What Safari Spins is

Safari Spins is a 2022 slot from Nucleus Gaming. The theme will feel familiar to South Africans: lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes and zebras on the savannah at sunset, the classic “Big Five” safari look. It’s a five-reel game with 1,024 ways to win and a free spins round that carries most of the game’s value.

How a round works

There are no paylines. With 1,024 ways, matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left pay in any position. The animals are the high-value symbols, and card symbols fill the lower end of the paytable.

Wilds substitute for regular symbols. On a ways game, one wild on a middle reel can complete several combinations at once.

Free spins

Scatters trigger free spins. In the round:

• A multiplier applies to wins, lifting their value.
• Additional free spins can be won by landing more scatters.

The maximum listed win is 3310 times your stake.

RTP and volatility in plain words

The RTP is 95.28%, a little below the 96% average. Over a long run, that’s slightly more kept by the house than an average slot.

Volatility is high. Expect long stretches of small ways wins and blanks, with the free spins carrying most of the return. If the multiplier round arrives late in a session, your balance may already be low, so size your stake accordingly.

Safari slots and the South African connection

Safari themes are especially popular in South Africa, partly because the animals are local. There are many such games: Pragmatic’s Great Rhino and Mustang Gold have demos on this site at Great Rhino Megaways and Mustang Gold. Safari Spins is a simpler, ways-based alternative from a smaller studio.

1,024 ways, explained

A 1,024-ways game has five reels with four rows each. Every combination of matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left counts as a separate win: two lions on reel one, one on reel two and two on reel three make four winning ways. That’s why the game shows lots of small wins. Many of them are below your stake, so the balance is the number to watch.
