Developer

A company that was founded in 2015, Pragmatic Play managed to launch over 80 high quality slot machines in just a couple of very short years, and they show no sign of stopping.

Their slots are modern, they use HTML5 technology and they can be played on desktops and mobile devices alike. I haven’t seen unique stories being told in too many of these games, but the features do bring some new options to the table, and they have plenty of high volatility options as well.

How To Play It

The option to select the number of active lines isn’t there, you always get 50, but there is some customization when it comes to the line bet. It involves the use of 1 to 10 coins, while their denomination is between $0.01 and $0.50. This allows for a bet of up to $5 to be placed per line, and up to $250 total. At the same time, you can get the wager as low as $0.50 per spin, if you’re working with a smaller budget.

You get 5×4 reels here, and there are 50 paylines that you’re placing bets on. The bet options which I’ve mentioned above are the ones that Pragmatic likes to use in all their slots.

Special Features

On the list of features, the Lion will be a major contributor, acting as the wild and being used as a substitute whenever it is possible. The downside would be that you can only have it land on the last four reels. Once there though, Lions will replace any type of regular symbol.

With the Bonus symbol appearing on three out of five reels (1, 3, 5), you will need this scatter on all of them, so that you can trigger its feature. This will consist of 8 free spins, for which you get one new wild during each round. These are sticky wilds, which keep occupying more positions, round after round. By the end of the feature, you can have quite a few of them around, to help you out. Additional free spins are won, whenever there is at least one Bonus icon present.

Maximum Payouts

1,000x the bet is the amount that you can win while playing Safari King. The game has the potential to pay as much as $250,000, as a result of a single spin.

The volatility of the game is marketed as a 4 out of 5, so it’s medium-high, and it pays accordingly.

When it comes to its RTP, it’s at 96.49%, which is above the average of the modern slot machine, and a decent enough number.

Summary

Safari King has some decent rewards to give away, and I especially like the potential of the free spins, with their accumulating sticky wilds. If you like medium-high volatility slots, this one is worth a look.
