Discover the Golden Elephant in Stampede Gold Slot
Earlier this year, Botswana threatened to send 20,000 elephants to Germany. Why, you may ask? Well, Botswana’s conservation efforts have been extremely successful, which has resulted in an explosion in the number of elephants. The huge beasts have become a bit of a nuisance, causing damage to infrastructure and farmland. As a result, the country offers hunting licenses to control the numbers and raise funds to deal with the damage.
Many of the people who purchase these licenses are from Germany and would like to bring trophies back home. The problem is that Germany has imposed new import regulations that limit the number of trophies that can come into the country each year. So, the president of Botswana, in a fun piece of PR, has threatened to send Germany the elephants to see how they’d deal with them.
Fortunately, the elephants of Stampede Gold slot from BetSoft don’t have to worry about hunters.
Welcome to the Serengeti
The Stampede Gold slot wild symbol, like all other wild symbols, substitutes for other symbols to complete or boost winning combinations. BetSoft did, however, add a little spice to the wilds for their newest release.
Wild symbols appearing in the base game may also appear with a 2x or a 3x multiplier. During a round of free spins, all wild symbols will either carry a 2x or 3x multiplier. If more than one multiplier wild symbol is involved in the same winning combination, the multiplier values will be multiplied together before being applied to your winning amount.
A round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered with three, four, or five scatter symbols, which will trigger 8, 15, and 20 free spins, respectively. During a round of free spins, any golden elephant appearing on the reels will be added to the upgrade meter. Once you’ve collected at least four golden elephant symbols, the first of four symbols (cheetah, eagle, zebra, and giraffe) for which all instances appearing on the reels will be upgraded to the slot’s second-highest paying symbol. Once you’ve collected at least 15 golden elephants, all four symbols will be upgraded.
If you’re not keen on the heat of the African Serengeti, you can choose to purchase a round of the slot’s free spins feature. The buy bonus feature gives you a chance to unlock 8, 15, or 20 free spins.

BetSoft released its original Stampede slot back in November 2017.

It adds additional free spins bonus features and offers completely overhauled graphics and animations that are a significant improvement from the original. The graphics in the Stampede Gold slot are incredibly strong. It feels like every bit of it is alive which really adds to the slot’s wildlife theme. The slot is a great addition to the provider’s lineup and our offering. Stampede Gold gets a nine out of ten.
