Play Zimba & Friends for Free

Zimba and Friends is a modern and dynamic slot game with beautiful graphics and an epic soundtrack that blends wild animal sounds and tribal music. The transparent reels let you admire the quasi-impenetrable jungle that covers the entire game screen, with monkeys, lions and other wild animals popping onto into view randomly.

The Lion King movie was clearly the developers’ main source of inspiration here, and Zimba and Friends is very reminiscent of it right from the start. That being said, this particular slot game has a very addictive atmosphere that is both beautiful to look at and entertaining as well.

In terms of gameplay, Zimba and Friends is based on 5 reels and 12 fixed paylines. Use the up and down arrows to bet up to 240 credits per turn and spin the reels once you are ready to start betting. The bet max and autoplay options, both classics, are available at any time if you want to spice up the game a little bit.

Zimba and Friends clearly has a lower variance than your average slot game, which makes small cash prizes particularly easy to come by.

Bigger wins do exist, but we had to be extra patient to reach them in the base game. The paytable contains both the usual card icons, wrapped in vines, and some tropical fruits as well as different animals that are the main protagonists of the game. Lions, zebras, elephants and more can award a maximum prize of x1000.

Things can get even more exciting in Zimba and Friends thanks to the various special features that the game has to offer. The monkey symbols, for instance, are wilds and can replace the basic icons on the reels at will. When a monkey lands on reel 3, all other monkeys will expand in random patterns across the reels, triggering extra cash prizes and a bonus round of 6 free spins.

The giraffe symbol can only appear on reels 2 and 4, and plays the part of an extra wild card. It can expand over entire reels at once and trigger 1 to 6 extra free spins for the lucky players. On top of all this, Zimba and Friends features 3 random jackpots that can be awarded at any time during the game - so stay put and keep the reels spinning for as long as you dare.

Zimba and Friends is a fun and dynamic slot game with an original double wild feature, both of which able to expand and cover even more positions than usual. Wilds are rather easy to score in Zimba and Friends, and we were able to witness their expanding powers and win free spins quite often when we tested the game.

Scoring big cash prizes may prove a little challenging in Zimba and Friends, because of the game’s low variance. The best way to try and counteract this is to play all-in, as much as possible.
