Game Features

Lakes Five is a 5-reel, 178 pay line slot offering a heist worthy RTP of 96.3%, for all who want to join the gang. With transparent reels that spin against a bustling city back drop, where the next target for the Lakes Five gang lies. Symbols in the game include the Lakes Five characters, diamonds and a safe cracking kit.

Bet Amounts – Betting begins at 20p per spin and can be increased to £100 per spin, if you stick to a no betting strategy that is. In Lakes Five there are four other betting options available and we have simplified them for you below:

• Optimiser – this will bet a certain percentage of your balance when chosen. If selected it will automatically choose a bet based on what is in your balance. You could be betting with 1%, 2%, 5% or 10% of your funds, so be wary choosing this as it will change automatically.
• Leveller – after every 5 losses your bet will be raised two steps higher than the current bet amount. This will continue after every 5 losses received and will only reset once a win is made.
• Booster – after each loss a Booster will raise your bet by one step, up to a maximum of four steps above your base bet amount. This will reset after a win is made.
• Jumper – this will raise your bet by one level after every win, until it has reached four levels above the base bet amount. It will reset after a loss is received.

Wild Symbol –  Elk Studios has given a bit of a twist to the wild symbol, as it also doubles as your scatter too. It will substitute for all other symbols within the game and is a key part to triggering all the bonus games.

Wild Respins Feature – Land yourself two of the Lakes Five symbol anywhere on the reels and you will trigger the respin feature. The reels will respin until they have less than two wild symbols in view. This means the spins could potentially carry on for some time.

Heist Bonus Feature – To trigger this feature you need to land five of the Lakes Five wild symbol anywhere on the reels. Here you will receive 10 bonus spins to begin with, but every time a gold key lands on the reels you will receive one more spin added to your total. Those keys have another function though too aside from awarding extra spins. They only land on reels 1, 3 and 5, and if you manage to land three keys on either of those reels, you get a little extra surprise as shown below:

• Reel 1 – when a wild symbol lands it will move one step to the right on each spin until it moves off the edge of the reel,
• Reel 2 – wild symbols will remain in place until the end of the spins,
• Reel 3 – any wild symbol that lands will then move up one step on each subsequent spin until it moves off the top.

You may find with these extra’s that you end up with wilds landing on the same position as another wild, as they move across the reels. If this happens you will be allocated a special multiplier for that line win of x2 or x3 the bet amount. On the last spin of the reels, all wilds that are still in view from the feature will move off the reels. As they move off they will turn all symbols they touch completely wild in their wake and your final wins are calculated.

Overview

Lakes Five has blown us away, and not with dynamite intended for the safe. The game is busy, bright and fun to play. Elk Studios have obviously put a lot of thought into it, and it shows. Wins happened often and when we did trigger those bonus spins, we were amazed at the way they went in our favour. We were a bit unsure of the whole wild/scatter combination symbol, as it doesn’t always work well. But not here, in fact it worked better than we thought it would.
