African King

Described as kind-of-classic gameplay, this game is set somewhere between modern and traditional slots. First off, we must warn you that the return to player is quite low in this game.

That is certainly something that NetGame Entertainment needs to work on if they are to keep releasing modern games.

But!

The above is redeemed by the fact that there are some jackpots that you can chase, and several other big wins that can save the day. Overall, the game offers quite a nice balance between interesting graphics and fast action.

Theme

African savannah as a theme is one of the most popular ones when it comes to slot machines. As such, this game doesn’t offer anything revolutionary. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the graphics are beautiful…

…and that the background animations look good on all devices. The audio effects lack when it comes to music, but surprise you with the occasional roar. Besides the local fauna, you will also find some familiar playing card symbols on the reels.

Betting Options and Functions

With a single coin bet on all 20 pay-lines (don’t worry, the coin value is decided separately) you are looking at a maximum return of one thousand times the line bet. The minimum you will get from a three-symbol combination is five times the line bet.

There are bigger wins to be had through the special features. But before we get into those, it’s worth noting that this game comes with quite a good interface. Every setting you will ever need is easily changed whether playing on a desktop or a mobile device.

Features

• With 2 feature scatters on the reels you will be paid forty times the line bet, and you will receive one free re-spin.
• With 3 scatters you are looking at eight feature spins, plus an immediate payout of 100 times the line bet.
• 4 scatters bump the payout to 400 times the bet.
• 5 scatters dish out 2500 times the line bet even before getting into the spins!

During the bonus games you can score eight more spins every time a minimum of three scatters show up on the reels. On top of this, each spin has one of the reels selected as a wild one, with a stacked wild (of course a giraffe) helping you land more win combinations.

It’s worth noting that the wild substitutes for all other symbols (sans the bonus one), but also pays out up to 3000 times the bet with a combination of five.

There is also a special jackpot going on, though this is a bit of a mysterious one. We’ll let you discover the truth behind it on the reels.

Our Take

Over half of the returns will come through special features, which means that it’s the extras that you are aiming to land in this slot. Though NetGame Entertainment has classed this as a medium volatility slot, it is essentially a high variance one given the special features.

If the return to player was a tad bit higher, we’d have no problem recommending this to everyone. As it stands, this game is still worth checking out if the theme and volatility are to your liking.
