Wild Animals

There’s nothing in the world that can match the beauty of untouched nature. Man’s most formidable creations can never be on par with the intricate balance between species that we can find in nature. 

The game creators at Red Rake Gaming have decided to pay homage to the beauty of nature and wildlife in a video slot with a straightforward title: Wild Animals. The creatures that were included in this title can be quite scary, but they also look amazing both on screen and in the wild. 

Theme

The game takes place in a beautiful natural setting, we can see a lake with crystal clear water surrounded by tall trees and rocky mountain peaks. If you don’t hit the “spin” button you will only hear the sounds of the forest, with no background music at all. 

When you do decide to break the silence, you will hear some pretty cool drums and sound effects, they will bring the whole thing to life along with the symbol animations. Speaking of symbols, there high-value ones are a moose, a wild horse, a mountain lion, an eagle, a bear and a wolf. 

Betting Options and Functions

This slot is played on a grid with 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 243 ways to win. You will need to have at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels to get a prize, but winning combinations can only start on the leftmost reel. 

The Wolf symbol is an exception, only two of them can grant you a win and they can also come in a stacked version that covers two rows instead of one. 

The betting range is rather narrow, from 30 cents to 30 euros, but the maximum potential win is worth a generous 2,000 times the stake. This is a medium volatility title, with a return to player percentage of 95.3. 

The slot was developed using HTML5 technology, so it works smoothly on mobile devices as well. In fact, on your mobile phone you can play the game both in landscape and portrait mode. 

Features

The base game is a lot of fun, you will get to hear all sorts of animal sounds when you hit winning combinations and the animations will entertain you as well. But you might feel a real adrenaline rush only when the Wild Fusion Minigame comes around. 

That can only happen if you get three Bonus symbols on screen, that will make a new 7x5 grid appear with seven Wolf symbols already placed on it. You will get three initial rolls, but if another Wolf symbol lands the number of spins will be reset. 

After each spin, the Wolf symbols will merge together in the best way possible and remain on screen for the next roll. If at the end of the feature you manage to fill the whole screen with Wolf symbols, you will be awarded the Grand Jackpot! 

Conclusion

Wild Animals is an enjoyable video slot from Spanish company Red Rake Gaming, the graphics look nice and crisp and the gameplay is quite fun as well. However, it would have been great to have an animated background, and maybe a few more features would have done wonders too. 

Nevertheless, those who love nature and wildlife will surely enjoy this game and the chase for the jackpot.
