A mighty elephant, the king of all of them perhaps, is the inspiration for this five reel slot from Microgaming. The first look is promising, with neat graphics and animations, as well as some sound effects filling the reels. There’s a real wild stampede of free spins coming your way, and some massive prizes up for grabs!
Theme
The wild open safaris spread far into the horizon on the background, with plenty of animated features to make you occasionally look away from the reels and into the wild yonder. On the reels, you will find elephants as the only animals, with card values and a pot of gold filling the shoes for other paying symbols. The music is slightly imposing with sound effects adding the roar of the mighty animals to scare you a bit further, though if it’s a win you’ll be getting the fear is fast gone.
Betting Options and Functions
The 25 paylines are fixed in their entirety. The winning combinations must run along one of these lines, from left to right, and have three to five matching symbols for a prize to be drawn. The betting is controlled via the total bet button, which gives options between 0.25 and 62.50 coins. In other words, the maximum bet per line is 2.5 coins.
A quick look at the paytables reveals that this game banks on free spins to dish out the biggest prizes. Still, getting five wilds on the line will net you a nice 1000 times your line bet. It quickly goes down from here though, with the two themed symbols only offering 250 times the line bet. The playing cards all offer pretty similar prizes, from 5 to 200 coins with three to five matching symbols.
Features
The King Tusk scatter, symbolising the magnificent beast, only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. When the three of them show up at the same time you get ten free spins with a bonus of your choice. Pick carefully!
The first choice is to make all the elephant symbols wild for the duration of the spins. The second choice makes two random reels turn into wilds, and not so surprisingly the third choice also adds wilds. This time each spin adds a random wild that sticks to the screen for five spins. The last one of these features is perhaps the best one, though that’s up to the player to decide. The free spins can be retriggered during the feature, adding to the running tally.
Our Take
The graphics, sounds, and animations give a nice atmosphere to this game. The basic game is a bit devoid of meaningful wins, though with some luck those can be triggered. After a few spins, it’s quite clear that the free spins are where the real action is, especially with all the different possibilities for wilds. If you can get to those you can get to the coins!
