ELK Studios is one of the smallest online casino software developers around right now, but their name is well known due to the stunning quality of their slots. They have a long way to go to truly compete with the big industry names, but they just received the “Game of the Year” award for Wild Toro at the EGR Operator awards, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with. Learn all about the iGaming studio here.
ELK Studios was founded in 2013 in Sweden, which is very recent in comparison to many other iGaming developers. In October 2014 they launched their very first slot game: The Lab.
That was quickly followed by Electric Sam in December 2014, but ELK Studio has an undeniable preference for quality over quantity and despite having hundreds of ideas for new games, the team prefers to take its time before moving from one development stage to the next. They are thorough and they want to make fun and unique games.
The company may still be very small with less than 20 employees in the Stockholm headquarters. But they already work with some of the biggest and best online casinos, among them Guts.com, LeoVegas or Betsson.

Right now the portfolio of games developed by ELK Studios is still very small indeed. The company barely releases ten titles per year. In actual fact, they average about five titles per year.
And they exclusively focus on slots. But what they do is excellent. ELK Studios’ slots are of fantastic quality, providing beautiful graphics, innovative gameplay and a lot of fun and entertainment. The games introduce loveable, funny and quirky characters and you can endlessly play their slots.
Right now there are 15 ELK Studios slots available at all online casinos that feature their games:
The Lab, Electric Sam, Champion’s Goal, Taco Brothers, DJ Wild, Bloopers, Poltava, Wild Toro, Taco Brothers Saving Christmas, Sam on the Beach, Hong Kong Tower, Ivanhoe, Hidden, Ho Ho Tower and Route 777.
ELK Studios doesn’t make any other games just yet and perhaps they never will, which would be okay as long as they keep producing such fantastic high quality games.
One unique feature of ELK Studios slots is their “Betting Strategies” feature that we want to take the time to explain separately.
Almost all slot developers have an auto-play feature integrated in their slots and that can be quite handy when you don’t want to continuously press the spin button. But it doesn’t allow you to adjust your bets, which some players want to do on occasion. ELK Studios betting strategy introduces pre-defined options to change your bet depending on your lucky streak or lack thereof.
If you choose the “jumper” your bet level increases after every winning round. After a losing spin your bet level is reset to the base level. The “booster” option on the other hand increases your bet after every losing round.
Then there’s the “leveller”, which will increase your bet level by two after every 5 rounds you lose. And if you choose the “optimizer”, your bet level is changed depending on the pre-selected percentage of your balance.
It’s certainly not a bad idea to try out all their strategies for a pre-selected number of rounds to see which one suits you best.
