Safari Riches Slot Machine - Play Safari Riches Slot Free

Introduction

We are looking for big game and big wins in this online video slot from 888. Safari Riches is played on a 5x4 reel set that generates 40 betways paying both ways. 

Appropriately for a slot featuring big animals, we find big symbols that can occupy 2x2 and 3x3 spaces on the reels and appear wholly or partially on winning lines. There is also a wild symbol that substitutes for all others apart from the scatter symbol. The wild also pays but cannot appear as a big symbol. 

In contrast, the scatter symbol only appears as a large 3x3 symbol on the center reels. If it appears complete on the reels, seven free spins are triggered; if it appears partially, the reward is just one free game. During this phase of the game, the reels readjust and more large icons will appear. Free spins cannot be retriggered during the free games.

The highest-paying symbols, in order of value, are the wild, leopard, elephant, rhino, water buffalo and zebra. These are supplemented by four lower-value playing cards from jack to ace.

Winnings in Safari Riches are supplemented by a daily jackpot that is shared with other games.
If you enjoy the work of this designer, you will find other 888 Slots free slots right here at Slots Temple. Alternatively, if you want to try another game set on safari but with many more paylines, why not try the Great Rhino Megaways slot? This is also available in demo mode here at Slots Temple. 

Theme, graphics & soundtrack 

We are on an autumn safari in this richly designed slot from 888. The symbols, which depict some of the biggest beasts of the animal kingdom, are beautifully designed and realistic. Whether it is the roaring wild lion or the flamingo feathers floating down the screen, the animated sequences are delightful. 

In addition to the animal sounds triggered on winning lines, there is a soundtrack featuring haunting strings reminiscent of the movie Out of Africa.

If you enjoy an animal themed slot, you will find many more here at Slots Temple. 

Safari Riches RTP and variance

The official RTP of Safari Riches is 96.23 per cent and the game should be considered medium variance. Be aware that the RTP can be as low as 93.23 per cent dependent on the wagers placed with bonuses and special offers.

Safari Riches review: our verdict 

This is a beautifully designed game, with an engaging theme tune that is not at all intrusive and really adds to the enjoyment.

The game is simple to play; however, the big icons - especially in free spins mode - mean there are lots of chances to form winning lines.

As we would expect from a game by this designer, the betting range is huge and makes Safari Riches an attractive proposition to all kinds of player.
