Elvira Slot Machine

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark Slot Machine

Went to Vegas a while back and was delighted to find a one-armed bandit that I didn’t mind taking my money so much. I found an Elvira, Mistress of the Dark Slot Machine at The Plaza Hotel (great place to stay in Vegas on the cheap, by the way). What has Elvira not got her name on these daysSeriously, this woman is a marketing genius!

Elvira put her personal touch on this one

So this is not just another slot machine where they grab some sound bites and movie clips and try to make a game out of it, no this thing is so much better than that! Elvira recorded her own audio and video for this game. It’s filled with a ton of tongue-in-cheek one-liners that you’d expect from The Mistress of the Dark. “Mmm, hey there, big spender!” when I hit the max bet gave me a good chuckle. She also says things like “It ain’t sinnin’, if YOU are winnin’ !” and “Was it good for you, darling?

Fun to watch, fun to listen to

One of the best things about the game is the chair you sit in; super comfy (obviously to get you to stay there) and awesome sound. There’s a really good goth-metal type track in the background that cleverly drives you to want to keep playing. When you get a bonus to show up on the reels, you hear (and feel) a crunchy guitar strum to build up your anticipation. The makers of this game were very good in knowing all the cues to get you to keep playing.The animation has very nice touches, as well. When the reels stop, Elvira’s “girls” take a little extra time to stop. And speaking of her best-known assets, you can play to win the “BOOby Prize” or the jackpot “The Breast Prize Ever“. If you are lucky enough to hit her bonus, you get a really cool montage of classic B horror movie clips to watch as the jackpot bonus builds up and it actually takes quite a while to watch the whole thing so after you just blew through the last $50, it almost seems worth it.

Worth it? Of course, it’s Elvira!

The payouts are pretty good if you are lucky and can keep hitting the bonuses.  Of course, as with any slot, she’s going to take more than she’ll give. At least you can have a lot more fun, losing your money and you never know- maybe you will be the lucky one!If you are going to Vegas (or the local casino), look out for this machine. I highly recommend it!
