The Betsoft creatives are sure you are ready to embark on another adventure to safari since it has been almost 10 years since they first took you on one!

Theme and Symbols

As its name suggests, Safari Sam 2 takes you on the second trip to the sun-drenched African Savannah, guided by the well-known explorer Sam, and his tamed assistant, Pam.

This beautifully looking online game from the Betsoft slot list provides you with a breathtaking expedition across colorful, cartoonish visuals boasting noticeably improved graphics, showing the picture of savannah behind the reels, with yellow grass and trees, with...

...one massive tree trunk standing behind the reels!

The two protagonists are right there, standing on both sides of the grid, overlooking the action, while the dark, semi-transparent reels feature icons that include playing card symbols from J to A designed in a theme-related manner, followed by an off-road vehicle, a tent, a zebra, a lion, and, of course, Sam and Pam, while...

...the Acacia tree is the Scatter symbol, and the compass represents the Wild.

Lastly, you would like to keep the sounds on, as the game boasts an exciting African-themed soundtrack.

Betting Options and Other Functions

The transparent reel set is formed with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 50 fixed pay lines, while this medium volatile online title boasts an average RTP percentage of 96.3% and a hit rate standing at 36.44. (read about it here)

Before you join the brave explorers, you need to set your bets that range from $0.2 to $100, which will appeal to both low-risk and high-risk rollers.

As for the game's payouts, they go up to 550x your bet, while the symbol payouts start at the lower end with royals from Jack to Ace, followed by four medium-rewarding and three premium symbols!

Sam is the highest-paying symbol, rewarding 10x the stake should you have 5 of them in combination.

The Wild symbol performs its regular role of substituting for any other symbol apart from the Scatters.

Special Features

If you have tried the original release, you probably remember its innovative bonus feature based on landing stacks of vertically matching symbols, so you will be glad to hear the concept has been carried over to the sequel.

This is an Avalanche feature on its own that actually only occurs each time punters land a stack of three matching symbols landing randomly on a reel.

The winning stack will then disappear and make room for more tiles on the grid, and this feature will keep going until they run out of possible stack options.

Now, the compass symbol is not just a replacing symbol, as it is also responsible for activating a Call of the Wind feature!

It is another randomly triggered bonus that, when occurs, it covers up to four reels by Wild compasses, giving punters extraordinary chances for forming great winning combos!

Now, for the main Free Spins feature!

Land at least three Scatter symbols anywhere across the grid, and you will be awarded 7, 12, or 20 extra spins, but also a prize of 3x, 12x, and 50x the stake, respectively! 

Here's the kicker, though!

Every bonus spin comes with the Call of the Wind feature, adding up to four Wilds on random positions!

Verdict

If you enjoyed the initial release from Betsoft, then you will definitely enjoy the work devs have done with this sequel!

Although the game may not appeal to some more experienced, risk-taking players due to its low maximum potential, its exciting theme, HQ graphics, and an innovative set of bonus features might be enough for them to change their minds!
