Zimba and Friends - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Zimba and Friends Introduction

Join Zimba and Friends for a wild ride into the depths of the jungle. Watch the cheeky monkey swing in as you try to land one of the three jackpots on offer. With two expanding wild features, both of them also featuring sticky wilds, the journey into the unknown could be well worth it.

 
Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Zimba and Friends has fun, immersive theming that is bright, eye-catching, and well-designed. The reels have a transparent background and are framed by bamboo, with branches and vines snaking across the top. The background itself is a jungle setting with plants and fauna. 

During the gameplay, additional animation pops up, including a cheeky monkey that swings down from the top of the reels and a curious lion that peeks his head out to have a look for some prey.

The symbols are typical of a jungle animal theme and include bananas, elephants, zebras, meerkats, and lions, plus the more traditional symbols of king, queen, jack, and ace entwined in vines.

It is worth playing until the giraffe respin feature is awarded to fully appreciate the accompanying mini discothat breaks out in the jungle! As far as cartoon animal themed slot games go, Arrow's Edge Gaming have produced an aesthetically pleasing game with good graphics.

The soundtrack is suitably jungle themed, with the occasional bird cries and monkey sounds mixed in with pipe music and jungle drums.

Zimba and Friends Bonus Features

Monkey Expanding Wilds - A wild monkey symbol on reel 3 triggers the expanding wild feature. Wilds will expand to other reels in positions that are set and are dependent on where the triggering monkey landed. Wild symbols will stick in place for between one and six respins.

Giraffe Vertical Expanding Wilds - A giraffe symbol on reel 2 or 4 triggers the vertical expanding wild feature. The giraffe symbol will expand to fill the entire reel and will stick in place as one to six respins are awarded. Additional giraffe symbols will also expand to fill the entire reel, although no further respins will be awarded as a result. If you're a fan of this feature, try Push Gaming's Land of Zenith slot.

Jackpot Bonus - There are three different jackpot bonuses available on Zimba and Friends. Up for grabs are the mystery jackpot, the cash grab jackpot, and the super spins jackpot.

Zimba and Friends Review

Zimba and Friends by Arrow’s Edge looks like a whole lot of fun, but with an unknown RTP and difficult-to-trigger bonuses, this jungle themed game might just be a little too treacherous for some players. The expanding wild features are generous in the sense that there are two of them, but with only 12 win lines and a medium to high variance, it might take nerves of steel to get as far as activating them.
