Step into an African Savanna adventure with Pragmatic Play’s latest release, Animal Magic 1000. This is a remodel of the popular slot Gates of Olympus, so expect similar mechanics, stats, and features. Played across 6 rows, it features the tumble mechanic with spins ranging from 2p to £100.
Animal Magic 1000 has an RTP of 96.5%, slightly above the industry average, high volatility, and a top prize of 15,000 times the stake.
Animal Magic 1000 Design
Inspired by the wild African Savannah, the game features friendly wild animals like Zebras, Elephants, and Rhinos. The graphics are superb, with a clear blue sky, a winding river, and trees behind the reels.
The reels sit centrally on the screen, and symbols include various coloured gems representing the low values, along with a meerkat, rhino, zebra and elephant, 12 of the same awards 12x to 50x the bet.
The blue diamond is the scatter, and 4 on a spin triggers the free spins and a multiplier. The gold lions head is the multiplier symbol, it lands with either a green, red, blue, pink or purple colour and is worth between 2x and 1000x the bet.
Features
The slot boasts cascading reels, free spins, multiplier symbols, ante bet and a buy-in feature. Let’s delve deeper into the gameplay and features.
Once a win is created, the cascading (tumble) feature triggers all the symbols involved in the win fall away, and new symbols replace them, potentially leading to multiple cascades per spin.
The multiplier symbol can land anywhere on the reels during the base game and the free spins. As I mentioned above, it lands with a colour attached. Depending on what colour is visible, it pays between 2x and 1000x. Once the cascades are finished, the multiplier symbols are multiplied by the win.
If you land 4v or more scatters anywhere on the reels the free spins feature triggers awarding 15 free games and a multiplier. 4, 5 or 6 scatters award 3x, 5x or 100x respectively. Another 3 scatters landing retriggers this feature for 5 free games. On the left side of the screen, a Total Multiplier is displayed. Each multiplier symbol landing on the reels adds its multiplier value to the Total Multiplier. If you land a new win with a multiplier, it’s multiplied by the combined Total Multiplier value.
The Ante Bet triggers for 25% of the bet. Your chances of activating the free spins feature double, and you now play with an RTP of 96.49%.
If you can’t wait to trigger the free spins normally, you can jump straight in for 100x the bet and play with an RTP of 96.49%.
Conclusion
Although Animal Magic 1000 is almost identical to other Pragmatic titles, it is an exceptional slot featuring wild animals running behind the reels. The graphics are excellent, with vibrant colours and a playful atmosphere complemented by a soft flute playing in the background. Animal Magic 1000, albeit a reskin of Gates of Olympus, is worth checking out for the cute animals roaming the African Savannah.
