How to Play

Understanding Paylines

  • Animal Instinct™ uses 40 fixed paylines for every game round.
  • Paylines are illustrated over the reels in the paytable.
  • Winning combinations must begin from the leftmost reel, with matching symbols on consecutive reels forming a win when aligned on an active payline.
  • Payouts displayed in the paytable are multiplied by your line bet, which is calculated as the total bet divided by 40.

Game Limits

  • The game has an upper limit on the maximum amount that can be won. For further details on these limits, refer to the Terms and Conditions provided by the game operator.

Special Symbols

Wild Symbol

  • The 'WILD' symbol can substitute for all other symbols except for the Scatter and Power Collect symbols, assisting in creating winning combinations.

Scatter Symbol

  • The Scatter symbol is depicted by the face of a tribesman.
  • Landing Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 at the same time will trigger one of the Animal Free Games or the Leopard Bonus feature.

Power Collect Symbol

  • The Power Collect symbol appears as a circle with five coloured segments.
  • This symbol can land on reels 2, 3, or 4, activating the Collect feature when it appears.

Collect Feature Explained

  • When one or more Power Collect symbols appear on reels 2, 3, or 4, the Collect feature is triggered.
  • During this feature, the Power Collect symbol flashes one of five colours and gathers all instances of a specific animal symbol, determined by the colour displayed.
  • Once collected, the Power Collect symbol turns into a WILD, a payout is awarded, the corresponding reel collapses, and the related meter is filled.

Animal Free Games and Leopard Bonus Features

  • Trigger these features by landing Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the same spin.
  • The active feature is based on which coloured meter (Gold, Red, Pink, Blue, or Green) is filled the most when Scatters land. If multiple meters are equally filled or empty, the feature is randomly selected from the possible options:
    • Lion Free Games (Gold Meter): On each spin, one random animal symbol transforms into a WILD.
    • Elephant Free Games (Red Meter): For 10 spins, multipliers appear above the reels. The rightmost multiplier multiplies payouts from Power Collect symbols. Once used, multipliers shift and a new one appears left. Possible multiplier values are 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, and 25x. Even unsuccessful collection attempts remove a multiplier.
    • Rhino Free Games (Pink Meter): For 10 spins, all Power Collect symbols on the reels are double-stacked.
    • Buffalo Free Games (Blue Meter): On the first spin, 55 stacked WILDs are added to reel 2; on the second, 40 stacked WILDs to reel 3; and on the fourth, 65 stacked WILDs to reel 4. These WILDs remain for the entire feature.
    • Leopard Bonus (Green Meter): Three Scatter symbols appear. The left and right Scatters show a cash prize and a win multiplier, respectively. The prize is multiplied by up to 5x, and finally, the total payout is multiplied by the total bet.

Return to Player Information

  • The theoretical return to player (RTP) value can be viewed in-game.
  • The RTP is calculated based on simulated game results over a large number of rounds.

Handling Disconnections

  • If an internet disconnection occurs during a spin, the outcome will display upon reconnection and any winnings will be credited as usual.
  • If disconnection happens during a bonus feature or the spin that triggers a feature, you will automatically return to the feature after reconnecting.
  • You can review the result of your previous round by accessing the game history icon in the bottom toolbar after logging back in.
