African Elephant

How to play

A round begins with the stake being chosen, after which the reels spin on a 5-reel, 4-row grid. While the symbols land, patterns can form across the reels and mark certain positions. Once the spin ends, those marked positions transform into wilds, and any new wins are counted with them in place. Three scatter symbols trigger the free spins round, where the pattern mechanic comes into play more often. The Autoplay option in the catalogue lets a set number of spins run without pressing the button each time. The game loads in a mobile browser, so a round can be played away from a desktop. A high volatility profile means results can swing widely from one session to the next, so the size of the stake deserves some thought before starting.

Theme and symbols

The setting is the African savannah, populated by animals of the plains. The symbols are a rhino, a leopard and a zebra, together with the elephant wild and a scatter. The elephant takes the central role in the design, as it is the symbol that stands in for others on the reels.

Features

Three features shape the game.

• Elephant Wilds: the elephant wild symbols substitute for every other symbol except the free spin scatter, helping to complete winning combinations.
• Pattern Mechanic: patterns form across the reels during a spin and mark certain positions, which turn into wilds once the spin has finished.
• Free Spins: landing three scatters awards 10 free spins, and during this round the pattern mechanic activates more often, so wild-creating patterns are likely to show up more frequently.

The maximum win of 15000 times the bet is the upper limit for the game. More games by the studio are collected among Pragmatic Play titles, and similar games sit in the slots lobby.
