Big Five Slots

Lions and rhinos, elephants and buffalo, and some leopards as well – all are present in the Big Five slot. While it has the basic letters and numbers in play as well, this is a pleasing slot based around the animals that have made the African savannah a popular vacation spot for many.

Reels and paylines for Big Five

There is nothing new here, as we get five reels and one payline in the game.

Betting options

The coin size ranges from 0.25 to 2, with 1-3 coins per line. It is possible to reach a maximum of 15 on a spin.

Do any of those animals behave as special icons?

Perhaps surprisingly, no. While lions often crop up as wild icons, the creators of this game have opted to include other symbols. It is easy to see the special icons, and they can stand in for almost everything else. The scatter appears as well, which is a key part of the experience.

Plenty of free spin potential yet to come

Stacked symbols mean that you can get up to nine in one spin. Since this is the trigger for some free games, you need to collect the right symbols to generate your free rounds to play. If you manage to retrigger the spins in the same way while playing them, you can increase your total.

You can also look out for a reel respin, which triggers if you can get a stack of matching animals on the first reel in a free game. The respin then takes place with reel one locked, plus any other appearances of the same animal, plus wild icons. This gives you a great opportunity to try and get a prize.

Big Five takes the creatures and builds a game around them

Microgaming (Apricot) has also included some other features here – features that manage to make this game better still. Will you enjoy the multiple highlights when you journey to the African savannah?
