Conga Beat

With Conga Beat, players get a slot with 5 reels and 20 paylines, which was created by Neo Games. The slot offers its players a jackpot of $100,000, plus wilds, scatters and multipliers.

Conga Beat is African themed, and it revolves around the traditional African symbols we've all come to recognize. The background used for the reels is an African hut, with straw roofing and the game logo on top, while behind the building you can see the African savannah. The game makes use of playing card symbols from J to A, but they're decorated in the African style, so they don't stand out too much. The next five symbols in the game are African masks with different drawings and shapes. Three special symbols are used: the wild (man playing the drums), the scatter (drawing of men dancing) and the bonus symbol (traditional musical instruments).

With 20 paylines available, Conga Beat allows players to wager a single coin on each one, but it offers the option of setting the coin value, which is between $0.10 and $10. The maximum bet becomes $200, which is clearly a high roller's wager, not something most people would be able to afford. The top jackpot with the maximum coin value is $100,000. The blue African mask is the one that gives away the big prize, and five of them are needed for that to happen.

The wild symbol, with the man playing the drums, will substitute for the majority of the game's symbols, the one exception being the bonus and scatter symbols. An additional advantage of the wild is that it uses a multiplier whenever it helps form a combo, and its value is chosen randomly from 10x, 5x and 2x.

Next, we have the game's scatter, which will show up anywhere on the reels and award prizes, as long as there are at least three of them. The three scatter minimum will award 5 times the total bet made, while four scatters will pay 20 times the bet and five scatters will pay 500 times the bet.

The final symbol with a special role is the bonus symbol, and three of them are needed for the bonus round to be triggered. The more of them the better though, and the bigger the prizes that are awarded.

An enjoyable game, especially for players that love African culture, or want to visit the continent some day.
