Tinkerbot

Tinkerbot is a slot where the most handy machine in the robot world, Tinkerbot, builds something day and night. It may or may not work, but it won’t stop until the scrapyard is empty, a quirky setup, and the free demo lets you peek into that workshop right away.

What kind of game is Tinkerbot?

This is a robot-themed slot with cluster wins on a 5×5 grid. It includes wilds, random wilds, grid expansion, multipliers, symbol transformation, a bonus, and a super bonus, with a max win of 10,000x. If you’re looking for charming robot characters in ELK Studios slots, it’s an easy one to start with. The key is how the bot boxes stack up.

How do Botboxes build up and release?

Every winning cluster creates one Botbox. When 3 or more Botboxes collect, a feature release is triggered and each Botbox unleashes one random feature. The orange instant Botbox always releases a feature regardless of how many Botboxes there are. The released features include Absorb, Transform, Wild, Hot Wild, Multiplier Wild, and Grid Expansion. The idea of a robot that never stops building things is charming.

How do the Absorb and Transform features differ?

Absorb picks one pay symbol and gathers all matching symbols into a single multi-symbol. Transform picks one pay symbol and changes all matching symbols into a different type. One gathers and the other swaps, so they can change the shape of the clusters on screen quite a lot. The more Botboxes pile up on screen, the higher the anticipation for the next release.

How are the bonus and super bonus different?

3 bonus symbols start the 7-drop Free Drops bonus, and unused Botboxes, the current multiplier, and the grid size are kept. 4 bonus symbols open the 9-drop Super Bonus, which plays with the maximum grid size and boosted multipliers. X-iter comes in 5 options, from 3x to 500x the bet. Both features help build big clusters.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is 94.00% and the official volatility is 6 out of 10. Hit frequency is 29.9%, the bet range is €0.20 to €100, and the max win is 10,000x. In the demo, first check how quickly the Botboxes reach 3 and how often the orange instant Botbox shows up. The key point is that the Super Bonus starts with the maximum grid right from the first drop.
