Big Five Slots

Lions and rhinos, elephants and buffalo, and some leopards as well – all are present in the Big Five slot coming from the Novomatic collection. 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 25 lines in the game.

Betting options begin at 25 cents too

This is the lowest end of the scale, but it is possible to reach a maximum of $50 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 a tribal mask instead. It’s easy to see as the wild, and it can stand in for almost everything else. The map of Africa appears as the scatter. This can only turn up on the middle three reels of the game.

Plenty of free spin potential yet to come

Stacked scatters mean that you can get up to nine in one spin. Since this is the trigger for some free games, you need between four and nine of them to generate between 10 and 20 free games to play. If you manage to retrigger the spins in the same way while playing them, you can get up to 40 spins this time around.

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

Novomatic 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?
