Sunset King Introduction
If you’ve never been on safari, then Aristocrat's Sunset King brings you a taste of the African Savannah which forms this pokie's backdrop. As a gorgeous sunset falls across the plains, you’ll spin reels filled with card symbols and some of the fabulous animals of the African continent including hyenas, rhinos, zebra and the majestic lion king himself.
He’s the top paying symbol here, rewarding you with a 350x multiplier for five across the reels, meaning the bigger your initial stake, the bigger the payout. With a catchy African inflected soundtrack and those dazzling graphics, this is one game you’ll enjoy playing anywhere. It’s a shame that there are no 3D animations because the graphics really do present the animals in fine detail.
Sunset wild
The sunset is the wild symbol here, which appears on the three central reels 2, 3 and 4. This is the symbol that starts building big payouts by creating any number of winning combinations when it substitutes for the other winning symbols in the game.
Follow the green paw
Watch out for the green paw - that’s the scatter symbol here and carries some big rewards. Three, four or five of these symbols carry multiplier payouts of 2x, 10x and 25x no matter where they appear on the reels. So far, so good. Now factor in the 8, 15 or 20 free spins that you’ll also earn, and the fact that you can retrigger five free spins if two or more scatter symbols appear during the bonus round and you’ll be itching to give this game a spin.
If you land the ‘Super Feature’ scatter on the final reel, then you’ll be rewarded with an extra 10, 18 or 25 free games with extra lion symbols on the reels.
Second chances
The second chance feature is really unique and gives you another opportunity to pick up some bonus games. Land a green paw on reel five and any other reel and you’ll trigger this variation on a pick and win feature. Make the right choice from the three cards on offer and you’ll reveal another green paw symbol, earning eight free spins.
King or jester?
Even without any flashy animations, Sunset King is very easy on the eye and ear. There are plenty of chances to get involved in the free spin bonus action and we love the second chance feature, which does just what it says on the tin. Best of all, there are so many ways to win with the 5-reel, 1,024 setup.
Whether you like to enjoy the majesty of the game on desktop or are happy to go mobile on tablet or smartphone, Sunset King will immerse you in an African vibe with plenty of big wins on offer. Meanwhile our other free pokies cover a range of themes and are a fun distraction from daily life.
