Serengeti Kings

Serengeti Kings Slot NetEnt

Serengeti Kings is one of the new releases from the development team at NetEnt and as the name suggests this is their take on a safari styled slot which they have executed well. Personally, I was a little disappointed with the graphics but when I saw how cool the features are the graphics didn’t disappoint for long. 

Game Play

The slot plays out over a 5x4 reel set that has 26 lines which is quite small with regards to the large gaming area. The pay outs are not going to blow you away with the highest pay out being 50x your stake when you land a single combination of wilds and 1,300x for landing a whole screen. The return to player stands at 96.7% which is pretty good when compared to competitor slots. The big features in this slot come from two types of free spins, scatters, multipliers and wild symbols.

Betting and Rewards

Even though there are 26 active lines in play in Serengeti Kings, there are only ten coins to use meaning that you get to pick the value of the coins you use, putting you more in charge of the game. The bet range you can choose from starts from as little as $0.01 and goes up to $10 meaning that the total bet range is $0.10 to $100. With this variety the slot will appeal to all types of players from the penny players to the high rollers.

The slot offers a buy feature that offers you three variants which is the same as landing three to five scatters on your reels. The regular symbols in the slot will pay out 5x your stake at most and there are other multipliers on offer too. Features The wild is the feature that you will see most often in Serengeti Kings and when it appears it can substitute for all other symbols to create winning combinations, and the best prizes are paid when you get wilds that cover the entire lines. There are two game modes on offer, first is the Lion Spins which play in the game’s daytime mode and the Panther Spins which come into play when the game is in night-time mode. Each mode comprises of 12 rounds and your aim is to collect as many lions and panthers as you can in the special meter.

Once the 12 spins are played out you are awarded with a feature where you can then use all the symbols that you have collected in your meter up to that point. If you land the lion and panther symbols on top of each other the symbols you have collected, are then placed on the game area. You will also see multipliers increasing and symbols that can randomly transform into wilds. The multipliers are present for each of your active pay lines, they begin with a x1 and continue to increase for the whole time you are in the same game mode and forming winning combinations. Once you have played out all 12 rounds and enter the other mode the multipliers reset, and the process starts all over again. You need to land three or more scatters to activate the twelve free spins during which you can collect the lions and panthers to use as stated above.

Design

The slot has been designed and takes its inspiration from a safari and this is a theme that many developers have covered. This slot by NetEnt has used the design well particularly in the high value paying symbols, however the usual lower paying playing card symbols have a leopard print background but are not that special.

Conclusion

I found Serengeti Kings a lot of fun to play and it is nice to find a slot that offers unique features and not something that has been done again and again. Even though the top prizes aren’t the best I have come across I would suggest giving this one a spin.
