Savannah Pride

Savannah Pride is an African wildlife-themed slot developed by Red Tiger. The game is set against the backdrop of the African savannah, featuring a visually appealing landscape with elephants grazing on the left and lions watching from the right. The slot incorporates various elements of African wildlife and culture into its design.

The symbols on the reels include carved wooden low-pay symbols (10-A) decorated with colorful patterns, as well as high-paying animal symbols such as giraffes, zebras, buffalo, rhinos, and elephants. The game also features Warrior and Princess characters as special wild symbols, adding a human element to the wildlife theme.

Core Game and Mechanics

Savannah Pride is played on a 5×3 reel grid with 20 fixed paylines. The game offers a betting range from 0.10 to 20 per spin, catering to both casual players and those who prefer higher stakes. The slot is described as having medium-high volatility, indicating a balance between frequency and size of wins, with potential for significant payouts.

The return to player (RTP) is set at 95.75%, which is slightly below the industry average. Winning combinations are formed by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

The paytable is structured with low-pay card rank symbols (10-A) offering wins of 2.5 to 3 times the stake for five of a kind. The high-pay animal symbols provide more substantial rewards, ranging from 5 to 50 times the bet for five matching symbols.

Bonus Features

1. Shield & Warrior Wild
   • The Shield is a 1×3 symbol that can land partially or fully in view.
   • When a Shield lands fully in view, it transforms into a Warrior Wild.
   • Warrior Wilds substitute for all paying symbols.
   • Shield symbols can form winning combinations, paying up to 100x the bet.
2. Princess Wild
   • The Princess Wild substitutes for all paying symbols.
   • It has the unique ability to transform any vertically or horizontally adjacent Shield symbols into Warrior Wilds.
   • This transformation can trigger a chain reaction, as any Shield symbols adjacent to newly transformed Warrior Wilds will also transform.
   • A line of 5 wilds, regardless of type, pays 100x the bet.
3. Free Spins
   • Triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, awarding 8, 12, or 20 free spins respectively.
   • The feature can be retriggered during the bonus round.
   • At the start of free spins, 1 Princess Wild is added to the reels in a random position.
   • This Princess Wild remains on the grid for the entire bonus round but move to a new position between spins.
   • Additional Princess Wilds can land during the free spins, potentially increasing the transformation potential.

The most intriguing aspect of Savannah Pride is the domino effect created by the Princess Wild during the free spins feature. As the Princess Wild transforms adjacent Shield symbols into Warrior Wilds, it can potentially trigger a chain reaction of transformations. This mechanic adds an element of excitement and unpredictability to the bonus round, as players watch to see how far the transformations will spread across the reels.
