Microgaming and exclusive content partner Gold Coin Studios have come together to bring you Animals of Africa. Although the title gives the game away somewhat and visually, nothing we haven’t already seen before in many slots, what is a gamechanger is the potential 8,000x the bet per spin, double symbols, expanding wilds, free spins, and scatters.

About Animals of Africa

Animals of Africa has 5 reels with 20 paylines and available to play across all devices from 20p up to £25 per spin. Judging by the highly volatile nature, they’ll be an element of risk playing with higher stakes, RTP sits at 96.18%A beautiful African drum soundtrack compliments the backdrop as the sun sets on the African Plains. As the name suggests, the symbols are all beautiful wild animals, the low-value symbols are represented by Royals, alongside a lion, rhinoceros, a buck, a zebra, and a monkey. The most lucrative is the wild and scatter. The wild substitutes all symbols to form winning combinations.

Gameplay

If a wild symbol lands on reels 2, 3, or 4 it expands into a wild reel and triggers expanding wild re-spins.The main feature in the slot is the double high-value symbols, they have the ability to combine to create winning combinations of up to ten symbols. This happens by counting the amount of the same symbol type in a winning combo, these only include the higher paying lions, rhinos, zebras, antelopes, and monkeys.Once you choose your spin value, regular wilds play a part and these expand during any free spin. An African tree represents the scatter and landing 3 or more, the free spins trigger awarding you 12 free games. Wilds that land during this feature now expand and award re-spins and extra sticky wild reels.During the base game, there’s a double-up feature you can use. Here you can potentially double your winnings on a spin by the toss of a coin, you decide heads or tails. If you are correct you double the winnings from that spin. This feature is only available to use once on a winning spin.

Conclusion

If you are an animal lover and a fan of slots with high volatility, then Animals of Africa will appeal to you. The graphics are what you’d expect in a slot in this genre but what it does deliver are pretty decent payouts if you are willing to take a risk.
