African Sunset Game Review

I tested the features of African Sunset and have some interesting insights. Read on to discover the various elements and game mechanics of the slot.

Theme

There’s no dearth of slots with jungle safari theme. African Sunset takes this theme to a whole new level. It’s like an exhilarating adventure that transported me to a lush African landscape where the calls of different jungle animals echo everywhere. If you love the thought of venturing into untamed nature in Africa’s parks, playing a free demo of African Sunset in one of the top new casino sites will be a great idea. The game, through its theme and symbols, creates an atmosphere that is enough to keep the player entertained for an extended period.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The graphics in African Sunset are vibrant and evocative. I was taken by a pleasant surprise the moment I launched the game. The attractive visuals brilliantly capture the essence of jungle safari. From the detailed design of animals, majesty of lions, and grace of African animals, everything is perfectly created. Also, the coloring is vivid, but it does not restrain from focusing on details of the various elements.

 

The soundtrack made me feel like I was walking through a sunny African national park, enjoying animal antics. It’s the kind of upbeat and fast-paced music with classic vibes that I will use to motivate myself even without playing the game. From time to time, the authentic sounds of animals come, which adds to the native feel.

 

Just like the graphics and soundtrack, African Sunset has superb animations. A great example of it is the roaring lion wild symbol. Letters and numbers in sparkling colors add to the effect. The reels spin fluidly and, in the case of matching symbols, create a beautiful line around them. It is one of the visually rich free to play games by GameArt. They have done a great job in creating animations and visual effects that draw the players in.

RTP, Payout and Volatility

RTP: African Sunset has a 96% RTP. This is, by no means, high. However, going by the slots by GameArt, the RTP is typical. The developers’ major aim is to impart a balance between entertainment and winning, so, a 96% RTP does justice.

 

Payout: The maximum win is not disclosed by the slot. It contrasts with its sequel African Sunset, which offers a high win potential starting from 2000x.

 

Volatility: The volatility is medium to low. It means that the game offers more frequent but smaller wins compared to high volatility slots. The hit frequency is slightly above 30.

Gameplay

African Sunset has a standard gameplay, just like other slots from GameArt, like Queen of the Seas. It is one of those free to play games that revolves around extra spins with multipliers and scatter awards. African Sunset has fixed paylines and all wins must start from the leftmost reel, except for Scatter wins. It follows the typical rule where Scatter symbols can land anywhere and still pay. They also trigger Free Spins.

 

Line wins are multiplied by the bet per line, while Scatter wins are multiplied by the overall bet amount. I did not find anything new in this logic. For seasoned players, the gameplay could have been more exciting through dynamic bet multipliers, cascading wins, or ante bets.

 

The prizes in the paytable are multiplied and related to the chosen bet.

Features

African Sunset is a slot that offers continuous action due to the bonus feature. Also, the 15 Free Spins with a 3x multiplier on every win creates an exciting atmosphere. These features make it balanced and engaging. However, there are no cascading reels and respins, which are a prominent part of modern online slots.

 

Bonus feature

 

If a lion symbol and/or a tree against a setting sun symbol shows on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously, you get 15 free spins. During free games, a multiplier (x2, x3, x5 or x10) is chosen randomly for each win. This Bonus feature can be retriggered during free spins. It rewards you with an extra 5 free spins. As soon as the bonus is entered, autoplay stops.

 

Wild and Scatter

 

Wild is a zoomed in image of a lion. It replaces the symbol needed to get the active line with the maximum cost and doubles the winnings. Wild substitutes every symbol except scatter. Here’s the interesting part of this mechanic. If you land a wild in three, four, or five positions, you can win 5x, 50x, or 200x your stake. I landed a wild in second, third and fourth positions and was awareded with 10X multiplier.

 

Also, during bonus rotations, there is some probability of Wild falling out. In this case, it will expand to the entire game reel and, consequently, boost your chances of grabbing a good win.

 

Scatter is an image of a tree against a sunset. 5, 4, and 3 scatters give a payout of 37.50, 15.00, and 1.50, respectively, which are multiplied by the total credit bet. Scatter wins are also added to the line wins and line wins are multiplied by the bet multiplier.

 

Gamble feature

 

If you feel the thrill of risks, try the gamble feature for your win. Select red or black card and your bet will be doubled if the red or black choice is correct. You can gamble winning up to five times or disable this feature completely.
