Squeeze Slot Review
Do you fancy a break in the sun as a reward for all your hard work? Well, ELK Studios has invited you to the island of Squeeze, a stunning but mythical island that is constantly sun-soaked.
Pack your suitcases because not only is there a brand new destination to add to the list, there is a new feature. The better the squeeze, the better the rewards!
Let’s see if the island Squeeze is all that it cracks up to be. After all, you can not beat being on a blissful island with the sun beaming down!
Base Game & Features
Squeeze is a 6-reel, 7-row Cluster-Paying slot that is playable with a minimum bet of £/€0.20. If you usually spin with bigger bets, you will be glad to know the maximum bet is £/€100 per spin.
Due to this game being a cluster-paying slot, there isn’t a fixed number of pay lines per spin. You must land a cluster of 5 matching symbols to receive a cash prize. You can win a maximum of 10,000x your bet from a spin.
ELK has only released one version of Squeeze. Therefore, regardless of the casino you decide to play Squeeze, it will have an RTP of 94%. Squeeze is a highly volatile slot, so if you play to land big wins, you may have found the perfect game.
The game’s low-paying symbols are green, yellow, blue, and red blobs. They pay between 0.1 and 2 times the bet for a cluster of 5. As for high-paying symbols, they are the green, blue, red, and yellow fruit-looking symbols. They can reward up to 250 times the bet for a cluster of 17.
The Squeeze Feature
Once a winning cluster lands, symbols get squeezed, and the feature meter increases by +1. Depending on which colour symbols get squeezed, depends on which meter benefits:
- Red symbols – Spawn Wilds
- Yellow symbols – Big symbols
- Blue symbols – Symbols swap
- Green symbols – Symbol upgrade
- Bounce Back Feature
Every time a winning cluster gets squeezed, there’s a possibility that the symbols bounce back and as a result, improve the Win Multiplier. Once the bounce-back has happened, the winning cluster remains for another squeeze. Therefore, the feature is retriggerable.
Meters
Each meter has a designated Bonus Feature. Once a meter is complete, the feature begins. When no more wins take place, the feature meters start from 0. Here are the features:
- Feature swap – Two symbols swap places on the playing grid, resulting in possible wins. Three swaps happen for every full meter.
- Feature make big – A paying symbol transforms to 3×3 or 4×4 in size. Big symbols go back to being small to help determine wins.
- Feature spawn wilds – Between two and six symbols turn into wilds. They may transform into super-charged wilds.
- Feature upgrade – Upgrades the value of the symbols to the next level. If the chosen symbol is already at the highest level, they transform into wilds.
X-iter
- Bonus hunt – Pay 3x the bet, and you will play as usual, but the chances of triggering a bonus game are three times as high.
- A single feature meter – For 10x the bet, you get the one feature meter full at the start of a round.
- Two feature meters – Pay 25x the bet, and a game round will begin with two complete feature meters.
- Bonus round – For 100x the bet, you trigger the bonus round
- Super bonus round – Pay 500x the bet, and participate in the super bonus round.
Bonus & Super Bonus
Landing 3 Scatters will get you 5 Free Spins. If one of the 3 scatters is a Super Scatter, you will receive 5 Super Free Spins.
Before each drop takes place, at least one feature meter gets filled. Landing 3 Scatters in the bonus or super bonus round will gain you additional free drops. Feature meters and win multipliers remain in place for both bonus rounds. Therefore, nothing is lost.

Conclusion
If you are patient enough to sit out spells of spins with little to no action, you will see the full potential of Squeeze. The addition of a super bonus round is fantastic, and another great move by ELK Studios.
The super bonus round is where you begin to see the full capabilities of Squeeze and what it can offer. The super bonus round is chaotic in the best way possible and has many chances to receive cash prizes. Every spin is busy when playing Squeeze. From meters getting filled to ever-growing multipliers, you will never be short of entertainment.
Another aspect we enjoyed was the squeeze bonus feature. Yes, it might be similar to the tumble feature, however, it offers more and allows players to get all the goodness out of every spin. Yes, outside of the super bonus round, it can be a difficult game to gain anything from, but once the bonus rounds start, you are in business.
We can confidently say we enjoyed our first experience playing Squeeze and would recommend it if you are looking for a new slot that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
