Africa is the continent of adventure, and the thrill of the unknown is just what you’ll feel when you play Serengeti Pride, one of the latest and greatest online slots at Borgata Online. Take the chance to go on a safari deep into the wilds of Africa on a quest to capture the “Big Five” wild animals. Packed with great features such as Hyperhold Respins, multipliers and free spins, this online casino slot has the potential to reward players with wins of up to 2,500x their total stake. Read on to find out what’s in store for you on the wild savannah of the Serengeti!

Overview

When you open Serengeti Pride, a 5×3-reel grid set against the glorious African savannah comes up on your screen. The symbols that appear on the reels are four low-value J, Q, K, A tiles and Africa’s Big Five wild animals. These are the high-value leopard, rhino, African buffalo and elephant, as well as the lion (which is the wild symbol that substitutes for any other symbol on the reels except for free spins and bonus symbols – these take the form of a scatter with “Free Spins” written on it and a gold coin stamped with a value respectively.)

This online casino slot has 25 paylines, which run from left to right, and you can set your bets from $0.10 to $100 per spin on any desktop, tablet or smartphone. You only get paid out for the highest win on a payline, but simultaneous wins on different paylines are added together. If you land a combination of 5 matching animals, you’re eligible for a payout ranging from 7.5x to 20x, for a maximum potential win of 2,500x your total stake. The theoretical RTP (return to player) is 94.08%, making this one of the more volatile online casino games out there.

Serengeti Pride is one of the most atmospheric online casino slots around. It conjures up the glorious African savannah in all its wild beauty. Think of the kind of landscapes you see in movies like The Lion King or the TV series, Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Golden sunshine on the grasslands, tall trees and big skies – it’s all very pleasant, not to mention relaxing on the eye. 

The symbols on the reels are clear and crisp, presenting you with sharply detailed images of Africa’s wildest and most majestic animals. You really get a sense of the strength of the elephant, the stealth of the leopard, the determination of the rhino, the power of the buffalo and the courage of the lion. In fact, you’ll want to roar out loud when lion symbols fill the screen! The soundtrack will have your feet tapping to a mellow African beat. It’s the perfect match for the visual feast that this animal slot machine provides.

Bonuses and features

The best casino games are known for their innovative special features, and Serengeti Pride doesn’t disappoint, with its Serengeti Free Spins and the Hyperhold bonus features. Let’s take a look.

Free Spins

If you land 3 Free Spins scatter symbols, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature. A spinning disk that looks like a money wheel appears on the screen and awards you with a segment that contains 10-25 free spins, as well as a win multiplier of 2x to 5x. The multiplier applies to any wins that you make during the round, and you can retrigger free spins if you land 3 scatters during the feature. The money wheel doesn’t reappear, though, so the multiplier stays the same. Note that the Free Spins scatter symbols only land on reels 1, 3 and 5 during the base game and Free Spins.

Hyperhold

The Hyperhold bonus round is the kind of main feature that is always welcomed when you play slots online. To trigger this feature, you need to land 6 or more coin-shaped Bonus symbols. All the other symbols fade from the reels and the background changes color as the grid is replaced by a set of 15 independent reels. Only coins and blank spaces land during this feature. You get three spins to start with, a total that resets whenever a new coin symbol touches down. The original triggering coins and any new coins you land stick in place. The coins all have random multiplier values of up to 20x, as well as Mini and Major prizes (30x and 100x respectively). If you fill all 15 reels with coins, you’re awarded with the 2,500x Mega prize! This exciting feature comes to an end when you win the Mega prize or run out of respins.
