Pink Elephants Trinity Slot Review
After what feels like a lifetime since their last appearance, the magical herd returns for a third and possibly final time in Pink Elephants Trinity, courtesy of Thunderkick. Get ready to explore the heart of the jungle and witness ancient rituals and mystical powers.
Starting each spin with 4,096 ways to win, the 6 reels draw you into a world of sacred energy, where whispers of Mystery symbols & sticky Wilds fill the air, guiding you along your chosen path, towards big win potential.
Gather your strength for the 6-level Bonus Game ritual, where collecting Peanut symbols powers each spin for greater potential. Survive the final sacrifice and you’ll find yourself part of the End Game, where the reels expand to an impressive 16,384 ways to win.
When the original Pink Elephants made its debut in 2017, the 6-reel, 4,096 ways to win format was about as rare as a pack of Pink Elephants (not including Elmer, of course). As a provider that’s not afraid to push boundaries, Thunderkick built something quite spectacular with Pink Elephants, which soon earned the title of ‘big sister’ thanks to the release of Pink Elephants 2 in 2020.
So here we are, all these years later, about to embark on a journey into the much-anticipated Pink Elephants Trinity, and we couldn’t be more thrilled, but will it leave a lasting impression like its predecessors did (and still do) all those years ago?
With a fixed RTP of 96.18% and a very high volatility score, this game can produce wins worth up to 14,400x your bet. As jungle drums beat louder, they’re calling you to join the ultimate Pink Elephants adventure…
Base Game & Features
Pink Elephants Trinity is a 6-reel, 4-row Video Slot with up to 16,384 ways to win. Paytable symbols guarantee wins when 2-6 matching symbols land on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1.
The highest-paying symbol is the Pink Elephant, followed by individual Monkeys and A, K, Q, J, 10, & 9 card ranks. When a winning combination occurs on the reels, a fixed payout between 0.2x and 13x your bet is awarded, where applicable.
Lastly, Wild symbols can appear on all reels, except 1 & 6, in the base game, substituting for all symbols except Scatters.
Mystery Feature
In the base game, a special Mystery Feature can randomly trigger. Once active, up to 5 Peanut Scatters can be added to the reels, with a natural 6th Scatter still possible. Alternatively, in Free Spins, this feature can inject up to 3 Peanut Scatters on the reels.
The Mystery Feature can trigger the Free Spins mode with standard Peanut Scatters, added Peanut Scatters, or a combination of both. Additionally, they can also be awarded during Bonus Level 5 (Monkey Ascension).
Pink Elephants Trinity: Free Spins
The Free Spins mode is instantly awarded when 3-6 Peanut Scatters appear in the same base game spins, awarding 8 Free Spins. When triggering the Free Spins mode with 4-6 Peanut Scatters, there’s a chance that Feature Animals will already begin active.
In this mode, Pink Elephant & Scatter symbols can carry Peanuts, which are collected into the current Meter, for a chance to advance through Levels. Once a new level is achieved, +3 Free Spins are awarded.
Furthermore, landing 2 Scatters in a single spin will award a x2 Peanut Multiplier, whilst 3 Scatters award a x3 Peanut Multiplier and +3 Free Spins. Each of the available levels in the Free Spins mode will award the following outcomes:
- Entry Level 1: Retains the same base game mechanics, with the Peanut Collection active.
- Level 2 (Panthea Wild Paw): Requires 21 Peanuts to activate. Each Wild symbol is marked with a Frame, so that it may later become sticky if hit by another Wild, Jaguar, or Bufo symbol.
- Level 3 (Jaguar Wild): Requires 34 Peanuts to activate. Adds a Wild symbol to reels 2-5 before each spin. Wilds added to Panthea Frames will transform into Sticky Wilds.
- Level 4 (Bufo Wild Jump): Requires 55 Peanuts to activate. Upgrades a random Sticky Wild into a Sticky Peanut, or creates one if none exist.
- Level 5 (Monkey Ascension): Requires 89 Peanuts to activate. Each feature animal is off, with 4 Monkey symbols removed from the reels, leaving Sticky Wilds & Peanuts available. Please note that the Mystery Feature is still active during this time.
- Level 6 (End Game): Requires 144 Peanuts to activate. Monkey Ascension & the Mystery Feature are removed for this level, while a 7th reel is added to the matrix, increasing the maximum ways to win to 16,384. All Sticky Wilds are transformed into Sticky Pink Elephants, and all other symbols are now revealed as non-winning Bones.
Bet+ & Bonus Buy
Players may purchase any of the following Bet+ & Bonus Buy options:
- Bonus Boost: Each spin is 3 times more likely to trigger the Free Spins mode for 2x your bet per spin
- Bonus Boost Plus: Each spin is 6 times more likely to trigger the Free Spins mode for 3x your bet per spin
- Bonus Boost Ultra: Each spin is 12 times more likely to trigger the Free Spins mode for 5x your bet per spin
- Bonus Boost Extreme: Each spin is 144 times more likely to trigger the Free Spins mode for 55x your bet per spin
Alternatively, players can trigger the Free Spins mode with 3, 4, or 5 Peanut Scatters for 150x, 300x, & 600x their bet, respectively.
The maximum win potential of Pink Elephants Trinity is 14,400x your bet. If a single session exceeds this figure, the current mode ends, and the player returns to the base game with the qualifying amount.
Our Honest Verdict
The most successful slot releases almost always expand to a sequel or series, and while Thunderkick left us hanging for quite some time, the original Pink Elephants release went on to do just that. Once the sequel was released, we didn’t hold our breath for another…not without putting a few years between us, anyway.
After many years, 5 to be exact, of wondering & waiting for any acknowledgement of our favourite glowing Elephant, the day we’ve been waiting for is finally upon us. Glistening in beautiful colours of purple & pink, the legendary Pink Elephant is back for another epic adventure, but does it exceed our expectations after so much time has passed?
In terms of aesthetics, Pink Elephants Trinity adopts high-quality graphics, crisp soundscapes, & realistic animations, covering an equally impressive backdrop & an array of bold colours. While the wait for this release was painfully long, it was worth it to see it shine under the spotlight of high-resolution, modern advancements.
Set upon a 6-reel matrix, each base game spin begins with 4,096 ways to win as standard, which can climb to 16,384 ways during the final ‘End Game’ level of the Free Spins mode, with the addition of a 7th reel.
As with previous releases, Peanut Scatters continue to play a pivotal role in the base game & Free Spins mode. They’re so important, in fact, that Thunderkick has brought back its ‘mystery nut’ feature, as well as a Peanut Collection Meter in Free Spins.
Once again, the higher Levels are difficult to achieve, far more so than usual, we feel, but it comes with an electrifying, feel-good vibe when you eventually get there. It’s a true representation of all previous Pink Elephants instalments, with a humble 14,400x max win potential.
All in all, Pink Elephants Trinity is a truly unmissable release to the popular series, with reputable features, engaging mechanics, & rewarding potential.
