Safari Gold Megaways

In this release, players can head to the African Savannah, where they will be greeted by various wild animals. Safari Gold follows the same structure as most Megaways slots, with 6 reels and cascading symbols. Whenever a matching combination is formed, those icons will be removed from the board so that additional symbols can drop. Throughout the base game, the beating of drums can be heard in the background, alongside various sound effects associated with different in-game actions.  

Blueprint Gaming is the provider of this slot, with this being one of the many Megaways games that they have released. The popular mechanic, licensed by Big Time Gaming, makes an appearance in a large number of their titles, including the likes of Chilli Picante Megaways and Ted Megaways. However, this isn’t the only mechanic that Blueprint likes to add to their games, with ‘Prize Lines’ and ‘Power Spins’ being prime examples of this. 

Standard symbols in Safari Gold Megaways include 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A icons. Next up are the premium symbols, which are shown as an elephant, a cheetah, a buffalo, and a lion. Should 6 of these animal symbols create a matching combination, players will be awarded with 2x, 2x, 7.5x, or 50x their stake size, respectively.

In terms of special symbols, there are three to cover. First is the wild icon, shown as a sunset behind a tree. Like in most slots, this wild can substitute for any standard symbol across a payline to form a matching combination. Next is the mystery symbol, displayed as the head of a lion, which can randomly transform into any standard symbol. If multiple of these are on the board at the same time, they will all transform into the same icon. Finally, there is a diamond symbol, which is the scatter icon within Safari Gold Megaways.

This online slot game includes one bonus round, which can be activated when four or more scatter symbols appear in any position. A giant wheel will then appear on the screen, comprising of 2 different sections. The inner section is the number of free spins, with the outer section referencing the starting multiplier for the round. Depending on whether 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatter symbols triggered the bonus, the maximum potential number of free spins will be 15, 20, 25, or 30. The starting multiplier can be 1x-10x in all instances.

Speaking of the win multiplier, this will also increase with every matching combination, including any that form due to the cascading feature. Many other slots will incur a limit on this multiplier, perhaps at 20x or 30x. However, this doesn't apply within Safari Gold Megaways. The only limit is the maximum potential win, which sits at 250,000.00. Players can also buy this bonus directly for 100x the stake size, or purchase ten free spins with the minimum number of Megaways for 20x the bet.

With the inclusion of the popular Megaways mechanic and a free spins mode that offers more interaction than most alternatives, this slot has a lot of features to keep players entertained. The multiplier during the bonus also has no upper limit. However, the maximum possible win is capped at 250,000.00.
