Safari Gold Megaways (Blueprint Gaming): Overview
They say that money can't buy
everything, but if you have enough of it, you🍊 can at least buy your own Megaways slot.
Just ask LeoVegas. Last month, the Swedish owned casino order an exclusive🍊 release, and
Blueprint Gaming delivered. Presumptuously titled LeoVegas Megaways, the game is
characterized by its massive, shiny Megaways wheel on🍊 which the casino's famous logo
can be seen gracefully positioned in the center. As a Megaways slot, it doesn't really
🍊 stand out that much from Blueprint's other creations, but the mighty wheel has a strong
pull and has proven hard🍊 to resist. One wheel to rule them all.
If for whatever reason,
you cannot play at LeoVegas, Blueprint has now made🍊 sure you'll be able to spin that
glorious wheel elsewhere. A reskin of LeoVegas Megaways, Blueprint Gaming's Safari Gold
Megaways🍊 comes with 6 reels and up to 117,649 ways to win. If you're already familiar
with the original, you can🍊 basically stop reading now and do something more productive,
but in case you're intrigued to learn more, well, keep reading.🍊 Bearing some
resemblance to Pragmatic's Safari King (it's not the first time) this wildlife-themed
offering includes features such as cascading🍊 reels, free spins with increasing win
multipliers and two types of manually triggered bonus bet features, one of which will
🍊 guarantee you a minimum number of Megaways. Practically, you can play it across all
devices and wager between 20 cents🍊 and €100 per spin.
Even as a reskin, Safari Gold
Megaways isn't much of a reskin. The lion logo remains in🍊 place, albeit a different
design, and it's still dominated by the distinctive LeoVegas orange colour. The
soundtrack, of course, has🍊 been changed, but even that isn't original as it has been
borrowed from Blueprint's Savanna Stampede. With the sun setting🍊 over the African
Savannah in the background, symbols on the reels include 9 to A royal values alongside
elephants, cheetahs,🍊 and buffaloes. The lion is the top symbol, however, delivering 50
times your stake for six on a full payline.🍊 The sunset symbol is the wild - it appears
on the extra reel only directly positioned above reels 2 through🍊 to 5.
Safari Gold
Megaways (Blueprint Gaming): Features
Being a Megaways game, each reel here randomly
varies in symbol height on each🍊 spin, ranging from 2 up to 7 symbols. When fully
expanded, it can give you 117,640 ways to win. It🍊 also utilizes a Cascading Reels
mechanic where winning symbols are removed and replaced with new ones, thus allowing
you to🍊 win repeatedly from a single spin. Then there is the Mystery Symbol feature -
when the lion logo symbol appears🍊 on the reels, all instances of it will transform into
another random symbol.
With the basics covered, now comes the more🍊 exciting part. Look
out for the diamond scatter as it will activate the Free Spins round if you land 4🍊 or
more anywhere in view in a single spin. This is the moment you get to spin that
colossal wheel🍊 that we have been talking about. On the inner section of the wheel,
you'll see the number of spins while🍊 on the outer section you have starting
multipliers. When the wheel comes to a stop, you will know your setup🍊 - 4, 5, 6 or 7
diamond scatters will give you up to 15, 20, 25 or 30 spins respectively🍊 as well as a
starting win multiplier of between 1x - 10x. Moreover, during the round, 3 or 4 diamond
🍊 scatters anywhere in view will give you 5 or 10 additional spins. Also, the cascading
reels feature applies here as🍊 well, increasing your win multiplier by 1 for every win
achieved - with no limit.
If you don't feel like waiting🍊 for a chance to spin the
glorious wheel, you always have the Megaways Wheel Bet to rely on. For a🍊 cost of 20x,
you'll receive up to 10 free spins along with a minimum number of Megaways. If you want
🍊 to go all-in, there is the Bonus Bet feature instead, that, for a cost of 100x will
take you to🍊 the main free spins wheel to win spins and multipliers. Not only that, but
these two options will also give🍊 you a higher RTP, going up from 96.50% to 97%, which
can actually have more of an impact than you🍊 would think.
Safari Gold Megaways
(Blueprint Gaming): Verdict
For obvious reasons, no casino other than LeoVegas will
want to list a game🍊 called LeoVegas Megaways which is why, in this case at least, it
makes sense for Blueprint to clone, reskin and🍊 rename it. Having already reviewed and
played the original, we are well acquainted with the game.
Essentially, it's a dime a
🍊 dozen Megaways slot, but as per usual, Blueprint always manages to add a bit of a twist
to it that🍊 will be just enough to capture the interest of the players. In this case, it
doesn't solely come down to🍊 the Megaways wheel, but the magnificent visual presentation
as well.
