History

ELK Studios launched in September 2013 from an office in Stockholm, Sweden. Then, in October 2014, the Swedish provider released its first game, The Lab. ELK continues releasing slots like Taco Brothers in 2015 and Wild Toro in 2016. Also, in 2015, ELK received the coveted UKGC license, and players from across Britain gained access to its slots. In October 2017, Wild Toro won the game of the year at the EGR Operators Awards.

The company’s stature continues to grow as it releases new slots and came 4th in Deloitte’s Fast 50 Sweden in 2019. In November 2020, ELK released its smash-hit slot Nitropolis, the first game with Nitro Reels, and in 2021, the Swedish provider unveiled X-iter.

Popular Games

These are some of the most popular ELK Studios games:

• Nitropolis
• Taco Brothers
• Tropi Cool
• Wild Toro
• Man vs. Gator
• Cluster Kingdom

Step into a post-apocalyptic world in Nitropolis where the cities have been abandoned, and the highways are ruled by The Dirty Dawgs, the Gritty Kitties, the Pug Thugs, and the Rogue Rats. Race around the six-reel and four-row grid and watch the ways to win swell to 85 155 840 as you search for civilization among the respins and free spins!

Play the role of a matador and dodge a very angry bull in Wild Toro. This game is famous for its walking wild feature where the bull charges at you, and in its wake, the grid is littered with wild symbols that set off all kinds of tasty wins. Outwit the bull and stay away from his horns to take home the 2,250x max win!

Innovations and Awards

ELK Studios has a full trophy cabinet after racking numerous rewards over the last 10 years. The Swedish company won the Game of the Year Award for Wild Toro from the EGR Operators Awards 2017 and then, in 2021, scooped the Game Innovation of the Year Award at the 5-Star Starlet Awards.

2024 turned out to be a smashing year for ELK Studios as its pirate-themed slot Pirots 2 game won Best New Slot of the Month and the Most Streamed Slot at the GamblingNews Awards.

ELK Studios is most famous for Nitro Reels and X-iter. Nitro Reels cover two symbol places and hold identical symbols ranging from four to 12, which radically increases the ways to win. X-iter completely changes the way you traditionally play slots, as you can enjoy up to five game modes that offer everything from instant access to bonus features to a base game with progressive multipliers.
