Hot Safari

Hot Safari is pokies game developed by Pragmatic Play and is all about the excitement of the hunt in amazing natural settings. Not to mention innovative game rules and real chances to win big at every turn.  Hot Safari lets players explore the vast expanses of the African savannah, and its famous inhabitants. The bright sunlight illuminates the reels from behind and gives the game screen a bright, orange glow. The final result is quite stunning, despite the fact that it leaves no space for other background details whatsoever.

The game play

Hot Safari features realistic nature sounds and a tribal soundtrack to put the players in the mood for some serious hunting. Hot Safari benefits from an easy gameplay, with an uncluttered command bar located at the bottom of the game screen, right below the reels.

The five spinning reels of the game display three symbols each, with an extra reel on the right covered in multipliers. Winning combinations of symbols appearing on any of the 25 fixed paylines running across the screen award a cash prize, which is in turn multiplied according to the value displayed on the Multiplier reel.

All you need to do is use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the size of your wager, before hitting play to set the reels into motion.  As when playing with other pokies bigger wager means bigger wins in the future, especially given the generous Multipliers available at every turn. Try out the Autoplay mode to set the game on autopilot and let the reels spin on their own. You can switch back to the regular game mode at any time, to adjust your settings for instance.

Symbols in the game

The reels of Hot Safari are mostly inhabited by wild African animals, but the paytable of the game can still be split into two different groups of symbols. The first group contains card-inspired symbols, with low payouts as per usual. The number 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace appear frequently on the game screen to give you more chances to win several times over with them.

The actual animal symbols are worth a lot more, and are definitely more interesting in terms of their realistic design as well. You will have a chance to meet a Meerkat, an Antelope, a Zebra, a Rhino and a mighty Elephant. Stay alert so you do not miss those beautiful creatures during this unique safari.

There are two more animals on the reels of Hot Safari, and these can bring more than just cash prizes to the table.

• The Lion is the Wild card of the game, which is somehow very fitting. The King of all animals can replace any basic symbol to help you score more winning combinations. Besides, a Super Wild symbol landing on the 6th reel adds a Lion on every reel automatically. When one of them lands in the middle of its reel, it expands to cover it entirely.
• The Baboon is a Scatter that awards both money and ten Free Spins. All you need to do is land three or more of them anywhere on the reels at the end of your turn. The Free Spins can be retriggered as many times as lady luck smiles at you, the sky is the limit there.

Free Spins

The mandrill monkey with the white and red face is the Scatter Symbol of the game, and when landing on three or more of this, you trigger the Free Spins Feature. You can trigger this on any reel, and three symbols grant you 10 Free Spins.

All wins in the feature pays 1x the total bet, and these spins are basically endless. You can re-trigger the Free Spins within the feature, and there are no max spins.
