Pride and Prey

It’s a trip to the African savannah with Pride and Prey. Developed by the team at Red 7, in collaboration with WMS Gaming, this is a slot that channels the magnificent beasts of the region. Lions, lionesses, giraffes and zebras are all represented on the board, amongst a range of other symbols which make up the bulk of the action. It’s all set against a visually stunning backdrop that safari and wildlife fans will love. The animated graphics are easy on the eye throughout, and capture a realism that makes this an impressive change from other slots with similar themes.

The game is set across five reels, so there’s a standard feel to proceedings. The reels stand three positions high, framed in twine beneath the baking hot African sun. No matter the weather outside where you are, the realistic feel to the game action means you could just as easily be basking in the heat with the animals. To the left of the reels you’ll notice a Rewards board, which you can toggle on and off from the ‘Rewards’ button. This adds something a bit extra, over and above the standard reels – we’ll look at this in more detail in a moment.

The aim of the game is to line up matching symbols – either sufficient to trigger the rewards, or in matching combinations in the usual way. Line up three or more matching symbols in adjacent reel positions on any of the 20 paylines in the game, and you’ll get paid out a multiple of your stake, depending on the value of the combination. The highest value the symbols you’re matching, and the higher your stake, the more you can win for these matching combos.

The betting ranges start at 10p per spin, ranging up to £200 for those that want to push the game to its limits. When you consider the main jackpot, at 200 coins, there’s clearly mileage here for some massive wins. To add to the excitement, you’re playing against a 97.52% return to player percentage – amongst the very highest you’ll find on any slots. This means Pride and Prey has a slim house edge, as well as being a potentially high paying slot.

Alongside the Rewards, you’ll find several other symbols that can appear on your board from time to time, triggering the various additional features that come with this game.

Feature Symbols

There are two main feature symbols in Pride and Prey. The first is the Wild symbol, which you’ll recognise immediately when you see it. When this appears it behaves in the usual way, substituting for any missing symbols to help you complete paylines. Line up this alongside a combination of matching symbols, and you’ll be paid as if you’d landed an extra symbol in your combination. As well as replacing missing symbols on your payline, wilds also payout a win when you land three or more, ranging up to 20x your stake.

Alongside the wild, there’s also a scatter symbol, the Free Bonus symbol, which triggers the main game bonus feature. The wild will not substitute for that, so you need to land these in true form before you can start the bonus feature.

Bonuses and Jackpots

The Rewards feature is the most obvious bonus available in Pride and Prey, represented by the meters to the left of the reels. This runs continuously throughout the game, with the meters filling up as you land more symbols – whether or not these form part of a winning combination. These award multipliers from 1x right up to 25x, as well as awarding you with a number of free spins in some cases, depending on the value of the meter you’ve completed. It’s a nice feature that helps keep the action flowing as you play, ensuring you’re never too far away from a nice perk.

The free spins bonus awards you with an instant allocation of 8 free spins, to begin immediately at the end of your previous spin. There are no wilds on the board at the start of this round, but they can appear as the round wears on. Symbols are slashed along the way, turning into wilds for future spins.

If your balance drops below the value of your previous spin, you’re also given another chance, through the Wager Saver feature. Spin for a final time to add either 1x, 3x or 5x your stake, a lifeline so you can keep spinning to try and recover your balance.
