King of Africa Slot machine review

King of Africa

King of Africa, a 5 reel WMS Slot has 20 paylines, offers a top jackpot of $15,000 and  comes with scatter symbols, wild features and Free Spins.

The title of the slot gives the player a good idea of what he’s going to find inside. The picture that most people have when they think of Africa is the one with the continent’s savannah and all the wild and dangerous animals that inhabit it. That’s pretty much what the slot has to offer as far as the graphics are concerned, with the savannah visible in the background image, while the symbols are part animals, part tribal objects. Africa is much more than that, of course, but that’s what this slot chooses to focus on. The symbols offered in this slot have on them images with the logo of the game, with the lone African tree, lions, leopards, elephants, impalas, zebras, warrior shield and spears and the necklace.

While the game has only 20 paylines, the bets use 30 coins each time. They combine 20 coins for the 20 paylines with a 10 coin feature bet. The player chooses the total amount he wants to bet, starting at $0.30 (with $0.01 per line) and going up to $150 ($5 per line). The payouts of up to 3000 coins will mean cash prizes of up to $15,000.

Most symbols will require a minimum of three symbols in order for a payout to be awarded, but the top two symbols on the list will offer payouts for a minimum of two identical symbols. The best paying combo is comprised of five game logos.

The same game logo that awards the jackpot is also the symbol that acts as the wild of this game, substituting for others and helping them get their own combinations formed. The feature symbol is not replaceable with a wild, but all other symbols can benefit from the wild’s presence.

The game’s feature symbol, the one that you pay extra for, will give you payouts as long as you have a minimum of two symbols, but it also gives you access to the round with free spins if you have at least three symbols. The player gets 8 spins which benefit from the presence of a random wild reel.

It’s a good game if you enjoy animal themed slots and it has a few decent features, but we would’ve enjoyed it more if the presence of the free spins didn’t require an additional 50% when the bets were made.
