A Tale of Elves slot is a charming Christmas adventure with gifts galore and entertaining gameplay. Gazing through the windows of Santa's workshop and watching the elves assemble toys is a childhood dream for many and Microgaming captures this wondrous fantasy in cutesy style. The base game doesn't have much in the way of bonus features, but high-value symbol combinations are always possible, and the random cash prize can give your bankroll a helpful bump. The free spins mode is the true gift, offering you some interesting choices, all of which could lead you to the slot's top potential of $240 000.
There isn't much to fault with this title; it has an engaging theme with decent potential, however, the combination of high volatility and a below-industry-average RTP means that you might have some frustrating losing streaks before you cash in on big wins.
