Wild Animals

Introducing Wild Animals slot

Wild Animals is one of the latest releases from the gaming team at Red Rake Gaming which provides players with the opportunity to land some decent wins coupled with some decent features too. The graphics are outstanding and one game I have really been looking forward to playing. With the focus on the wilder regions of the planet and the nature connection this is a slot that is sure to appeal to the masses.

Many historians and scientists believe that the world began in Africa, so it seems only fitting that Red Rake Gaming has looked towards this place for their inspiration. This new slot invites you to join them on a safari over the huge plains of Africa, so if you are ready, grab your binoculars and take part in a safari that treks off across the huge African plains to experience the sounds and sights of Africa like you will have never seen before. It is true that this is an online slot that has huge ambitions and from what I have seen this slot most definitely will live up to its introduction and so much more.

Theme & Design

Wild Animals from Red Rake is totally dedicated to the wild animals that you would find in North America, or maybe from a European country. I really liked the forest that features in the back of the game screen and the well-executed nature theme and design. The slot looks unique thanks to the way it has been designed and the use of the colour red is fabulous and really brings across the stunning sun sets that you would expect to find in Africa. The only way to sum up the design and theme is beautiful whilst also giving off the impression of the hot and humid conditions which makes the game visually welcoming.

The interface is also aesthetically pleasing with all of the game buttons being designed to replicate the animal skins, such as zebra stripes or leopard spots and although these are only tiny things they prove that the developers are dedicated to providing the whole package regardless of how small the details are.

Symbols

When it comes to the symbols you can expect to find all types of wildlife animals which include rhinos, jaguars, zebras, giraffes, elephants, and so on. There are the usual playing card symbols 9 through to Ace and the feature symbols which are represented by the usual logos, the wild is represented by the King of the Jungle the mighty lion which can expand and stretch across the entire reel, and it can also substitute for any missing symbols to create winning combinations.

Gameplay

Wild Animals plays out over a 5x3 reel set and provides players with a massive 243 ways to win. There are scatters, wilds as well as a wild fusion minigame. The rewards can rise as high as 2,000x your stake with the only slight let down being the return to player which is a little lower than its competition sitting at 95.30%. Below your game screen you will find buttons where you can tailor the game to your specification and these are (starting from the left) you will find the pay table, coins value, coins/line, lines, total bet, spin and bet max. With everything being so well set out you can easily get started.

Betting & Winning

You can bet as many as 30 coins and doing so provides you with 243 ways to win and this is a good deal. The minimum you can bet is $0.30 per spin and this raises to $30 per spin. The top jackpot that you can expect to land is 2,000x your stake and although this may not be the most profitable slot it will not leave you feeling down. There is a promise of a good pay out, but you will have to make your own decision on whether you agree with that or not. The one point that may make players wary to the point that they do not even give the slot a spin and this is because the odds are lower than most of the other new slots currently available.

Features

The best feature that is on offer in this slot has to ne the wild fusion minigame where you will find that there is a jackpot which makes it possible for you to land 2,000x you stake, however to get to this you need to land the bonus logo symbols on your 1st, 3rd and 5th reels. From this, the minigame will give you three spins to start with as well as 7 wolf symbols which are placed randomly on your screen. You will see that you either get wolves or blanks in the other positions during the re-spins that follow. Your aim is to try and lock new Wolves and when you do the number of free spins reverts to three.

The wolves can merge to create bigger symbols, and the bigger the symbol the higher your potential reward could be. Once you have used all your lives or spins the feature finishes and you are awarded with your payment. To win you need to have the wolf symbols filling the positions on your bonus reels. Finally, once the feature is underway you are provided with access to the free spins feature where you can combine the wolf symbols to create bigger symbols and higher wins.

Conclusion

Wild Animals is an interesting slot that does give enough opportunities to land big winnings. I was disappointed that the return to player 95.30% is lowered as this lowers the odds on landing winnings and whilst for this reason I find it hard to recommend but if you are just looking for a new experience it will probably do the job well.

This is a great online slot that has solid mechanics and is cool when it comes to the visuals and overall design. The free spins are the main feature focus and I am glad to say that this is where the most win potential can be found, and I did manage to activate the feature several times when I tried the slot. With everything that this slot offers, it is the right time to go wild and follow the wild life in this one-of-a-kind slot as you will not forget it in a hurry!
