ABOUT
Pragmatic Play’s African Elephant takes players on a safari to discover the cradle of civilization’s diverse biosphere. Containing high-paying bonuses, an innovative, unique feature, and a massive jackpot of 15,000x the bet, African Elephant is the adventure players wouldn’t want to miss.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Despite not being a follow-up to the legendary Raging Rhino, African Elephant does an excellent job representing the spirit of Africa. Endless bristling grass fields and acacia canopies make up the background, covering the gentle water creek where the animals gather to escape the baking sun. On top of the 5x4 grid with 20 fixed paylines, players can spot various local faunas, from the mighty wildebeests to cunning meerkats. Although, none can top the majestic Wild Elephants, whose value lies at 75x the bet for five of a kind.
Rated at a 4.5/5 on the volatility level, African Elephant is one of the most unpredictable slots Pragmatic Play has created. The game also boasts an RTP of 96.04%. With high volatility, African Elephant is a potential mixed bag of ups and downs as players journey to the end game goal of 15,000x the bet.
Wild Shape is the first feature in the African Elephant. Unique in its design, Wild Shape can appear at the end of any spin, framing random positions on the board. When activated, Wild Shape turns the respective symbols into Wilds, which replace all icons except for Scatters in a combination.
Players can gather at least three Scatters on a single spin to get to the Free Spin bonus round. For 3, 4, or 5 Scatters, the game rewards players with 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, respectively. In the main event, Wild Shapes appear in every spin, drastically increasing the chance of winning combinations.
Another way to get to the lucrative bonus round is by paying 100x the stake. By doing so, the game will reward players with a random number of 3 to 5 Scatters.
Roshtein’s Take
African Elephant is one of the more refined games Pragmatic Play has created. Beautifully crafted, containing straightforward gameplay with a niche feature that works well in the base game and the bonus round but not without action and excitement. The game deserves a title as one of the best African-themed slots in the market.
However, the game feels empty of creative input as it does not try to be outstanding. And the gameplay falls flat because of dead spins. Despite this, the game is still a solid slot for beginners. So if you are a new player looking for something simple yet entertaining, I highly recommend African Elephant.
