Play Ottifanten for Free

If you’ve never watched comedian Otto Waalkes, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Ottifanten is an entirely original creation but in fact these are his brainchild.

The performer is well known for being the person who dreamt up Ottifanten, and even named them after himself! The loveable elephants were first brought to life in 1975 and since then have gone from strength to strength, gathering a cult following. And now they’re available in a video slot too, perfect for the huge fanbase who can’t get enough of the cartoon creatures!

Ottifanten is true to the original design and features not just the wide-eyed elephants on their adventure, but also a very accurate depiction of Otto Waalkes too! You’ll find Otto standing next to the reels while the ottifanten can be seen more or less everywhere!

As well as a trio of ottifanten standing swaying in front of the reels, there’s an array of them in various poses waiting to be whirled around too.

In the background there’s an accordion playing a melodic folk tune, but be prepared for Otto to join in the fun, whooping and jumping around - and even doing a Gangnam style dance!

Before you start sending Otto and his Ottifanten wild on the reels, explore the paytable first to discover exactly what’s on offer.

You can find this by clicking on the “i” button on the bottom left of the reels.

There’s a whole host of symbols with different values but you’ll need to match at least three to get a win. The more symbols you match, the higher the prize up to the maximum of five.

You’ll also find the paylines set out in the paytable but there’s no need to try and remember them all! The game will automatically recognise if you rack up a win and will notify you on the reels. And of course, Otto will be celebrating too!

When you’re ready to start playing, exit back out of the paytable and return to the main game where you’ll see Otto and his ottifanten patiently waiting for you to return.

Before you start the reels spinning, you’ll need to set up your bet. You’ll be playing on 5 reels with a maximum of 25 paylines; you can also decide how much you want to spend on each line allowing you to bet low or high.

Unless you’ve got a lot of money to play with, you’ll need to strike a careful balance between maximising your chances of winning and blowing everything at once! If you are betting high the Max Bet button saves you from having to crank the stake up manually, one notch at a time.

As well as the regular symbols, Ottifanten is packed full of features which provide lots of extra chances to win.

On the reels look out for the wild symbol; this can substitute for most of the other symbols and can create winning combinations more easily.

There’s also the free spins meter too: collect 15 of the symbols and you’ll win free spins!

If you enjoy taking chances and want to up your winnings, if you spin the coin symbol you have the option of playing a game of double or quits. You could walk away with a prize that’s twice the size but beware! You could lose everything too….

And finally, Ottifanten is absolutely jam-packed with a whole host of mini games that can be played on the side. From matching lifejackets to a test of memory, there’s much more to this game than simply spinning the reels.

Ottifanten by Whow Games offers oodles of fun and the chance to not just play traditional video slots, but lots of extra side games too.
