How to play African Quest

From the dramatic music to the slick graphics, this nifty little slot certainly has the flavour of the African plains. Along with the 9-A royals, you’ll see most of the Big Five safari game, plus a few friends! Mid-tier symbols are the giraffe, zebra, rhino and elephant. Most impressive of all is the golden-maned lion, who can appear in stacks of up to three and pays the highest.

There is also a Wild symbol: a landscape of the savanna, and finally, the African golden coin which can appear on any reel, and acts as the game’s bonus trigger. The coin also pays for three or more in any position. Wilds substitute for all but the scatter.

Free Spins bonus

Players get to choose the parameters of their bonus round. The options are as follows, with the number of spins based on the number of scatters that triggered:

• 5, 10 or 15 spins with 3x and 4x multipliers

• 8, 15 or 20 spins with 2x and 3x multipliers

• 12, 25 or 40 spins with 1x and 2x multipliers

The multipliers are activated on wild symbols that form part of a win. They can stack when several wilds are present, up to a maximum of 64x! Extra coins can also add new spins.

Hyperspins

The most unusual aspect of African Quest is the Hyperspins feature, active on all base game spins. After a spin is completed, players can spin again at their selected bet level - or choose to respin any of the reels for a chance to make a winning combination, or find an extra scatter. Any number of reel respins can be made, on any of the five reels. At the bottom of each reel, a price is displayed: this is the cost of that respin, based on the odds of a win. Respins start at 0.01 per reel where no obvious win chance exists, and can run to several thousands of pounds/Euros depending on the available combinations and chances!

African Quest summary and stats

African Quest is played on a five reel set with four rows of symbols, and it has a total of 1024 left to right betways. The overall return is a not too shabby 96.52%, though this is based on base game play - when utilising the Hyperspins replays, the anticipated return may well shift to reflect the new odds.

This is a high variance game, and not for the faint hearted! Bets start low at 0.10 per spin, through to just 30.00, which could put off high rollers at first glance. However, individual reel bets can really bring some risk and drama into the mix. Keen strategists will enjoy playing the odds and building winning combinations to bet against on repeat. There is a decent 5600x payout on offer as well, which does make this a very attractive slot.
