African Elephant Slot Review

African Elephant Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The African Elephant slot has 5 reels, 4 rows and 20 fixed paylines. 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on successive reels, beginning from reel 1 and across any payline, will result in a winning combination.

In terms of bet options, you can spin away from 20p to £100 a spin. To change your stake, use the plus and/or minus buttons which appear either side of the main ‘Spin’ button. The layout is exactly the same on all Pragmatic Play games. Non UK players can use Autoplay with up to 1,000 autospins as well as Quick/Turbo Spin for faster spin speeds.

When it comes to return rates, the African Elephant RTP is 96.04%. Marginally above the 96% online slots average, Pragmatic Play have also produced 95.1% and 94.03% RTP versions which may be used at some slots websites in the UK. Verifying which RTP you’re playing with can be determined in the game’s Paytable.

The volatility is high (4.5/5) and there is no hit frequency rate information at time of writing. It terms of payout potential, the African Elephant slot can serve up max wins of 15,000 x your total bet. This can be won, in total, in the Free Spins feature.

Theme – head to the African savanna for patterns of wilds

With a safari theme, the African Elephant slot takes you to the African savanna on a journey to discover wild patterns. Beautifully designed, you’ll see grasslands in the backdrop alongside blue skies, a river and various animals including elephants naturally.

The soundtrack is rather pleasant and has a tribal/local feel to it. Symbols are big and stand out with each having their own coloured border/background. On the reels, you’ll see A, K, Q and J royals. Higher value symbols include meerkats, cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras and rhinos. The rhino is the best paying symbol with 2, 5 or 30 x bet awarded for 3, 4 or 5 across any payline. A screen full of rhinos will result in a 600 x bet payout.

Then you have the Elephant Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. Appearing in the Wild Shape (more details below), 3, 4 or 5 wilds in combination awards 2.5, 12.5 or 75 x your total bet. Finally, there is an Elephants Bonus symbol which appears on all reels and is key to triggering the free spins (again, more information further down).

African Elephant Mobile

Released on the 10^th of April 2023, the African Elephant slot has been created using the latest HTML5 technology. Responsive to any device you opt for, it’s compatible with mobile, laptop, PC and/or tablet devices. This also includes devices operating with iOS, Android, MAC and/or Windows systems.

African Elephant Bonus Features

The African Elephant slot has just 2 bonus features. Randomly on base game spins, shapes will appear on the reels with all symbols inside transforming to Elephant Wilds. This applies on each free spin during the Free Spins feature.

Wild Shape feature

The Wild Shape feature is randomly triggered on any base game spin. Basically, there is a chance for a random shape to appear on the screen at the start of a base game. Marking random positions, all symbols inside the shape transform into Elephant Wild symbols. As mentioned above, 3, 4 or 5 will pay 2.5, 12.5 or 75 x bet respectively.

Free Spins feature

The African Elephant slot benefits from a Free Spins feature. It’s triggered by hitting 3, 4 or 5 Elephants Bonus symbols anywhere on a base game spin. This will reward you with 10, 15 or 25 free spins respectively.

Now, the Wild Shape feature is guaranteed to hit on every single free spin. Furthermore, 3, 4 or 5 Elephants Bonus symbols will give you an additional 10, 15 or 25 free spins respectively, with no limits.

African Elephant Review Summary – simple wild action with misleading win potential

Set in the African savanna, the African Elephant slot follows a long line of slots with a safari/African theme. Graphically, it’s not amazing but it’s very well crafted with plenty of detail in the symbols and various backdrops.

Gameplay wise, it’s rather simple. Randomly on base game spins, shapes appear on the reels which then transform into Elephant Wilds. These can be a couple of random positions. In the Free Spins feature, the Wild Shape feature is in play on every free spin. The bigger wins will naturally come here as a result.

With the African Elephant slot boasts 15,000 x bet max wins, this can only be won in the Free Spins feature. With 20 paylines, a screen full of Elephant Wilds will result in a 1,500 x bet payout. The key to bigger wins is to get wins with Elephant Wilds in the free spins, and plenty of them.

Being high volatility, African Elephant was a tad frustrating truth be told. It does offer big win potential but in the Free Spins feature as a whole. 1,500 x bet per spin/free spin isn’t exactly appealing when there are so many better slot games out there, even with the same theme.

Play ‘n GO’s Win-A-Beest slot boasts multiplier wilds, extra ways to win and a Beest Mode for up to 10,240 x bet payouts. Then you have the King of Cats Megaways slot by Big Time Gaming, where you choose from 2 game modes. Importantly, it offers 56,620 x bet max wins and a 96.72% RTP rate.
