Safari Cubs Go Wild

Safari Cubs Go Wild Overview

Safari Cubs Go Wild is a compact savannah slot from GameArt, released on 20 August 2024. It plays on a 3x3 grid with 5 paylines, and both SlotCatalog and GameArt’s own game configuration give an RTP of 95.96% and a maximum win of 3,412x the bet. SlotCatalog rates the volatility as high.

The numbers below come from our own demo session, played at a bet of 12.50.

A Small Grid on the Savannah

The grid stands in the middle of an African landscape at sunset, with flat-topped acacia trees, red rock and a hazy orange sky. The cast is a group of cartoon animal cubs – a lion, a hyena, a zebra and a purple rhino – drawn with big eyes and cheerful faces, and the lower symbols are a paw print, a green safari jeep and an orange acacia tree.

The lion cub is the Wild. On the reels it appears with a pink WILD label under its face, and in several of our spins it filled whole columns.

The Paytable

With only three reels, every win is three of a kind on a line. At 12.50 the hyena pays 62.50 (5x the bet), the zebra 37.50 (3x) and the rhino 25.00 (2x).

The info page does not print the values of the three low symbols, but our screenshots show them in action: a line of three trees paid 7.50 (0.6x) and a line of jeeps paid 10.00 (0.8x). Wins are shown in cash and pay from left to right.

The Five Lines

The five paylines are the classic set for a 3x3 grid: the middle row, the top row, the bottom row and two V-shaped lines that run corner to centre to corner. On such a small grid, a single stack of symbols can sit on three or four lines at once, and that is where most of the value comes from.

The best example came from a spin where the lion cub filled all of reel 1 and trees filled reels 2 and 3. Every one of the five lines paid a tree win, and the total was 37.50 – exactly 5 x 7.50, or 3x the bet from the lowest symbol in the game.

How the Wild Works

The lion Wild substitutes for the animals and the low symbols, and it shows how much a Wild matters on three reels. In one spin two lion Wilds landed side by side on the bottom row next to a rhino, and the line paid 25.00 as a full rhino line. In another, a single lion in the bottom-left corner helped a line of jeeps pay 10.00.

SlotCatalog also lists Sticky Wilds, Respins and a Random Multiplier among the game’s features. None of those events appeared in our captures, so we cannot describe how they are triggered; the 3,412x maximum is almost certainly reached through them rather than through the plain paytable, which tops out at 5x a line.

Reading the Screen

The layout is kept simple. The bottom bar shows the bet with plus and minus buttons, the win of the last spin and the balance, and a message line announces every result in words – “You won 25.00!” – so nothing is missed on the small grid. Winning lines are drawn as thin gold strokes across the three reels.

The info pages sit behind a menu on the left. They show the paytable for the animals, the low-pay symbols, a diagram of the five lines with the note that bet lines win in succession from left to right, and a separate “RTP & Max Win/Bet Info” button that opens the official figures.

What the Session Did

Our biggest single result was a board almost full of purple rhinos. Rhinos covered the middle and bottom rows on all three reels, and the spin paid 75.00 – three rhino lines of 25.00 each, or 6x the bet.

The smaller results followed the paytable exactly: 7.50 for a row of trees across the top, 10.00 for a diagonal of jeeps and 25.00 for the Wild-assisted rhino line. Over the session the balance moved between 335.00 and 497.50, which is a fair picture of the base game: frequent small wins and a few spins where stacked symbols suddenly cover several lines.

The Numbers to Keep in Mind

A 95.96% return is roughly in line with the market average of about 96%. Paired with high volatility and a 3,412x ceiling, it describes a game that pays mostly small amounts and keeps its real potential for the feature spins.

The info page lists a minimum bet of 0.05; SlotCatalog gives a range of 0.10 to 200. GameArt’s demo configuration also includes a gamble option for wins.

Who Should Play It

Safari Cubs Go Wild suits players who like small-grid slots with a clean look and quick spins. With only nine positions and five lines, it is easy to see every win as it happens, and the cartoon animals give it a light, friendly feel.

Players looking for long bonus rounds or complex mechanics may find it too simple; the appeal is speed and the chance of a stacked board.
