Slots themes around Africa are far from rare in the online casino world, but The Wild Life from IGT is certainly one that catches the attention, even in the small and competitive subsection of the iGaming world.A five-reel slot with ten fixed paylines, wins can be formed from right to left as well as left to right in this game, which is always fun.
About the slot
It is its commitment to the theme that’s sets The Wild Life apart from so many other slots with similar themes.Yes, there’s animals playing the part of symbols on the reels, including a zebra, a giraffe, a rhino, and an elephant, but even the filler symbols (J, Q, K, and A) are set to theme here, with each having a different animal print design.The background is not particularly breathtaking here, it is just the basic savannah setting, but there’s something about the perfection of this simple artwork that really brings the slot to life, aided by an impressive soundtrack.
Gameplay
The lion is the wild symbol here and will only appear on reels two, three, and four. However, when it does appear, and if it helps out with a winning combination, it will expand to fill the whole reel, and exchange for everything but the scatter symbol.Land three, four, or five scatter symbols for 10, 15, and 20 free spins respectively, with every additional scatter symbol that lands during the feature awarding two more free spins. Any reels that become fully wild during this feature will stay that way until it ends.A nice, new take on the overused theme of African safari animals, The Wild Life proves what many of us already knew, that IGT really are the masters of taking predictable themes to new heights.
