Savannah Drums

Savannah Drums Review

A new slot game set in the African wilderness, introducing numerous bonus features. With different reel modifiers and an unlimited Free Spins round, it's capable of paying up to 29,445x the stake.

Savannah Drums - Slot Outlook

While not the most original theme, a lot of effort has been put into the design to make Savannah Drums look stunning. The imagery is sharp, and animations add life to the scenery and immerse you into the action. The 5x4 reel matrix with 20 fixed paylines sits amidst acacia and baobab trees, with a sky-blue lake and mountains in the background. An upbeat tribal soundtrack captures the savannah vibe and fits the gameplay.

Players can set bets from £0.2 to £200 per spin, with stakes of up to £400 possible with Super Bet. Medium volatile, it comes with an RTP of 96.1%, so wins should occur fairly often. Wins of up to 29,445x the stake are possible, though, the maximum win is capped at £250,000.

The paytable includes symbols you expect in any African-themed release. Low symbols are A-9 royals, while premiums include vultures, elephants, rhinos, and lions. All symbols pay from three-of-a-kind and more, and five-of-a-kind wins are worth from 2x to 15x your bet. An African Zulu mask symbol is Wild, and it can appear on all reels and substitute for any other regular symbols, plus more Wild symbols become available when you hit bonus features.

Savannah Drums - Bonus Features

Drum symbols are the most desired, and those are bonus symbols that act as both Scatters and Wilds. Landing 2 instances anywhere in view triggers a random Drum Modifier, while 3 or more activate the Free Spins. Turn the Super Bet on though and the number of bonus symbols needed to trigger either of those will be reduced by 1. However, your bet will be doubled.

Whenever a Drum Modifier is activated, players can receive one of the following features:

• Free Spins - awards a Free Spins bonus game.
• Wild Reels - turns one or more reels into Wild, up to 4.
• Wild Symbols - one or more low-paying symbol is randomly chosen to become Wild.
• All Wins - activates a win Multiplier of 2x - 10x.

Landing 3 (or 2 if the Super Bet is active) bonus symbols awards entrance into Free Spins. However, each additional triggering symbol increments the total Multiplier to 2x or 3x. During the free games, bonus symbols can only appear on reel 5, and whenever it lands, a random Drum Modifier comes into play, which remains active for the duration of the feature.

• Wild Reels - turns 1, 2, or 3 reels into Wild that move across the grid between the spins.
• All Wins - increases the total win Multiplier up to 12x.
• Eliminator - removes a low-paying symbol from the reels.
• Wild Symbols - turns a low-paying symbol into Wild.

Free Spins last until a maximum win is achieved or a Sunrise symbol lands on reel 5. Whenever it hits, players will be given a final spin and the bonus game will come to an end.

Savannah Drums - Slot Verdict

While it looks like a typical African-themed slot on the outside, you'll quickly notice the difference once you take a peek under the hood. Indeed, the outer look doesn't make Savannah Drums stick out from the African niche, but the features laid down here provide a one-of-a-kind experience. A wide range of random reel modifiers that are available on any base game spin can turn even the worst outcome into a decent gain. Everything gets bigger in the Free Spins though where those modifiers stay active until the very end, providing jackpots of nearly 30k x your stake. All said and done, Savannah Drums has a lot of tricks to keep players hooked onto it, and it's bound to be enjoyed by those into the African theme.
