Just for the Win and Microgaming have another addition to their Gold series of slots. Serengeti Gold is due for release in May 2021 and features include scatters, multipliers, hyperhold respins and 3 fixed jackpots.
Slot details
This is a high variance slot with 5 reels, 25 paylines and an RTP of 96.10%. Spinning the reels will cost you from 20p up to £100 per go.There is an abundance of African themed slots on the market, and the design of this particular game does nothing to make it stand out from the crowd.The action takes place on the African plains with symbols of A to J royals, a buffalo, leopards, rhinos and elephants. The latter is the most valuable and is worth x20 your wager for 5 on a payline.The wild symbol is the lion who can substitute for all regular symbols. If you are lucky enough to fill the reels with wilds, you can win up x2,500 your wager.
Gameplay
Landing the free spins scatter on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels on a single spin, will award you a spin on the bonus wheel. Here you can win x2, x3 and x5 multipliers and from 10 to 25 free spins. The feature can also be re-triggered by landing another 3 scatters.Landing 6 or more of the gold bonus symbols on the reels, activates the Hyperhold feature and you will receive 3 respins. These become sticky and you get to play with only blanks and bonus symbols. Each bonus symbol will reset the respins and alos has a cash value or jackpot attached.Cash values are worth up to x10 your wager, and the Mini and Major jackpots are worth x30 and x100 your wager respectively. Fill the reels with bonus symbols and you will pocket the Mega jackpot worth x2,500 your wager.
Verdict
Serengeti Gold offers nothing unique in the terms of gameplay and the payouts are a huge drop from the other slots in the Gold series. I feel they could have offered a lot more to make the game appealing.
