Theme and Appearance
Appearance-wise, Serengeti Kings is impressive. The game is set on the African plains, with mountains, trees and rocks in the background. The reels are filled with theme-fitting symbols, including A, K, Q, J and 10 royals as the low payers. Instead of being plain, the royals feature animal skins to fit in with the African theme. You'll also see animals including giraffes, zebras, lions, hyenas and panthers as the high payers. The most rewarding symbols are the panther and the lion, which pay 1, 2 or 5 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. You form a winning combination by matching 3 or more icons on a payline from left to right, starting from reel 1. The game also features a wild symbol, which takes the form of a sunset. The wild can appear anywhere on the grid and substitutes for all symbols, bar the scatter. The wild also acts as a symbol in its own right, paying 3, 10 or 50 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
Betting and Prizes
You can enjoy Serengeti Kings from as little as 10p per spin. If you want to increase your wager, you can do so up to £100 per spin. This wide betting range makes the slot suitable for gamblers of all sorts, from recreational players to high rollers. The most rewarding symbol is the wild, which pays 3, 10 or 50 times your stake for matching 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
Slot Features
Like most slots, Serengeti Kings comes with various bonus features including a Free Spins and Lion and Panther feature. Below, we explore these in more detail.
Lion and Panther Feature
The slot begins with the Lion Spins mode and then moves onto the Panther Spins mode. Each mode lasts for a maximum of 12 spins. During the spins, any lion or panther symbols that appear on the grid are collected in the counters to the side of the reels. After the spins are complete, all the wins are paid out and the symbols are returned to the reels. If one symbol is placed on top of another, a wild symbol is formed. If a panther or lion symbol is placed on top of a wild, the multiplier is increased by 1. Once the 12 spins are over in either mode, the multipliers are reset and the process begins again.
Free Spins feature
The game also comes with a Free Spins round, which is triggered by landing 3 or more scatters anywhere on the grid. When you do, you'll begin the round with 12 free spins. If you activate the feature with more scatters, you can get more symbols in the Panther and Lion counters. If you trigger the round with 4 scatters, you'll start the Free Spins with the number of symbols collected in the meter so far. If you start the round with 5 scatters, 5 additional lion and panther symbols are added to the counters. During the round, all lion and panther symbols are collected in the meters as in the main game. On your final free spin, the symbols collected in the meters are added to the reels for more chances to win.
Buy Free Spins feature
As well as activating the Free Spins round naturally, you have the option to buy into the round. Depending on your wager, you can expect wins of 50x your stake for 3 scatters, 80x your stake for 4 and more than 240x your stake for 5 scatters.
