Photo Safari Introduction
There is talk of extraordinary sights and sounds, beautiful scenes of nature, flora and fauna. With this in mind you grab your trusty camera and begin planning your journey to the veldt for what will be an unforgettable Photo Safari. In the meantime however, there might be another option that will tide you over until the real thing.
Photo Safari is a free online pokies game for browsers and mobile or tablet devices from Play 'N Go that aims to capture all of the magic and discovery of its namesake, with the added bonus of great prizes to be won. In addition to the normal prizes, this game has wild, scatter and bonus symbols for substitutions, free spins and big wins.
The game itself boasts a clean and modern design, with symbols and reels that mesh well with the chosen background. Sound design for this pokie is particularly good; pleasant soundscape and animal call ambient noises are contrasted with the hand drums and thumb piano that accompany spins
Safari So Good
This is a five reel pokie with up to 20 possible line combinations, plus a very wide range of prizes and bet values, meaning that there are plenty of chances to win. Prizes are awarded for successful two, three, four and five-of-a-kind symbol matches. Normal symbols will be familiar to most pokie players and consist of carved wooden K, Q, J, A and 10 symbols.
Higher value symbols are represented by friendly-looking animals including a lion, zebra and one very cheery giraffe. The most valuable regular symbol is the lion, which awards a maximum prize of 1000 coins, and the least valuable are the A and 10 symbols, both of which award a maximum prize of 100 coins. With this many chances to win however, even lower value prizes like these can soon add up.
The most valuable symbol overall is the wild drums, which is worth a maximum of 5000 coins and can be used as a substitute for any normal symbol except the film roll (scatter) or camera (bonus) symbols, to help make up winning combinations.
Say Cheese!
Photo Safari also lives up to its namesake with a photography-based Photo Shoot bonus round. Simply finding three or more camera symbols will trigger this bonus round, wherein you use your camera to try and spot good photo opportunities of animals hidden in the long grass. Once you have found three of these animals, the game will award you a prize based upon the animals that you discover.
The film strip is the scatter symbol, and finding three or more of these will trigger the Film Strip Spin round, which is a bonus round with free spins. During the Film Strip Spin bonus round, the film strip scatter symbol becomes wild, meaning that it can also be used as a substitute for other symbols for greater chances to win.
Although you can't win additional free spins during the Film Strip Spin round, the generous allocation of 15 free spins is more than enough to rack up some serious winnings.
