Play this African-themed game from Alchemy Gaming and collect scatters to build multipliers. Scatters can also be used to buy free spins at a reduced price if that is your preferred method of playing. There is a massive maximum win of 30,000x your stake up for grabs, and multipliers worth up to 25x can be applied to your free spins.

The African Legends slot takes you on an exciting journey to the land of lions and acacia trees. The action unfolds on a dusty plain with tussock grass and distant mountains and is accompanied by a soundtrack that could have been from The Lion King. In a refreshing change from traditional fruit-themed slots, this game offers an interesting take on the popular African theme. 

As a result of its high variance, this game offers a very volatile gaming experience. The excitement of waiting for big wins will all come down to personal preference. The RTP varies, but on average it is around 94.1%. Different casinos offer different RTPs, so it is advisable to check them before playing.

 

Generally speaking, Microgaming demo slots are straightforward and easy to play, but here are some tips to get you started:

You can start your Africa xUp experience by clicking the chip stack and selecting your bet. Below the screen is a display of the amount.

To the left of the reels is displayed the xUp multiplier trail.

You can access the paytable by clicking on the three-dot tab.

Watch your playing balance in the bottom left corner of the screen. Whenever you play for real money, stay within your budget and do not stake more than you can afford to lose.

Stakes start at 0.30 and go up to 37.50 per spin. There are 10 symbols in this game, including the obligatory A to 10 playing cards. Players must match at least three symbols starting on the first reel to win. Among the higher paying symbols are a warrior, a female warrior, an elephant, a rhinoceros, and a buffalo. Among the points to note about the wins are:

You can earn between 3.33x and 4.67x your stake if you match five symbols.

If you get five-of-a-kind, you can win up to 50x your bet.

Africa xUp's scatter collection feature is its main bonus feature. In this way, you can build multipliers that come into play when you trigger the free spins bonus. If you have collected a few free spins, you can also buy a bonus for less. 

You can earn multipliers by landing xUp symbols on any of the reels, and the collection meter calculates how many multipliers you have built. You need two multipliers in view in order to add them to your multiplier trail. The multiplier starts at 2x and goes up to 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x, 10x, and 15x. A multiplier of 25x is the maximum possible.

As long as you remain at the same bet level, multipliers will continue to be collected. You will have to start the trail again if you change your stake. You will continue your trail where you left off if you return to a previously chosen stake.

You will receive eight free spins if you land three xUp icons. Your winnings can be boosted by the multiplier you reached on the trail during these bonus games. Each time you land two scatters, you'll also get two more free spins. As a result, your multiplier for free spins will also increase.

You can buy the bonus if you don't have the patience to wait for the free spins to land. There are a variety of options available here. Your eight bought free spins can start with multipliers between 1x and 25x, but the higher the multiplier you choose, the more you have to pay. Alternatively, you can pay 80x your stake and receive a random multiplier if you feel like taking a chance. 

Wild symbols can also appear anywhere in the game and can cover whole reels if they expand. You can use them to create winning combinations and to offer matching wins on their own.

Even though this is a popular theme, this young studio manages to give it an original spin. As a result, you get an imaginative game, although some players may not like the erratic nature of such a high-variance slot. It can take a long time for decent prizes to arrive - but when they do, they can be worth the wait. A maximum winning potential of 30,000x your stake gives you an indication of what to expect if the stars align.
