Jumbo Stampede

Stampede is a theme that comes into play every time there’s a herd of animals in a slot. This iSoftBet slot takes you to the African plains where the big beasts frolic freely in search of massive payouts.

The kicker here is the 4096 ways to win system, as otherwise…

…the game doesn’t really bring anything new into the genre. Quality-wise the game looks, sounds, and feels about right from the first spin onwards.

Read below what more to expect.

Theme

The African savannah opens up in the background. The animals have all made their way to the foreground, with elephants, antelopes, rhinos, and a few other beasts beautifully portrayed on the reels.

About half of the symbols, on the other hand, are those from the standard set. The music is what you would expect from the theme: jungle drums, not really African music but that’s what we all think it is.

Betting Options and Functions

The winning combinations are calculated as adjacent symbols from left to right. To calculate the total number of winning ways you need to multiply the symbols in adjacent reels with each other.

For example:

Having one symbol on the first reel, two on the second, and three on the third would give you a total of six pay-line wins. Don’t worry if this sounds complicated, it’s easy enough to understand after a few spins and wins.

Each spins costs 20 times the coin value the player has selected. The total bet is between 0.20 and 20 coins per spin. The possible prizes range between 5 and 150 times the bet. These amount to quite sizeable prizes when you land the reels full of matching symbols. The special features add further possibilities.

Features

Three to six scatter symbols, which is a golden elephant, awards the player with bonus games. Three, four, five, and six symbols dish out eight, fifteen, twenty, and fifty spins respectively. You can re-trigger these during the feature.

As an added bonus, even two scatters will land you more bonus games!

The jumbo part comes into play during the bonus games. Here, these will award wins on any positions.

In other words:

The jumbo symbols do not need to be in adjacent reels. The wilds, in turn, come with multipliers that can double or triple the value of any symbol combination. The wilds with multipliers will also function as several separate wilds for possible prize calculations.

Our Take

This is not the first game to take on the idea of a stampede of wins. The quality of the game is great, with graphics and sound effects driving their purpose well enough.

Overall…

…the game seems to offer somewhat medium volatility, as most wins you land are small ones. However, once you get to the special features the game changes completely.

Still, you need to get there which isn’t always the easiest thing. Worth a try if you like the number of possible pay-lines.
