Located in Kenya and Tanzania, the Serengeti is one of the world’s top destinations for those who want to see migrating animals in their natural habitat; Serengeti Lions is an online slot based on this vast wilderness and it tempts us with two separate bonus features and a chance to win the Stellar Jackpots.
Serengeti Lions is a five reel slot with four rows and forty fixed paylines; behind those gold-rimmed reels there’s a view of the sun-baked landscape in which sparse vegetation ekes out a meagre lifestyle.
There are five animals which represent the high value symbols and these are the lion, the elephant, the rhinoceros, the zebra and the pink flamingo; 9, J, Q, K and A are the lower values (why no 10?).
The sun rising over Kilimanjaro is the wild symbol and it will replace all others to help form winning combinations except for the diamond scatter icon.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
This round is triggered by landing five scattered diamonds anywhere from left to right on the reels; first you must pick two diamonds which will determine the number of spins (5, 8 or 10) and the multiplier for any wins (3x, 5x or 8x). You’ll get one chance to swap these awards for better (or worse) ones and then the spins will get underway. It’s not possible to trigger more spin from within this phase.
Hold ‘N’ Spin
This is triggered whenever you land two, three or four diamond scatter symbols anywhere starting from the left hand side; those reels containing the diamonds will freeze in place and you’ll get three spins to try and land the two more diamonds needed to trigger the free spins. Landing one more diamond will reset the number of spins to three again.
Stellar Jackpots
When you spin the reels you will see little spaceships appear on the lines between the reels and if you can land three this round will be triggered.
You must pick your way through six rounds where the objects will reveal a prize, an advance to the next round/prize or a lost life (lose three and the round is over). Make it through all six and you’ll reach the jackpot round where you will pick spaceships until you find three matching ones for the Major, Minor or Mini prizes. By the way this isn’t a progressive jackpot so the prize amounts are fixed.
Verdict
Serengeti Lions is a good-looking slot with plenty to recommend including two creative bonus features and an interesting jackpot game; it comes with a nice high RTP of 97.01% and is well worth checking out.
