Animals of Africa Slot Review

Microgaming is planning to deliver a brand new slot machine on their platform, in collaboration with Gold Coin Studios and it will be called Animals of Africa. Maybe not the most special name and theme for quite a game, there are a lot which offer something similar but from what I’ve seen up until this point, it will be interesting either way.

Animals of Africa slot gives us 5 reels with 20 active lines. The game will have high instability but it will keep the RTP satisfying, at 96.18%. Concerning the major features, they include expanding wilds, double images, free spins and scatters.

Animals of Africa slot Features

All the premium symbols can land as double symbols in this game, which means that up to 10 matching symbols on a payline is possible. The top paying lion symbol pays 250x for 10 on a payline, but this is not even close to what the Wild symbol offers.

Land 5 wilds on a payline, and you will win 1,000x your stake. Any wild that’s part of a premium symbol winning combo will always count as a double symbol. The wild cannot substitute for the scatter symbol. The scatter pays wherever it lands, as long as you land at least 3. Land 5 on a payline, and you will pocket a 20x scatter win.

Of course, landing 3 to 5 scatters anywhere will also trigger the bonus round, as it does in so many games. You get 12 free spins no matter how many scatters you land, and you will now benefit from expanding wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4. When you land a wild on the 3 middle reels, it expands to become a full wild reel.

The wild reel becomes frozen in place, and you get a free respin on the remaining reels. If you land a new wild on the remaining middle reels, it too will become sticky and another free respin is awarded. This can repeat up to 3 times, and the respins don’t subtract from your free spins tally.

Free Spins

As we’ve stated in the previous section, the developer of the game has not yet released information about it. However, as is common with other Microgaming slots, there will probably be a free spin feature in the game which can be triggered by landing a number of special symbols on the game’s playing grid at the same time.

Other Bonuses

Besides the free spins feature, Animal of Africa slots is also expected to have other bonus features such as Wilds and Multipliers. You can check all the bonus features of the game by accessing the information menu. In the information menu, you will also see the payline configuration as well as rules that apply to the game.
