Safari Roar

Safari Roar is a classic-style African wildlife slot from Foxi (Fazi), published under the TipTop label. It uses 5 reels with 4 rows and 40 fixed paylines, the RTP is 96.00%, and the only bonus is a free spins round started by baobab-tree Scatters. There is no Buy Feature and no side game, so the whole appeal is the savannah artwork, the stacked animals and the chase for the Scatter trio.

Sunset Over The Savannah

The backdrop is an orange African sunset with acacia silhouettes, and the reel frame is dark enough to make the glossy animal symbols stand out. The premium symbols are painted as large, detailed portraits: a lion, a leopard, a buffalo, a rhino and an elephant. The lower values are the usual A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 in bold, colourful letters and numbers. The Wild is a sparkling diamond with the word WILD across it, and the Scatter is a glowing baobab tree.

The header above the reels works as a quick reminder of the bonus: three baobab trees lead to 10 free spins, with a BONUS label next to them. Under the reels sit the balance, the bet selector and the message bar, which says “Press Spin To Start” and later shows the last win. The mix of a classic layout with a modern, painterly look is what separates the game from the many fruit-machine titles in the same catalogue.

Stacked Animals And 40 Lines

Winning combinations start on the leftmost reel and pay from left to right on the active paylines, and only the highest win per line is paid. Wins on different lines are added together. The animal symbols often arrive stacked on a reel, and in several spins a whole column was filled with lions or buffalo, which makes multi-line wins quite common. The paytable shows how the values rise: with a 0.40 bet the best symbol pays 4.00 for five of a kind, which is 10x the bet, while the lowest symbols pay 0.40 for five.

The line display in the game draws each winning path in a different colour, so it is easy to see where a win came from. In the demo the biggest line combination we saw paid 1.28 on a 0.40 bet, and many spins returned small wins of 0.10 to 0.90, which fits a medium-paced game.

Wilds And Scatters

The Wild diamond appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter. It helps to complete lines that would otherwise stop one symbol short, and since it lands on four of the five reels it shows up often enough to matter. The Scatter baobab tree appears on reels 1, 2 and 3 only, which is why the free spins trigger needs a precise alignment. Three Scatters pay 3x the bet in any position and start the bonus.

The Free Spins Round

Three Scatters award 10 free spins. Landing three Scatters again during the round awards 5 more free spins, so the feature can run longer than the first count suggests. Scatter wins are added to line wins, and only the highest Scatter win is paid. The rules do not describe special multipliers or extra symbols in the bonus, so the round plays like the base game with free spins, and its strength comes from the stacked animals and the Wilds working without any cost to the balance.

Reading The Paytable

The paytable is short and easy to remember. The top animal pays 4.00 for five, 0.50 for four, 0.20 for three and even 0.04 for just two symbols on a 0.40 bet, so a pair on the first two reels already returns a small part of the stake. The next two symbols pay 1.00 for five, which is 2.5x the bet, followed by a group worth 0.80 and 0.60, and the card values at the bottom pay between 0.50 and 0.40 for five of a kind. Because every line needs the leftmost reel, the stacked symbols on reel 1 are the ones to watch.

The game keeps the pace steady: a spin takes a few seconds, the message bar reports the last win, and the paylines light up in different colours when several wins land together. There is nothing to configure beyond the bet and the optional autoplay, which makes the demo a quick way to judge whether the safari mood suits you.

Bets, Controls And Settings

The bet is chosen with the minus and plus buttons next to the balance, and the game shows the number of active lines on both sides of the reels. The big golden button spins, the Auto button starts autoplay, and the menu in the top corner opens the paytable, rules and settings. The paytable lists every symbol for the selected bet level, and the shown prizes are already the final totals, with all multipliers considered, so there is no calculation to do by hand.

RTP And Overall Impression

The theoretical return is 96.00%, a standard figure for the genre. The game does not publish a headline maximum win, and with a single bonus and no buy option it is clearly aimed at relaxed play rather than at big-multiplier hunting. The sessions are shaped by line wins from stacked animals, the occasional Wild and the wait for three baobab trees.

Who Should Try It

Safari Roar suits players who like traditional five-reel slots with a clear rule set and an attractive theme. It is also a good demo for anyone comparing Foxi (Fazi) titles, because it shows a more painterly side of the studio than its usual fruit games. Players who want a Buy Feature, growing multipliers or a jackpot will find it plain, but for a calm safari spin session the demo above is quick to load and easy to read.
