Theme – explore the natural wonders of Africa

With an African safari theme, the Serengeti King slot takes you to northern Tanzania to the infamous geographic region. With cartoon style graphics, you’ll see mountains in the backdrop as well as trees and rocks on the plains. The soundtrack is that of a traditional bush tribe which compliments the action perfectly.

On the reels, symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 royals which are nicely designed as they feature animal skins on them. You’ll also see meerkats, zebras, giraffes, hyenas, lions and panthers. The lion and panther symbols pays the most (the Serengeti Kings) with 3, 4 or 5 on a payline awarding 1, 2 or 5 x your total stake respectively.

The sunset symbol is the wild and appears anywhere on the reels. It replaces all symbols except the scatters. More importantly, 3, 4 or 5 wilds will pay 3, 10 or 50 x your total bet. The half sun/half moon symbol is the scatter and triggers the free spins (more details below).

Serengeti Kings Bonus Features

The Serengeti Kings slot comes with 4 bonus features. The Lion feature comes into play on the 12^th Lion Spin with all collected lion symbols added to the reels. The Panther feature sees all collected panther symbols added to the reels. This can lead to multiplier increases. There are also free spins where all collected symbols are added on your last free spin.

Lion & Panther features

You will begin playing in the Lion Spins mode and then the Panther Spins mode. Each mode last for 12 spins each. During the spins, all lion and panther symbols appearing on the reels are collected into the Loin Counter and the Panther Counter respectively.

On the 12^th Lion Spin, no lion symbols are collected and the Lion feature is triggered. Here, all lion symbols collected in the Lion Counter are randomly added to the reels.

On the 12^th Panther Spin, no panther symbols are collected. Furthermore, the Panther feature is triggered when all collected panther symbols added randomly onto the reels. The settings turns from night to day here too.

Now, if a lion symbol is placed on top of a panther symbol or vice versa, a wild symbol is created. If a lion or panther symbol is placed on top of the same symbol or a wild, the multiplier of the symbol increases by 1.

Every payline begins with a 1x multiplier. The multipliers from each symbol is applied and can result in some big multipliers which will dramatically affect your winning potential. Once the 12 spins are over in either mode, the multipliers are reset and the process begins again.

Free Spins feature

There is also a Free Spins feature which is played when you get 3 or more half sun/half moon scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. It will take 206 spins on average to trigger the feature.

You’ll then get 12 free spins. You can get more symbols in the Lion and Panther Counters by triggering the feature with more scatters:

Once in, all lion and panther symbols are collected in their counters as in the base game. On your last free spin, all symbols collected in both meters are randomly added to the reels. This can create wilds and subsequent multipliers.

NetEnt has cottoned on to the trend of having a feature buy option, called the Buy Free Spins feature, you can enter the Free Spins feature with 3, 4 or 5 scatters. Not available to players in the UK (due to regulations introduced by the Gambling Commission), the various options changes with each spin. Expect over 50 x stake for 3 scatters, over 80 x stake for 4 scatters and over 240 x stake for 5 scatters.

Serengeti Kings Review Summary – wilds key to big wins

The Serengeti Kings slot is well designed and looks like a modern edition of the Lion King movie. Graphics aside, it’s about collecting lion and panther symbols so more of them are placed on the reels on your 12^th spin in either mode. It’s similar to the Wild Stays Charges the Pays feature in IGT’s Scarab slot.

However, you can get more lion/panther symbols in the Free Spins feature by triggering the feature with 4 or 5 scatters. This increases your chances of wilds and multipliers. That said, the max win of 1,300 x bet per spin can be won by filling all reels with wilds. This can be done in the base game too.

The bigger wins will come from the multipliers but the low value symbols will make it virtually impossible to win over 1,000 x stake on each spin or free spin. Overall, Serengeti Kings is a decent game but it lacks the power displayed by the lions and panthers.

There are better African safari themed slots available though. Buffalo Blitz Megaways by Playtech offers 10,000 x bet max wins as well as 4 progressive jackpots. Safari of Wealth from Play ‘n GO comes with 5 free spins/payways options and 10,000 x stake top payouts.
