Animal Instinct Slot Review
Do you remember when there was a spate of female celebrities flashing their vajayjays on social media? I seem to think it was around 2015 to 2018 and Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan were the most infamous for going commando.
Britney flashed the paparazzi so many times that someone actually made a plastic doll of her climbing out of a car seat with her lady bits on show. Probably not how you wanna go down in history but hey, I have no complaints!
But the OG panty hater is undoubtedly Sharon Stone.
Her infamous leg-crossing scene in the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct set tongues wagging but the controversy did nothing to harm ticket sales. In fact, Sharon’s hoo-ha propelled the movie to the fourth-highest-grossing film of the year.
If you thought Sharon’s performance brought out the animal in you, then I have high hopes for Animal Instinct slot from Playtech.
Gameplay
Surprise, surprise – we’re in the African savannah and the 5-reel grid is adorned with beautifully rendered critters. We’ve got lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo.
Landing animal symbols gets you moolah – up to 2,500x for 10 lions but check out the paytable for a full rundown.
The Wild replaces all symbols other than Scatters and Power Collect symbols, which is a wheel with 5 colored wedges. I’ll explain exactly what this symbol does in the Features section.
Stats-wise, there are 40 paylines, an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. of 95.51%, and a medium to high volatility rate. The most money you can walk away with is €181,281 and you’ll have to play with fiat money; just not the Australian dollar, please.
Features
POWER COLLECT:
Landing the Power Collect symbol means you’ll steal the power of one of the animal symbols. By doing so, you get a payout and also fill the respective meter that you’ll see above the reels (a specific color represents each animal).
After that, the Power Collect symbol will turn into a Wild.
ANIMAL FREE SPINS:
Land 3 African mask Scatters on different reels to trigger this round.
Remember the meters I just mentioned? If a Scatter lands on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously, one of the 4 Animal Free Spin games is launched. As for which one, it’ll correspond with the meter that is the most full when those Scatters hit.
Lion Free Spins (yellow):
One animal symbol is randomly chosen on each spin and all instances of that symbol will be transformed into Wilds.
Elephant Free Spins (red):
When a symbol is collected, the multiplier to the far right, which you’ll see in a meter above the reels, will pay out. After that, the multiplier disappears and all of the multipliers shuffle right – in other words, the next multiplier in line on the far right will be used next time.
Rhino Free Spins (purple):
All of the Power Collect symbols you land will be double-stacked.
Buffalo Free Spins (blue):
This is the Free Spins game you wanna shoot for because it adds a whole whack of Wilds to the reels:
- Spin No 1: 55 Wilds are added to reel 2
- Spin No 2: 40 Wilds are added to reel 3
- Spin No 4: 65 Wilds are added to reel 4
All of the Wilds are also sticky for the duration of the round.
Leopard Free Spins (green):
The first landed Scatter on the reels will flip to reveal a prize. After that, the second Scatter reveals a multiplier – of up to 5x – which the prize is increased by, and the amount is paid out.
Performance
I had zero issues while playing Animal Instinct slot. I gave it horns on my phone, tablet, and desktop device and also swapped between browsers, and it was all good.
Maximum Win
You won’t have to cough up a small fortune if you’re chasing the €181,281 top prize – all you need is to bet at €24 (or from €0.08 if you prefer) as the 7,553.38x max multiplier will do the heavy lifting for ya.
Conclusion
What Playtech has done with Animal Instinct slot ain’t half bad. They’ve used the theme to develop various Free Spin options, which is a nice take on a feature we see all the time.
The downside is that because there’s no Buy Bonus, it can take forever to trigger Free Spins so you’ll spend most of your time in the base game, trying to grab Power Collect symbols, which isn’t exactly thrilling.
So yeah, if you’re into fast-paced action then I wouldn’t recommend this game for you. I was yawning after 10 minutes. Animal Instinct slot is mobile-friendly in landscape mode but looks terrible in portrait orientation.
