Safari Sun

Fantasma Games sends Safari Sun across the African savanna, pairing lions, rhinos, baboons, meerkats and hornbills with golden sunbursts and cinematic scene transitions. The soundtrack builds rhythmically toward each expansion and feature trigger, giving the presentation a sense of mounting tension between hits.

The reel layout runs unevenly rather than as a plain rectangle: an outer pair of shorter reels bookends four taller ones, in a shape read as 3-4-4-4-4-3, feeding into 576 ways to win. Sun-marked symbols carry an Expanding Symbol Feature — landing a win on one of these causes it to stretch across its full reel, opening up extra win paths on that spin. A separate Mystery Sun Feature can fire on any base game spin regardless of the sun-marked symbols, guaranteeing a win and potentially expanding up to three symbols at once.

Landing three Scatter symbols hands control to the player rather than starting a fixed bonus: five Free Spin modes are on offer, each built around one of the game's animals and set at a different volatility level. The Lion mode gives 4 spins with the lion as the only high-value symbol in play; Rhino runs 8 spins, Baboon 12, Meerkat 16, and Hornbill the longest at 20 spins, with each option shifting how often the featured symbol appears and how much win potential is on the table.

Safari Sun holds an RTP of 96% and is rated medium volatility, with a maximum win of 18,792x the stake and bets from 0.2 to 50 per spin. Released in August 2023, the choice built into its Free Spins round — trading spin count against a single animal's payout weight — puts more of the volatility decision in the player's hands than most feature-select slots allow, on top of the Mystery Sun triggers already running through the base game.
