Serengeti Gold
Serengeti Gold
We’re off to the vast continent that is Africa, in Serengeti Gold slot from Just For The Win.
And If you feel like you’ve played this game before my slot loving chums, don’t worry; you aren’t losing your marbles. The game bears an uncanny resemblance to Serengeti Kings, Raging Rhino and Win A Beest.
But with Microgaming’s licensed HyperHold re-spin feature in action, things could be more exciting (and original) than they first look…
The Graphics
Serengeti Gold slot is set in the African savannah, and the design depicts some rather beautiful scenery as well as native wildlife.
The soundtrack is very upbeat too – with its fair share of African tribal bongo and what sounds suspiciously like a glockenspiel.
Bravo, Just For The Win! I felt right at home.
Serengeti Gold Slot Game Play
Serengeti Gold slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 pay-lines – traditional a bit like myself.
You can place your dusty savannah bets from 0.20 to 100 coins per spin.
The slot is also medium variance and comes with maximum pay-out of 2500x your bet.
Your pay table has 12 icons including; buffaloes, rhinos, cheetahs, and elephants as your premium symbols and the J, Q, K, and A playing cards for the less valuable icons. The highest paying symbol is the wise old elephant, this chap will net you 20x for landing 5x.
You’ll also come across the mighty lion as your Wild, plus a Free Spins symbol AND a Bonus Symbol.
The Bonuses
Free Spins
Landing 3x Free Spin symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 will trigger off the Free Spins wheel.
Now you’ll get a spin on the wheel where each segment has a number of Free Spins and a win multiplier on it. Spin to see what you’ll be playing with – you can win between 10 and 25 free spins and a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x.
Finally, this bonus can also be re-triggered. Yikes!
Hyperhold Feature
You will have seen this rather excellent re-spin feature before in the likes of 6 Tokens Of Fire or Adventures of Doubloon Island.
Hit 6x or more bonus symbols in the base game and you’ll set off this bonus. The reels with bonus icons on will then lock in place you’ll have 3 re-spins.
Re-Spins
Land more scatter icons during the round, and you’ll receive 3 more re-spins! This will continue til you run out of spins, or you fill the whole screen with coins…
When the re-spins have finished the remaining gold coin scatters will reveal either a cash prize, or a jackpot. If you match 4x of the same on the coins, one of these jackpots will be yours:
Mini – 25x your bet
Minor – 100x your bet
Major – 500x your bet
Mega – 2000x your bet
The Monkey Verdict
How do I feel about the Serengeti Gold slot?
Well, after a lengthy spin session I came to this conclusion: a few more bonuses and a slightly higher jackpot would turn this game from good to excellent.
But it’s not a bad way to bring Africa’s dusty plains to your front room…
