Phoenix Graveyard

Elk Studios sets Phoenix Graveyard in a dark, wooded burial town, all leafless trees and dim wooden houses under a night sky, with a Grim Reaper figure woven into the reel set. The game runs on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with a base 243 ways to win that can climb into the hundreds of thousands once symbols start splitting.

Card ranks from Jack to Ace fill out the low end of the paytable, backed by three fantasy character symbols as the premiums; a five-symbol low-pay line pays 0.6 to 1.2 times the stake, while a full line of premiums pays 1.5 to 4 times the bet.

Tombstone frames can appear around any grid position during a spin, in an effect called Sudden Death, splitting whatever symbol lands inside into as many as 10 copies and multiplying that position's ways to win accordingly.

Two wild symbols carry the bonus structure. The Phoenix wild sticks around through respins and between free spins, relocating to a new position each time it moves, and picks up a multiplier if its first landing spot is a tombstone. The Grim Reaper wild only appears on reels 3 to 5 and sets off a respin whenever it lands, attacking neighbouring premium or Phoenix wild symbols after each win is paid — sometimes doubling a multiplier, sometimes forcing the Phoenix wild to jump and leave a Feather wild behind — before shifting one column left on the next respin until it exits the grid.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols triggers 6, 8 or 10 free spins along with 1, 2 or 3 Phoenix wilds respectively, each spawning where a triggering symbol landed and inheriting any tombstone multiplier already in play. Those Phoenix wilds and any tombstones present carry into the feature and stay active for its full duration.

An X-iter menu offers five paid entry points: Sudden Death for 10x the bet adds tombstone frames across one to three full rows, a Grim Reaper and Phoenix Battle round costs 25x, and the bonus itself can be bought outright — 100x guarantees at least 3 bonus symbols, 200x guarantees 4, and 500x guarantees a full 5-symbol trigger.

Phoenix Graveyard pays out at an RTP of 95% with high volatility rated 8 out of 10, a hit frequency of about 23% and a maximum win of 10,000x the stake. Stakes run from 0.20 up to 100 per spin.
