Africa Gold 2 Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction 

Enjoy a little gold and diamond mining in the exotic climes of Africa. The friendly locals are on hand to help with your searches in this updated version of Belatra’s classic Africa Gold game. If you have played the original, you will recognise the locations and heroes but there are extra bonuses and features on offer.

Graphics & theme

Head off on an African adventure in which the reels are filled with diamonds, smiling locals, birds, animals and explorers. The reels have a jungle background and even the spin button is made of local stone. Just beware of the snake when it comes time to press play. If you enjoy an African themed slot, you may also like to give the King of Cats slot a try.

Africa Gold 2 RTP and variance

This is a medium to high variance game, so you will need to decide whether you like the higher-than-average risk factor attached to this kind of slot. The game also has an incredibly low return to player ratio of 91.97 per cent. This can be increased slightly if you choose to buy a bonus, but this rules out players who don’t want to go down this route. It would be reasonable to expect a higher RTP given that the average is about 96 per cent.

How to play Africa Gold 2

If you have played Belatra slots before, you will recognise many of the settings; if you haven’t, here is what you need to know:

1. The three-line menu tab opens a range of settings. These include turbo options, sound settings, and the game’s paytable. There is also a gear tab that takes you to another settings menu in which you can alter your bet.
2. There is a much easier way to change your bet settings - simply click on the bet button on the main screen, which is depicted by a stack of coins, then scroll through the available options and make your choice. Just make sure you click the tick button to finalise your bet. Betting amounts start at 10 and go up to 1,000.
3. If you want to use the game’s bonus purchase menu, push the CraftBonus tab and click the confirmation button to confirm you want to buy a bonus. The reels will spin and scatters will land to trigger your bonus. Press the X button if you decide you want to exit the purchase menu without buying anything.

Bet sizes & paytable wins 

You can play from 10 to 1,000 if you choose to give Africa Gold 2 a try. All wins are displayed in the paytable, which changes according to how much you bet. If you choose the maximum amount, here is what you could win for five-of-a-kind combinations:

• Tiger wild, scatter = 500,000
• Explorer, tribal warrior = 75,000
• Smiling woman = 40,000
• Diamond, arrowhead = 25,000
• Giraffe, binoculars = 12,500
• Bird, ace, king, queen = 10,000

Africa Gold 2 bonus features 

Wilds

Unlike the original - and indeed most online slots - this game’s wild symbols not only replace other symbols to help you to create winning combinations but also double any win they contribute to. 

CraftBonus

The updated version also offers you a CraftBonus option, which is an option offered in several Belatra online slots that enables you to buy a bonus when you want to and also to choose different options for a bonus drop. How much you pay for a bonus will depend on how much you are staking on your spins. The more you pay for the bonus, the higher the likelihood that the symbols indicated on your screen will make an appearance during the bonus.

Free Spins

Africa Gold 2 also offers a free games bonus. This is launched if you manage to land between three and five golden ingots scatter. You will win 15 free spins in the first instance and the free games bonus can be retriggered again and again, up to a huge maximum of 300 spins.

Risk game

Another bonus in this game takes the form of a risk game that will appear after each win. Guess the right colour of the next card to double your win or choose the right suit to quadruple your prize. Just be careful, as making the wrong choice will lose the lot.

Wheel of fortune

As with all Belatra games, Africa Gold 2 has a wheel of fortune jackpot. Each win will add to your JP points total. Keep an eye on the indicator - when it becomes full, you will see the bonus. The more you bet, the faster your meter will fill. Once you trigger the bonus, you will see two spinning wheels and a guaranteed prize will be yours.

Africa Gold 2 review: our verdict

If you can get past the incredibly low return to player average of this game, you might enjoy what you find. This will also depend on whether you mind the medium to high volatility of the game. If this is OK with you, there is a nice selection of bonuses to keep the jungle action moving along; what’s more, the game is clearly presented with lots of information and personalisation options available.
