Kaiju is Canada's big hit

According to online-casinos-canada.ca, Kaiju is already wreaking havoc and becoming an instant hit among the online casino players of Canada. One of the main reasons for its immediate success is its mobile-first approach. Mobile iGaming continues to grow in popularity and the latest titles are increasingly optimized to best be played in portrait mode for mobile devices, to cater for the majority that prefer to play on the move.

It would not be remiss to say that elk-studios.com is far from a powerhouse in the world of iGaming software development. They are a modest studio, but what they lack in size they more than make up for with their innovation and creative flair. They scooped a huge prize at the EGR Operator Awards 2017, bagging the Game of the Year Award. Wild Toro overcame the odds to pip microgaming.co.uk’s hugely popular Jurassic World video slot to the post and take the title.

Slot popularity driven by strong narratives

There is a very powerful back story to Kaiju. The game is set in a world where there is no land to grow, with humans forced into trading with intergalactic relations for food and other goods. The valuable metals and gems located within Earth are vital for the planet’s survival, but they are beginning to wane. Kaiju are monsters of immense size, that grow more of the precious gemstones that humans need to survive on their skin. You’ll play the role of the female cyborg protagonist, named HA-42, who is brave enough to use her enduring powers to snare the gems from the Kaiju and maintain the human race.

The slot features the expanding reels functionality that so many of the latest video slots now incorporate, giving players even more ways to win. Players can scoop the 7,776 payline jackpot if they can defeat the Red Kaiju in the Kaiju Battle bonus round. The use of the game’s vertical lazer underpins your overall success. Each time you lock in three or more identical game symbols on the reels, the lazer beam displays a Wild symbol on the row above, unleashing additional ways to cash in and win larger jackpots. The lazer is also beneficial in the Kaiju Battle bonus feature, expanding the game grid and the reels upwards.

If battling beasts and potentially winning a little cash along the way sounds like your kind of thing, we’re sure that Kaiju will keep you entertained for hours on end. It’s a title that’s helping to take video slot gaming a step further and for that reason alone it’s a release that should be applauded by the sci-fi fraternity.
