The wide savannah, the wild animals and the endless sky must mean we’re on an African safari – either that or we’re at Longleat Safari Park on a sunny day. On this occasion though we are on the great continent of Africa and we’re there to take photos of the majestic animals which populate the environment.  That’s the premise of Photo Safari, a new online slot from Play N Go.

Photo Safari features five reels and twenty paylines and those reels spin in a wooden frame through which you can see a wide grassy plain with a mountain (Kilimanjaro?) in the distance.  The basic symbols are 10, J, Q, K and A carved out of pieces of wood but the higher value symbols are a range of cheerful-looking animals.

There’s a zebra, a giraffe, an elephant and a lion, all of which look too friendly to be able to defend themselves in the real wild.  There’s also a camera which activates the bonus game, a roll of film scatter which starts the free spins and a wild symbol displaying a shield and drums.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

Landing three or more of the film scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during the basic game will trigger the free spins feature.  You will receive a generous fifteen free spins and a nice touch is that the reels all turn into rolls of film when the reels spins.

Unfortunately you can’t win more free spins while playing this bonus round.

Photo Shoot Bonus Round

This is an interesting mini-game and it’s triggered by landing three of the camera bonus symbols on an active payline.  You’ll be taken to a screen where you look through a camera viewfinder to try and spot photo opportunities in the long grass.

Once you’ve taken three pictures you will receive a cash prize depending on the animals you discovered.

Verdict

Play N Go have made a real effort with the theme here and the music is a combination of jungle drums and animal noises.  We all like a free spins round and the Photo Shoot bonus is a creative game.
