African Elephant

Pragmatic Play rates African Elephant a medium-volatility release, its best return reaching 96.04% across three available RTP configurations, the other two set at 95.10% and 94.03%. The action plays out over a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 20 fixed paylines, stakes running from 0.20 to 100 per spin, and a maximum win of 15,000x the bet.

Long grasslands, acacia trees and a winding river set the scene, familiar territory for anyone who has played a savanna-themed release before, with a calmer, less percussive soundtrack than most games in the genre carry. J through Ace card ranks fill the lower end of the pay table, while a meerkat, leopard, wildebeest, zebra and rhino take the higher positions — five of the low symbols in a row pays 4x the stake, and the animals return between 5x and 30x. An elephant wild can appear on any reel, substituting for every symbol except the Bonus icon, and a five-symbol wild line is worth 75x the bet — though it only reaches the board through the Wild Shape feature rather than landing naturally.

Wild Shape can trigger at the end of any spin: a shape frames a cluster of random positions on the grid, every symbol caught inside it turns wild, and only then are wins evaluated. Three, four or five Bonus symbols — in the base game or during the feature itself — award 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and Wild Shape is guaranteed to fire on every single spin once the round begins. Players short on patience can buy straight into the round for 100x the stake, which lands 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols to open it.
