The Photo Safari game is made up of 5 reels, each one 3 symbols high. There are 20 paylines, playing from left to right.
Wild – The Wild symbol is the “Bongos”, substituting for all symbols other than Bonus, Free Spin and Scatter symbols. Wild symbols will multiply the bet by 50 if you collect 3, by 500 if you collect 4 and by 5000 if you collect 5.
Scatter – The Scatter symbol is the “Photo Spool”. 2 Scatter symbols will multiply the bet by 2, 3 will multiply the bet by 3, 4 will multiply the bet by 30 and 5 will multiply the bet by 300.
The Bonus symbol is the “Camera”.
Bonus Features:
Free Spins – Three or more of the “Photo Spool” Scatter symbols will activate the game’s Free Spin bonus. You will be awarded 15 free spin, which cannot be re-triggered. During this feature the “Photo Spool” Scatter symbol becomes Wild.
To activate the game’s Bonus feature you need to collect 3 of the Bonus “Camera” symbols. You will now have a view through the lens of a camera, with animals that you need to choose to click on. You can click on up to 3, each one offering a cash prize.
Conclusion
Photo Safari has a well designed aesthetic. The game successfully traverses reality and an animated, cartoonish world. The animal symbols are essentially cartoons, helping to create a light-hearted tone. The African Savanna makes for an impressive background and the bonus features are well designed, offering depth to the game. The bonuses are relatively basic, offering little you won’t have seen before. We could use some re-triggered free spins, but we at least have the additional Scatters during this feature. The House Edge is steep 5.83%, which is much higher than the average slots game. This alone makes the game one we would recommend you don’t play.
