Out in the Savanah, two monarchs will fight for your love and attention: who will win your loyalty in this Serengeti Kings mobile slot?
Day or night, Lions and Panthers, Meerkats and Cats. It’s all part of the gameplay in this Serengeti Kings slot from NetEnt, where you open up 5 reels and 4 rows full of wild creatures and Ace to 10 symbols.
From Hyenas to Giraffes and Zebras, this is as pretty as any Safari slot out there, from the Safari King slot to African Quest by Microgaming.
It does feel odd having massive reels for what is only 26 paylines however, and the fact that the sun slowly rises in the horizons, peaks, and then out comes dusk as you head into the darkness of midnight.
So what’s with the change in light through the game? Well, there’s two slightly different modes that rotate every 12 spins.
Much like a strange bingo Safari, you get points for every Lion or Panther that lands on the reels. These are collected by the side of the reels and you can see exactly how many of each you’ve spotted.
Why is this important? Because on the 12th spin, one of the two collected symbols will be deposited on the reels. So at the end of the day, all the Lions will be added, and at the end of the night, all the Panthers collected will land across all 5 reels.
These can be added to each other, and create wilds, or can be added together to create multipliers on the symbols themselves.
If you get several multipliers on a winning payline, they add to each other, creating some crazy huge wins for a volatile game.
It’s exciting isn’t it? Knowing that every 12th spin you have a chance at some mind-blowing big wins, if only enough Panthers and Lions would show up!
Which is more than you can say from most other phone slots: you can play hundreds of spins and get nothing. But you can also get 2 or 5 spins in a row that can blow your mind.
But that’s kind of the appeal. We like that any and every spin is full of potential, whilst here you are paying 11 spins for the chance of something exciting on the 12th.
Even during the Serengeti Kings slot free spins, it’s all down to the 12th spin, where every Panther and Lion symbol collected is added to the reels, giving you huge potential for massive wins, lots of wilds and lots of multipliers.
Some of you out there will love that predictability, in which case, add a star to this review. But if you like your casino slots a little wilder and little crazier, maybe head over to the Piggy Riches Megaways slot or the Wild Blood 2 slot review.

Wild: The Wild symbol can appear on all reels and replace any other symbol to create a win.
Lion Feature and Panther Feature: You start with the Lion feature, and then after 12 spins, swap to Panther feature, and back again every 12 spins.
During the Lion feature, all Lion and Panther high paying symbols will be collected. On the last spin, only the lion symbols will be put back onto the reels. Same with Panther - all Lion and Panther symbols are collected and then the Panther symbols are then placed onto the reel for that last spin.
If a Lion symbol is placed on top of a Panther symbol or vice versa: a Wild symbol is created.
If a Lion symbol or a Panther symbol is placed on top of the same symbol or a Wild symbol, this symbol's Multiplier is increased by 1.
It's possible for the multiplier to add to each other - so a symbols with a 2x and one with a 3x multiplier, will give you a total of 5x.
Free Spins and Scatters: 3 or more scatters activated 12 free spins. On the last spin, all lion and panther symbols collected will be placed on the screen.
Buy Free Spins: Not available in all casinos, but you can buy the free spins as activated with 3,4 or 5 scatter symbols. The amount changes according to how much you are betting and how many symbols you have collected so far.
We love the look of this Serengeti Kings slot game, even though technically NetEntertainment use some razzle-dazzle to make you think that there are two games, but it's just one with different animations.
Day or night, the results are much the same: you end up paying for 12 spins, and on that 12 spins you may or may not win big. Nothing much else happens, even with the free spins you are waiting for that final 12th spin.
A great game if 12 is your lucky number, we guess?
It annoyed us, mostly because we like mobile slots where any spin can lead to a big win, rather than feel like we need to pay our dues before something interesting happens.
Even though at times we've won over 100 times out bet to say that you can win a good amount - over 5,000x your bet on a good day. Plus it's got a nice low minimum bet of 0.10 a spin, allowing everyone a spin - much like the Esqueleto Explosivo 2 slot machine.
