The Bloopers Are Back Again, This Time in the Jungle Battle Movie Set of Platooners!

Casumo Casino has recently added the latest ELK online slot to their casino titled Platooners which sees the return of the popular Bloopers film characters but this time in a jungle battle themed movie set with a healthy dose of inspiration taken from the classic Platoon film.

Using a unique payline array you will find 178 ways to win in the base game with a massive maximum win of up to 250,000 coins, so whilst the base game may feel fairly low variance there is definitely some huge potential on offer in the bonuses.

The Platooners slot takes place on a movie film set, with the 5 reels made up from movie reel strips and the various Blooper characters armed with a variety of weapons randomly popping onto the set to unleash a variety of explosive bonuses via the Action Spins! feature including Guaranteed 5 of a Kind Wins, Wild Reels and Matching symbols added onto the reels.

On top of the base game mini bonuses, there is also the unique bonus round which sees the Bloopers take on Snakes of Fortune with bonus weapon upgrades, extra ammo, and explosive bombs all coming into play as the Bloopers battle through up to 3 bonus rounds with increasing difficulty and cash rewards on offer along with increasing perks for more than a 3 scatter trigger!

Bonus Features

Base Game

The Action Spins! bonus feature is triggered at random during base gameplay, with 3 individual features on offer from each of the Blooper characters as follows.

  • The green Platooner launches rockets at reels 1 and 3, filling them with identical symbols increasing the chance fo wins.
  • The red Platooner throws grenades resulting in random wilds on reels 3, 4 and 5.
  • The yellow Platooner fires his heavy machine gun generating at least one 5 of a kind payline.

Bonus Round

The Platooners vs Snakes of Fortune bonus is triggered by landing 3 or more of the bonus scatter symbols anywhere on the reels.

In the Snakes of Fortune bonus game you start off with 15 rounds of ammo, the Platooners then take turns in attacking the snake for coin rewards and special modifiers, it’s also worth noting that every extra scatter symbol that triggered the bonus round activates additional attacks from the start of the bonus round.

Upgrades include Double and Triple damage where the Platooners join in together to deal more damage, extra ammunition (more rounds) and bombs which explode along the snake removing several sections in one go.

Defeating the Snake will transport you to the next level with a harder boss to defeat and bigger rewards on offer (3 levels in total).

Overall Opinions

Platooners is another interesting slot release from ELK Studios that offers players a variety of decent base game mini features along with a very unusual 3 level main bonus round which can offer some very decent wins.

In our playtests, we managed bonus round results in the range of 30x to over 300x stake and this was without completing the stage 3 of the bonus round, with the extra little modifiers triggering that grant extra rounds, bombs and special attacks the bonus round is definitely entertaining to watch even though it requires no player input.

Overall Platooners is another solid slot from ELK, probably not their most innovative release but this slot does offer some nice win potential making it well worth checking out!
