Zulu Treasure

Join a young lady archaeologist in her adventure through South African savanna and meet the beautiful tribes of Africa in this 5-reeled online slot machine coming from Ainsworth slot portfolio!

This adventurous online release comes equipped with 100 pay lines, exciting gameplay and a set of interesting features that include Wilds, Scatters, a Free Spins game, a special Treasure Hunt feature, and a Quad Shot Bonus round. 

These can all help you get the maximum potential prize of 300x your total bet, or win a fixed Jackpot of $10000!

Theme and Symbols

Inspired by the Nguni people from South Africa, this online title features an African ethnic storyline with all of the symbols and details related to the theme.

The action takes place in the middle of the Safari during twilight hours, featuring warm orange and brown colours thanks to the sunset seen behind the reels. Besides, this online game boasts high-quality animations shown by numerous fireflies coming from the tall grass on both sides of the reels.

On the reels lined in a wooden frame and decorated by colourful ornaments from the African tribe, you will see symbols such as a female adventurer, an African warrior, drums, bow and arrow, a necklace, as well as playing card symbols from 9 to A.

Beautiful lion with all kinds of ornaments is the Wild symbol, while the Scatter is represented by the game's logo.

Your African adventure will be perfectly accompanied by a joyful tribal soundtrack, as well as authentic sounds coming after every winning spin.

Betting Options and Other Functions

This beautiful warm-coloured grid is formed out of 5 reels and 3 rows while offering 100 ways to win.

But, before you get to know this Indians tribe, you need to set your bets that range from 4 to 60 coins, which can be a bit disappointing for high-risk punters.

Another not so great thing is the fact that it combines rather high volatility with a low return to player percentage of 94.76%, though the highest winning potential stands at 300x the stake!

However, this online release also comes with four different Jackpots, the highest of which can reward a $10000 prize!

When it comes to symbols, boasting the best value from the regulars is the African warrior that can reward up to 36x the stake for 5 of them on a pay line, while playing card symbols 9, 10 and J pay the least – up to 1x the stake.

The Wild symbol does not pay on its own, while the highest-rewarding symbol of the game is the Scatter – paying 5x, 20x and 100x the stake for 3, 4 or 5 anywhere across the grid!

Special Features

Not only does this African-themed online release from Ainsworth Game Technology slot list shows beautiful graphics and animations, but it also boasts an impressive pack of bonus features.

Pay attention to the game's logo, as at least three of these Scatter symbols across the grid will trigger the Free Spins feature and award 10 extra spins!

During this bonus round, the Wild will appear only on the middle three reels, but, you will also benefit from a new treasure hunt symbol that lands on the reel 3.

Throughout the free spins, you will get to collect these symbols, and once the feature comes to an end, you will get to play a new game thanks to them!

Besides, you can also retrigger the free spins feature should you land at least two Scatters, but, worth to mention is that these extra spins are played using the modified paytable!

Now, speaking of the treasure hunt symbols, depending on the number of symbols you have collected, you will get a certain number of free spins in the Treasure Hunt bonus round, and that number can go up to 20!

Here, most feature symbols will be removed, except for the wild, while a new symbol is added to the 1st and 5th reel. Their appearance will also transform certain patterns of symbols, into extra wilds!

But wait, there's more!

Pay attention to a symbol border that you can see only on the last reel surrounding random symbols, as that's a Quad Shot Bonus!

When it appears, it will trigger some fixed jackpots, should it form combos of 5 symbols with the final being within the border!

Verdict

Zulu Treasure has everything you need from an online slot.

Though it has a low RTP percentage in combination with high variance, everything else is pretty decent, starting from its visuals, high-quality animations, simple gameplay and an amazing pack of features!
