The Safari Introduction
At Online Pokies 4U, we are proud to present The Safari, a decisively unique pokies game from developers Magnet Gaming. Safari gives you to chance to have an amazing adventure in the African Savannah, where you'll encounter beautiful beasts including hippos, elephants, giraffes and lions. This pokies game is also packed with mini-games and bonus rounds.
Designed in HTML5 instead of Flash, this game plays perfectly on mobile and tablet devices with absolutely no download required. Safari marks a step change from the more run-of-the-mill online pokies in both design and format and is definitely an adventure worth embarking upon!
Theme
The artwork for this game is absolutely gorgeous. Taking you to the plains at the heart of Africa, the background sets the scene with a beautiful sun-soaked savannah complete with grazing flamingos and iconic acacia trees. Interesting and fun facts about African wildlife appear at the bottom of the screen, creating a truly immersive environment. In a break with conventional pokies, Safari takes place in a Jeep with the reels on the windscreen.
The symbols are enchantingly drawn in a cartoonish style, and the overall use of colour creates a very warm and inviting environment.
Format
Because of its unique appearance, beginners may find Safari a little intimidating to begin with, but thankfully, the whole game is extremely intuitive. Instead of reels, it features nine boxes with fun symbols on that drop down with each spin into a 3x3 grid. Winning lines are created by matching symbols horizontally, vertically and diagonally.
On the right, you can see an overview of the different mini-games to play for on a huge savannah tree. On the left side of the windscreen is a map for one of the mini-games, Photo Safari.
Sights of the Safari
On your tour, you'll encounter incredible wildlife. Every animal on the savannah is beautiful and graceful, but some are more valuable than others. Click on the cog at the bottom to change the stakes. The interface is very responsive, and you'll notice that values change across the screen, showing you exactly what the stakes are.
At level 1, the line of lowest symbol, a bird, is worth 50, and a line of majestic lions, the most valuable animal, pays out a handsome 1,000 credits. These stakes increase incrementally. At level 10, a line of birds nets you 1,200, and three lions net an incredible 24,000 credits!
Cascading multipliers
The multiplier is shown on the tyre beneath the windscreen and is activated with every win. After your winning spin, the three successful symbols disappear and three new blocks fall into the gaps. These cascading reels are another unique feature of Safari and act as a kind of free spin, giving you the chance to increase your winnings further.
Packed with mini-games
Another aspect that makes Safari an outstanding pokie is its variety of mini-games. These are unlocked by scoring a line of symbols representing a mini-game. The first is Treasure Hunt, where you're presented with a puzzle and must test your luck in finding the missing pieces of the Golden Idol.
If successful, you have a chance to play for the jackpot! The second mini-game is Photo Safari, where you are presented with one symbol that you must capture on a particular reel.
