Savanna's Life Slots
If you are a frequent player of land-based slot machines, then you might already be familiar with this slot machine by Euro Games Technology. If not, then you will be pleased to hear that you can now enjoy the wild and wonderful action of Savanna's Life online with your desktop computer screen.
The 5-reel slot machine has 20 paylines, upon which spinners have the chance to line up the African themed symbols into winning combinations for maximum wins worth 1,000 credits. The game also serves up some nice and simple bonus gameplay features such as conventional wild wins and free spins.
The Great Savannas of Africa
The great savannas of Africa are known for their natural beauty, offering a unique habitat for some of the world's rarest and most spectacular animals. With that in mind, it is no surprise that this video slot machine by EGT takes players on a spinning safari to see some wonderful wildlife specimens such as monkeys, zebras, elephants and the almighty lion. Keeping players safe along the way through the wilderness are a couple of local guides, one female and another male character who are presented wearing all of the traditional finery of the Masai Mara tribes-people.
This new online slot machine does a great justice to its theme thanks to some top quality design work by the game makers. The game screen is presented with a backdrop of roaming wildebeest among the trademark yellow grass of the savanna biome while the reels themselves are adorned with a satisfying spread of colour. However, the most impressive thing about this game is the fact that its artwork is incredibly detailed and realistic, even though the illustrations are rendered in two dimensions.
The Riches of the Land
Savanna's Life has 20 paylines, making it a fairly middle of the road slot machine when it comes the the number of winning opportunities. Players can even spin the reels with fewer paylines (15, 10, 5 or 1) if they want to limit the amount of money that they place as a total stake for each spin. That is because the total wager is calculated with the number of active paylines multiplied by the following bet per line options: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20. So, all in all, the game's maximum possible overall stake is a fairly low 4 credits, meaning that the game is ideal for casual spinners who don't want to go overboard with their spending.
The returns available on the reels are presented in the paytable below, with each value representing the various line bet multipliers that will be awarded whenever two or more of the same icons appear on a triggered payline.
Wild by Nature
This slot machine will take players on one of the wildest spinning adventures of their lives, with wins that could turn a maximum bet of 4 credits into a jackpot of 1,000 credits. Helping players to keep their betting balance moving in the right direction are a couple of special, albeit quite straightforward extra gameplay features.
The first of these features is a standard wild symbol – as represented by the game's almighty lion icon. This symbols will essentially give players a bit of a bonus boost by substituting for other icons which pay their wins as line bet multipliers like those in the paytable above. The only symbol in Savanna's Life that doesn't offer its wins as a line bet multiplier is the “scatter” icon, depicted by a sunset image of the beautiful African landscape. The reason that this icon won't pay line wins is because it doesn't need to align on the paylines to give a reward. In fact, the symbol will offer total bet prizes worth 2x, 5x, 20x and 100x whenever two, three, four or five appear in any position. Plus, if three or more of these symbols appear, a round of 12 free spins will be initiated.
Stunning Slot with Some Simple Bonus Spins
In truth, this EGT slot machine is quite underwhelming in the bonus gameplay department, offering nothing too extravagant other than some standard wild icons and free spins. Nonetheless, the game is a stunning spectacle to behold with its dramatic African wildlife theme. As such, Savanna's Life is perhaps ideal for spinners who want something pleasing on the eye which isn't over complicated by confusing bonus elements.
