Slot Summary

Christmas 2018 brought a camera joke to Playtech's reels with Selfie Elfie, a seasonal slot starring an elf who likes having his picture taken. The joke has a gameplay role: characters taking selfies with Elfie become substitutes. That makes the photography premise part of how the game changes its symbols, beyond the holiday setting.

How It Plays

All 40 paylines remain active, with ordinary combinations starting on the leftmost reel and continuing along the same line. Wins on different lines are added together, while each line pays its highest combination.

Elfie acts as the main game's wild and substitutes for ordinary symbols, but not the logo scatter. Other character symbols gain that substitution role only during the game's special features.

Bonus & Free Spins

Selfie Elfie Respins can activate randomly during the main game. The selector wheel turns a chosen high-paying character into a wild throughout the feature, awarding a respin for each newly created wild. Landing Elfie on the selector ends this sequence.

Three logo scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 award 8 free spins. During these spins, the selector can convert further characters into wilds that remain for the feature, allowing its substitution coverage to grow.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Low). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.13%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
