When we talk about the bush telegraph we’re referring to the way news travels in areas where communication seems otherwise impossible. In Microgaming’s Bush Telegraph online slot the news is transmitted by the jungle drums played by an assortment of cheerful-looking animals. This is a colourful game with two distinct bonus features so read on to find out more.
Bush Telegraph is a five reel and fifteen payline slot; those reels are set against the backdrop of lush undergrowth – the ideal habitat for the creatures featured in this game. 10, J, Q, K and A make up the low value symbols but those cuddly animals – a toucan, a warthog and a bush baby – are the higher value ones.
A big ‘Wild’ is of course the wild symbol which substitutes for everything else apart from the seed pod scatter symbol and the Bongo Bonus drum symbol.
Bonus Features
Seed Pod Free Spins
Those bright red seed pods are the key to this feature and you’ll need to land three or more anywhere on the reels to trigger it. You will now win ten free spins during which all wins will be tripled so this can be a profitable diversion.
It’s also possible to re-trigger the feature by landing more scatters in the fee spins.
Bongo Bonus
The drum boys symbols is what’s needed here and you must land three or more of them on an active payline.
It’s a fairly simple game and all you have to do is click three of the jungle drums which are displayed on the screen; each is worth a coin amount and this feature can also be triggered during the free spins.
Gamble Feature
After any win, just use the ‘Gamble’ button which appears underneath the reels to wager that win on a red/black card prediction game. You can double your money with correct guess or lose it all it you’re wrong.
Bush Telegraph Online Slot Playing Tips
Play with maximum paylines to have the best chance of triggering the Bongo Bonus – it only triggers on an active payline.
Use the gamble feature with care, it’s a tempting offer but an easy way to quickly lose your money.
Verdict
There’s not too much wrong with this slot; a bright and colourful design, some jungle sound effects and two bonus features make it worth checking out.
