Giraffe Wild

Giraffe Wild Overview

Giraffe Wild is a savanna-themed slot from CT Interactive, the online arm of CT Gaming, released on 20 June 2023. It plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with 20 fixed paylines, and the studio files it under its classic slots. SlotCatalog lists an RTP of 95.6% and no volatility rating; CT itself does not publish an RTP, so check the info panel of the casino version you open.

The Savanna Reels

The reels stand in front of a wide African plain at dusk, with acacia trees on the horizon. Six animals fill the paytable: a lion and a leopard at the top, a chimpanzee and a small monkey in the middle, and a macaw and a kingfisher at the bottom. There are no card royals, which gives the grid a calmer, picture-book look.

The Giraffe Wild

The giraffe is the wild. The game’s own rules say it substitutes for every symbol except the bonus symbol and lands only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the base game. During free games it can appear on all reels, which is where the tall giraffe does most of its work.

Scatter and Free Games

CT’s own game page explains how the bonus side fits together: the giraffe is the wild, and it works alongside the scatter symbol, which starts the free games and pays scatter wins that multiply the total bet rather than the line bet. Once the free games begin, the wild is no longer limited to reels 2–5, so a giraffe can also land on the first reel and start line wins itself.

Paytable

The paytable screen shows the animals in three pairs, each pair paying the same:

• Lion and leopard: 2.50 for five, 0.50 for four, 0.12 for three.
• Chimpanzee and monkey: 1.00, 0.25 and 0.10.
• Macaw and kingfisher: 0.50, 0.20 and 0.05.

The values scale with the stake you choose, so the ratios between the pairs are the useful part: a five-of-a-kind lion pays five times a five-of-a-kind macaw.

Our Wins

At a total bet of 10.00 one spin paid 30.00 (3x), with a single line on line 20 worth 5.00 and a x2 marker lit beside the reels. The stake selector offers steps such as 0.20, 0.40, 0.80 and 1.20 at the lowest denomination. Both sides of the reel frame are marked with the line numbers and the word FIXED, a reminder that all 20 lines are always in play and only the stake changes.

The Gamble Screen

Every win can be taken to a card gamble. Picking the right colour doubles the amount and picking the right suit multiplies it by four; a strip of the last ten cards sits above the deck. A 1/2 button lets you gamble only half – our screenshot shows 7.50 at risk from a larger win.

Numbers

CT quotes a maximum win of 5,000, and its game library lists wilds, free games and a bonus among the features, plus the gamble.

Who It Is For

Giraffe Wild suits players who like straightforward 20-line slots with a gamble option and a wild that grows more useful in the free games.
