Play'n GO Sends Players to Plains of Africa in Win-A-Beest!

After the launch of last week’s Gold Volcano, a revolutionary game with a grid shaped like a mountain ready to burst, Play’n GO expands its July line up with Win-A-Beest, a wildlife-themed video slot.

Launched on July 23rd, this game sends its players to the plains of Africa, providing them with a new spin on the mega-popular Buffalo-style genre. Set in an unusual configuration with a 2-4-4-4-2 diamond grid, the concept of this offering focuses on Wildebeest, a native animal on the African continent. This antelope subspecies serves as a “super-symbol” during base play and pays out the biggest amounts when part of a winning combination.

Win-A-Beest comes with a very strong paytable and doesn’t require three symbols to trigger a prize, but two. There are also two special features on board, Beest Mode and Beest Mode Spins.

The Power of the Beest

As indicated, the game’s biggest attractions revolve around its super-symbol, Wildebeest. It activates the Beest Mode and Beest Mode Spins, featuring only the wildebeest, wild and scatter symbols on the reels. This combination is sufficient to provide more robust wins on the grid, while Stampeding Spins give users more access to Beest Mode.

What’s even more interesting is that each feature expands the reels to create a 5x4 grid. This function consequently increases the number of paylines from 256 to 1024, giving four times as many opportunities to score a win!

Fans of the savannah genre will be entranced with this game’s realistic setting and breathtaking design, while frequent activation of features provides a well-known element of surprise, typical for so many titles in the provider’s catalog.

Play’n GO CPO, Martin Zettergren, explained the main characteristics of Win-A-Beest in a short statement:

“This is a game all about power. The Wildebeest is a powerful animal, and it combines with a strong paytable to give players more powerful wins. The features, multiplier Wilds and grid expansion are all designed to add into the excitement and energy that a ‘wild’ slot like this should generate, we know players will enjoy what it has to offer.”

Stampeding Spins

With a theoretical RTP of 96.12% and a medium variance, Win-A-Beest offers a balanced payout potential, intended mostly for casual players expecting a stable frequency and plenty of low and mid-sized wins.

By landing three or more scatter symbols during the base game, players will initiate Stampeding Spins, a set of 8, 12 or 20 complimentary rounds depending on the number of scatters.

Other icons feature a selection of wild animals such as the elephant, lion, rhino and leopard. The rest of the symbols come in the well-known format of J, Q, K and A card values.

Win-A-Beest represents the 25th release in 2020. Play’n GO has announced 52 titles for this year, and the provider will continue to deliver original, fun experiences across all channels next week. Other recent rollouts are also Nyjah Huston – Skate for Gold, Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead and Troll Hunters 2.
