Game Overview
Heading out on a real life safari and watching animals in their natural habitat must be a fantastic experience and is something that is certainly on my bucket list. Whilst it might take a while to save up for such a trip, slot developers keep the idea and dream alive by utilising this popular theme in the creation of their online slot games, with the latest title to hit our virtual desk for review being PG Soft’s Safari Wild slot. As for some basic stats, this 6-reel game offers players 22,500 ways to win, an RTP of 96.75%, and wins up to a maximum of 5,000x bet.
A quick run-through of the features reveals Safari Wilds to be a cascading reels slot game, meaning winning symbols are removed from the playfield and replaced with new ones, providing extra chances to win. We also have a win multiplier in play, increasing in value each time a consecutive win is achieved through the reel cascades. The headline mechanic of the game, however, is the Wild Transformation Reels, which sees any symbols involved in a winning combo on the centre two reels turned into wild symbols. Players can also trigger a free spins feature where the values of the win multiplier will be doubled.
The safari theme may not be the most original, but PG Soft have some great mechanics in their games, which makes this title worth a look. Try it out for yourself in our Safari Wilds slot demo; it’s available to play for free below.
Safari Wilds Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
In the last PG Soft game I reviewed, titled the Cruise Royale slot, I said that the provider often themes its content around Asia or the East, so it’s been nice to add a couple of new games to their portfolio showcasing what else they are capable of. If you’re a player who enjoys the safari slot niche, then we have heaps of online slot games for you to try here on our site, with some of the more notable recommendations being Blueprint Gaming’s Safari Gold Megaways slot and Pragmatic Play’s African Elephant. It’s time to focus on what PG’s Safari Wilds slot brings to the table though, and we’re going to kick things off over at the pays section.
Commanding respect at the summit of the paytable is the king of the jungle, the Lion, who will pay 2.5x bet for a six of a kind win. Next, we have the Elephant returning 1.5x, followed by the Giraffe at 1x, then the Zebra at 0.75x, with the remaining premium paying symbols being the Antelope and Meerkat valued at 0.5x and 0.4x, respectively, for a completed line of six. The low pays come in the form of the classic royal symbols, with the Ace and King sharing payouts of 0.25x, whilst the Queen, Jack and Ten all have equal values of 0.2x for a winning combo of six.
Players can choose to spin the reels from the minimum of €0.20 a spin on Safari Wilds, with the max stake on the game reaching €100. I’m not quite sure why, but on our free play version of the game, the minimum stake is set at €0.60, but the official game sheet does clearly state the lowest entry point to play the slot is €0.20
Safari Wilds Slot Base Game & Modifiers
Safari Wilds utilises a 5x5x6x6x5x5 reel formation, which allows the slot game to deliver up to 22,500 ways to win on every spin. A winning combination is formed when at least three matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first. Any win connection formed will activate the cascading reels mechanic, eliminating all symbols involved in the win and replacing them with new ones.
Multiplier
At the start of every round, a win multiplier at the bottom of the reels will begin at x1. Each successful reel cascade will increase this multiplier to the next position on the meter, with the maximum value on the base game being x5. Once you fail to hit a new winning combo, the meter will reset to x1.
Wild Transformation Reels
When a winning combo is formed, all symbols involved on reels 3 and 4 will be transformed into wilds for the cascade that follows, giving you a better chance to hit a new win with a higher value multiplier in play.
Safari Wilds Slot Bonus Features
If four scatter symbols land in view during the base, then the bonus round will be triggered and 12 free spins awarded, with each scatter that hits thereafter adding an extra 2 spins to the starting total.
Free Spins Feature
The free spins bonus plays precisely the same as the base game, but all multipliers under the reels are now doubled, with a maximum value of 10x now achievable.
Pros
- Win multiplier is available in both the base game and free spins.
- High RTP of 96.75%
Cons
- A few extra features would have made the game more interesting.
Safari Wilds Slot Review Final Thoughts
PG Soft's Safari Wilds may not include as many features and modifiers as some of their other slot games, but the wild transformation feature and multipliers being present in both the base game and bonus round make this a title worthy of some game time.
