Bear (I will be your…), the Blue Suede shoes (Don’t You Step On My…) and naturally, the Hound Dog (You Ain’t Nothing But A…).

Most of the symbols are stacked, and that is also the case for the Elvis Wilds. This, in combination with the high number of paylines, can lead to some very nice payouts. The golden records are scattered. Spin 3 of these symbols on reels 3, 4 or 5, and you win the bonus.

Elvis: The King Lives has a minimum bet of $€ 0.40 per spin, which immediately activates the 80 paylines. Would you like to raise the stakes? That is possible as well, up to a maximum of $€ 200 per spin.

Bonus rounds in Elvis: The King Lives

You can win the bonus round in 3 different ways:

• By getting three scattered Elvis Records on reels 3, 4 and 5 (5 free spins);
• When four identical symbols drop on 1 of the 2 (or both) squares on reels 1 and 2. When this happens, the symbols will remain for the remainder of the bonus (5 free spins);
• A combination of 4 the same symbols and 3 Elvis Records. This nets you a whopping 20 free spins!

So, the bonus delivers a minimum of 5 free spins, up to a maximum of 20 with oversized symbols on reels 1 and 2. On top of that, you get to choose one Elvis song on the Bonus Jukebox for the possibility of extra spins and extra money.

The bonus round of Elvis: The King Lives can, if the right symbols drop down and the Wilds are in your favour, be very lucrative.

Five good reasons to love Elvis: The King Lives:

• Elvis! Who doesn’t love Elvis!?
• Unique game concept.
• High payouts possible in the primary and the bonus game
• Even with low bets of $€ 0.30, big wins are possible thanks to 80(!) paylines
• Viva Las Bonus!

Our verdict on the Elvis: The King Lives video slot?

WMS has a reputation for being an innovating producer of slots, and Elvis: The King Lives is no exception.

The beautiful graphics of a (thankfully) young Elvis, the many wilds and the possibility of huge payouts all contribute to an enjoyable slot. It is a bit all or nothing with this game so prepare yourself for many small prizes with now and then a big(ger) score coming your way.

The extra spin at the wheel of fortune in the bonus game is a fun extra. And every slot where you can listen to the song “Viva Las Vegas” scores bonus points in our book.
